this is incredible, but i think this is a chapter in Brian Coleman's upcoming album that dops next month... i think that i'm gonna hold off until i have received the entire book, the first was a real hip-hop bible haha.. i agree about "Most Wanted" was one of the best albums of all time, truly fanta...

really tough choice, but i had to go with OC's "O-Zone", one of my all time favorites for sure.

just took a listen and you did a really great job with this, being two true veterans in forming the QB sound, it's a shame they never got more attention... at least Blaq Poet got to make some dope albums on the solo tip (mainlly "Tha Blaqprint" and "Rewind: Deja Screw") plus of course his albums wit...

it's amazing to think how much music M.O.P. really have done... they got like 8 albums on their own, and loads of soundtrack joints, guest features, etc. and they are always DOPE, can always elevate a track... well almost, lol 7vhpBWb6upQ it's interesting how extremely few guest spots Billy Danze ha...

much props for this Debonair, some rare stuff on here... thanks a lot!

^ that "House That Hatred Build" is INSANE!! i believe that is the first thing they ever recorded as The Gravediggaz, Prince Paul posted it on his Soundcloud and i think that's what he said... the Gravediggaz demo tape is pretty damn ill. this one's cool too, from the "Tales From The Darkside" sound...

Them Dominic Owens versions are never ever from 1995. What kind of clown is that dude? J87D0_T7jXQ AIYO turn the base up a little bit G You put the Dominic ass fuck version on your comp over this? FOR REAL E7MWnYLKpB4 who the hell you're calling clown? you really come off as one of those elitist hi...

ill, many thanks for that, gonna give it a spin later... "Niggamortis" is one of the illest albums ever.

a question for y'all, did you think it was a wise choice for them to drop "Pass The Shovel" and "Freak The Sorceress"

Them Dominic Owens versions are never ever from 1995. What kind of clown is that dude? J87D0_T7jXQ AIYO turn the base up a little bit G You put the Dominic ass fuck version on your comp over this? FOR REAL E7MWnYLKpB4 who the hell you're calling clown? i love the respect here at Philaflava but i ca...

^^ hmmm, interesting... what is that?
it says it's non-music, a comedy record but suitable for in-store playing?

illest: thanks for the info, do you know who did?

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bZkRI_fUo6w/VB6E_eYbMlI/AAAAAAAAPFc/bLDu2JxP2jc/s1600/rakim_top.jpg i've been heavily on my Rakim shit lately, listening extensively to everything from "Paid in Full" to the underrated "The Seventh Seal". Between '92:s "Don't Sweat..." and his official solo deut in '97, "T...

IRISH_CRAIG - Yes Rick Rubin was one of several executive producers of the album.. i read and listened to several interviews with him about the album. Kanye called up Rubin asking if he could listen to his album and help him decide what should be left on the cutting room floor. Rubin said yes, figur...

Thanks for sharing. Regarding RZA's verse on Constant Elevation, I like this version less. yeah same here, but still it's very cool to hear a totally different verse from RZA here... this version, "1800 Suicide" (RZA Remix) and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" w. Craig G was featured on Prince Paul's ...

this thread is amazing, i really didn't know real hip-hop heads actually are big fans of "14 SHots to the Dome"... it's understandable though, it got rough ass beats, LL sounds fierce, it got concept tracks in droves, some straight knock you out shit,, disses to sucker emcees, very few guests and th...

WOW, absolutely fantastic!!!
many thanks for the heads up Wicked!

a serious thank you to Frogman for the upload of the original tape, everything about it fits the description from the "Donuts" book as described above.. it's pretty much untouched except for a few additional songs - like "Workinonit" which alone added a good 3 minutes to the tape. i like how the "D...

really great thread this! i just read it all through and got some comments, questions and stuff so bear with me please.. first of, i wonder if there is some truth to that Madlib / Stones Throw falling out. it kind of seems unlikely, but i believe that Madlib's latest two albums (the one with Freddie...

Remember Sister Souljah who was down with Public Enemy back around the time of "Apocalypse '91"? not much of a flow to say the least but she had some powerful lyrics and she got some booming ass beats from Eric Sadler and Epitome of Scratch for that one album she did... i noticed on the last single ...

just checked the booklet, and the third production coordinator listed is a guy called Richard Simmons who really haven't done much - (http://www.discogs.com/artist/2057830-Richard-Simmons-3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) what he has done seems to be more of soul/R&B-hip-hop so possi...

it is a good album no doubt, but to me i think it's the album of theirs i like the least. it's still a 4/5 album but the three others are closer to 5/5 LP:s for me, but theres plenty of bangers on there and it's a good front-to-back listen. i do agree that "Juice" is one of their absolute strongest ...

Bbatson - thanks for that info although it was bad news hahah...
damn, that was my last hope of ever hearing that was on that Doo Wop tape... maybe someone here know Dr. Butcher ot C4 and can ask about it

anybody have the Pete Rock remix of "Is It Good To You"? i Think it only appeared on one edition the 12"´, and is called "The Straight Mix". would be forever greatly!

also Pete Rock's remix of Akik's "Back Home" i've been looking for forever

thanks in afvance

many many thanks for this Debonair, love me some good ol' BBC...

I think I probably would have liked it more with more Marley/K-Def and less QDIII. It does have some joints though. 'Crossroads' is a diabolical message track. I'm a bigger fan of Mr Smith - if you take the best songs from that and combine it with the best songs from that 'Double L Cools Down' boot...

claaa7 do you have the Soul Survivor from the Doo Wop tape? I'd like to hear it if you could up it. Thanks. sorry, i don't, i have actually never Heard it either but been wanting to do so for a long time. if you look at the production credits on the sleeve Dr. Butcher atually is a co-producer on th...

mad jewels in this thread, huge props to TheBigSleep - Big L's #1 fan.. this thread made me go back and listen to the Digga release of that Chilldren of the Corn mixtape and i think it was the first time i actually listened to it in full and i was blown away. Bloodshed was a monster, and both Killa ...

only tooken the first one so far..

13/20 - Phife Dawg,

missed a few West Coast question and the athletes questions, but pretty cool thread though.. i'm gonna do the others as well

^ you're not missing much when it comes to "Phenomenon", it's a horrible album.. i Think i only listened to it once or twice, and the only song i can remember liking is "4,3,2,1" which is a Classic. there's probably one more good song on there but that album was 100 times worse than "Nastradamus"

glad to hear i'm not the only one.. to me it feels as a very natural follow-up to "Mama Said Knock You Out" (my favorite LL album, closely followed by "Radio"). also how do y'all feel about "Mr. Smith"? to me that's a brilliant album as well, and LL's last truly great LP. it's softer and much of it ...
