"All WE Got Iz Us" is one of all time favorite albums. It's hardcore and gritty, yet real from a social commentary point of view. It seemed to me that they dropped a lot of ignorance from "Bacdafacup". I used to always use this line back in the dayz:
and if this fucking rap shit dont pay
I'ma start selling drugs around my way
killin my own people in the USG
shit they gonna get it from somebody
I'd rather it be me
Last Dayz, dopest track on the album. And the Dead Prez/Onyx version is pretty straight too (major props to Sticky for mentioning his memorization of "Anarchist Cook Book") .

and I love the "Shut 'Em Down" album too. Raze It Up, Conspiracy, Veronica and Take That are all solid tracks. I used to think that Veronica was produced by Prince Paul, because it's straight up funny as shit and the samples are typical Paul Huston usage.
I loved Shut 'Em Down due to Black Dust:

go to Sticky's Verse: 2:40
Plus Big Pun's verse on "Shut 'Em Down" Remix is one of his best ever. Sticky's mentioning of kidnapping Russel Simmons is hilarious. Shit... that's a dope album...
And before I G.O. I have to leave one of hiphop's wonkiest videos ever from "Shut 'Em Down": "The Worst" with Method Man, Raekwon, X-1 (RIP) and Killa Sin.
