Only logical answer. Anyone who disagrees with #1 should be banned.

i think it was a brave choice, i went way out on a limb with it.

thoroughly enjoyed all these write-ups. good closer too.

you should do a spin-off, top 10 albums that aren't really as good as you think and break it down.

I suggested top ten worst rap albums...or I guess the bottom ten best rap albums, however you want to slice it.

i could do this all day. maybe make it a running series more than a count down.

i think my idea would cause more controversy but it depends on what you're going for.

ALASKA · Post by **ALASKA** » Thu Mar 18, 2010 4:56 pm

i think shitting on peoples faves will always cause controversy, either in a list form or a long running series.

^^^Make the above suggestions happen.

Good wrap up, good series.

Alaska - can you do the hip hop nation a solid and tag all of the posts from this series under a unifying tag, say "Top Ten-est Albums." This would allow us to see all of them together. You didn't consistently label your posts "Tim-Laska." It also doesn't hurt to have a recap post linking to each one specifically. I guess these are anal-retentive suggestions but they are a godsend to us Large Professor Watch Roger Do His Nerd Thing niggas out here.

Groups like Public Enemy pushed technological and creative boundaries to the limit, crafting elaborate collages that might layer dozens of nearly unrecognizable aural quotations over the course of one song. As we document in our film, the sample clearance system that emerged in the early 1990s put the brakes on this type of music making. Chuck D once told me that a Public Enemy song that contained 20 short samples would more or less cost 20 times what it would take to sample a single chorus of someone else's song.

Northwestern University Law Professor Peter DiCola and I demonstrate this problem in a forthcoming book titled Creative License (out in early 2011 on Duke University Press). We asked what would it would cost at today's rates to clear the audio fragments that make up Public Enemy's classic 1990 album Fear of a Black Planet. We crunched the numbers, and in our conservative estimate the group would lose roughly five dollars per album. That's a loss of five million dollars on a platinum record!

No, too long (nh).

Why not "Memories Are For Faggots"?

Although you should be warned that using the word faggot freely on the blogosphere isn't celebrated the way it is on message boards...

fucking

makes me love that record EVEN MORE.

"conservative estimate" LOL

the kids really don't know what they are missing. the 90's were really special (yeah so was '88 and shit, I lived it too) and hip hop will never return to that innocence. everyone knows everything now.

good choice for best LP. Bomb Squad never get their due. 'Nation of Millions' FUCKING SCARED me as a child. The sirens were creepy as fuck.

"Cold Lampin With Flavor" is also a forgotten song that is oh, so great. In some ways, better than "911 Is A Joke".

Public Enemy had album cuts that destroyed people's fucking best singles. "Who Stole The Soul"? Classic. "She Watch Channel Zero"? On point. "Burn Hollywood Burn"? You'll never get 3 legends like that going for broke on such a topic ever again.

they just don't make albums like they used to.
