its my favorite roots album

but still doesnt even come close to Main Ingredient to me

no I am not talking about some current rapper who feels its his job to drop some supah-scientifiku but totally irrelevant lyrakillz but the grimey rapper who either got holed up or died in a car crash. if you haven't grabbed dude's album "criminal" somewhere as bootleg (i only got it on that 'cause...

to each is own, but i know when aesop dropped that brick last year, most of those juxies had their hearts broken.

brick or not in the opinions of many... still scanned 70,000

road to the riches... one of my favorite tracks of all time

which im pleasently shocked to see in the lead right now

I'll go on the record and say i never liked Do You Want More? Ever i got it when it came out, didnt like it... and every year or so someone mentions it as their all time favorite and I go back to listen to it, and come to the same conclusion... i still dont understand its appeal... I always liked th...

You can hook up a keyboard and use it as a masterboard on the mpc, you dont have to play chords on the pads hehehe noob. Dont blame the tools man, they do what they need to do. umm i know this believe me, ive been using midi for over a decade ever since i had an s-950, roland keyboard, a roland r-8...

didnt you used to have an mpc??? not sure if you are asking me, but yes I used to have an MPC bought one i think in 2000, sold it in 2002 why did i sell it? (i might catch flack for this) I think the MPC2000 series is the most overated sampling workstation in the history of the hip hop world (at le...

did he ever drop a solo album?

I have the single (God Made Me Funky)... but just dont remember or know if an album was ever dropped?

Is the Tony D album any good? i like it, but i'm kinda a groupie for dudes productions. for the most part (except one or two duds) the beats are on par with what he was doing for prt & king sun at the time. he's a producer on the mic, so expect what you would from that, but he's competant and his s...

yes there were 2 j-lives back then... and word around NYC underground at the time is that they battled for the name

and as we can all see by the name changes... we know who won the battle

my dj side picked Lookin at the Front Door... with Treat me Right in a close second

Joints are well over a decade old and throw them on at a party, and the normal folk (chics) can appreciate em as much as the non-normal folk (hip hop heads)

I don't know how obscure it is.. But I'd like to add an album to this list.. Zhigge's - Zhigge featuring Salaam Remi of Made You Look fame.. While Raking In The Dough and it's 5 different remixes were most noted, my bread and butter, and a sure fire crowd motivator at any party was "Toss It Up".. D...

just remembered another one

Positive K - Skills Dat Pay Da Bills

this album had some serious heat, and never gets mentioned... a little silly in parts... but overall a solid album that usually gets overlooked

YZ - Ghettos Been Good to Me... ive been diggin in my collection lately trying to find it... the only songs i remember off hand is Return of the Holy One & Acid Rain which i always loved ( i think i remember these cuz they were on a 12" together)... i remember liking the LP alot when i got it... any...
