Was there an album that you actually purchased that you completely regret?
There is one album I bought strictly because of the guest spots and maybe some of the production that I can honestly say I have not listened to 10 years and probably NEVER will. Even if you say this album isn't bad because of the reasons I provided, the fact Eon is all over it makes it so unbearable to listen to. A corny fucking album thru and thru. Gimmie the early 12" with Baby Blak, Rahsheed and Bobbito and I'm good.

I can only imagine how bad it is because I've heard Eon rap. Sad when your buying a artist album for everything on it except what they contributed.

Say what u want James but desire was ok for 10 bucks. How many albums did high and mighty do? i bet they barely crossed 100,000 or so copies. I regret alot of albums. Most recently Blood raw and three six mafia's albums. them shits was wack sans 2 songs on each.

Tela's 2nd album. As much as I fucked with his "Piece Of Mind" album, the 2nd wasn't doing it for me.....

You're talking about the shit by somebody called "The Anonymous", right?
That shit was TERRIBLE. It even had a completely dull and mundane verse from Eminem...in
1998 .

It was attrocious. Biggest waste of $$$ on a blind buy ever. Maybe the Stans on Ebay pay for it? Probly not.
Sandbox caked off lack of filesharing in 1997/8

The beat, yes. Best electric sitar in hh. Lyrics = not at all. Lyrics for most of the album really sealed the deal for me on heiroglyphics. Del was the only one with a strong/unique enough presence to hang post no man's land.

Lotta dope tracks on that lp. "No Nuts" made it on to about a dozen mixtapes I made in 1998-1999. You might want to check it again.

Dr. Dooom has it's moments, but almost all of it is skippable. "Welfare Love" stands out in my memory.
Black Elvis sucked. End of story.

Reggie's is Kool Keith's biggest fan.
He's probably sucked K. Thorton's dick, but that doesn't make him any less of an expert.

So by your reasoning, the people most qualified to rank the Atmosphere albums are Classy, Malpractice, and Drastik's girlfriend?
