    Next album is KILLA Cam's Come Home With Me

    [​IMG]

    This album might have just got me into rap. Intro alone, I could listen to that s--- for hours. Hey Ma, Oh Boy, Daydreamin, Cam had the hits too. Cam jacking the Ambitionz As A Ridah beat. Tight. I don't think Purple Haze was better than this.

    Next album is Curren$y's and Alchemist's collab album, Covert Coup.

    If mixtapes were to be considered classics, this tape here better be in the top 5.



    This just might be the magnum opus of both Spitta's and Alchemist's career. This d--- well should've been an album. Scottie Pippen is still a top 10 song of the decade. Literally everything is perfect on this tape.

    Bun's albums are better, considering he's a better rapper than p----, but p---- has that personality that makes his albums more enjoyable than Bun's imo. Then again, never took the time to check out UGK in the fullest.

    Mos Def is top 10 rapper of all time. Whole project is great, issa shame it's his last good one, because that Dec 99th album was pretty yuck, at least for me.

    Supermagic, Quiet Dog Bites Hard, Revelations and Life In Marvelous Times are my fav songs of it.

    I'm a huge Mos Def Stan, his career has it's highs and lows, the Ecstatic is certainly one of those highs. This was an album were he was 100% focused and inspired, probably because the production of this is off the chains; No rap track sounds like Supermagic, no song has ever hypnotized me like Auditorium (for that matter all of those Madlib beats are magnificent) nor has their been anything as cool & groovy as Casa Bey. Its a truly awesome album from a truly awesome rapper,

    His first three albums are tbh. Either this or The Coming is probably his best work yet. Couldn't say why Busta's albums don't get enough attention per say, can't say singles, besides ELE. ELE never really had that single that propelled the album up the charts like his other albums, like It Ain't Safe No More & When Disaster Strikes, kinda explains it being the second worst selling Bus album. Never really dropped a bad album, Back On My BS & IASNM aren't bad, just very forgettable.

    I still like In Stereo, I just hate how disjointed the album is. Relistening to this rn.

    Edit: Should note that it's disjointed as a Wu Tang project and as an album alone. It's missing that grimey Wu sound that's been in the previous albums, which threw a lot of people off, myself included. As an album alone, it's very inconsistent. It's not Digi Snacks level, but it's very all over the place, even on RZA standards.

    Next album is by The RZArector, Bobby D, RZA's Bobby Digital In Stereo.

    [​IMG]

    It's impressive how long this album has held up. Back when it first came out, I say this was WAY ahead of it's time. Dare I say it reaches Deltron levels. Likewise, this is RZA's best album and pretty much started to fall off lyrically at least after Digital Bullet.

    This album isn't for everyone though. It's RZA, his delivery and nutty metaphors and lyrics are gonna throw a lot of people off, as expected. Beats can get really undiversified at times. It's not amazing, but still great. Check out Digital Bullet too. *dododo*

    If not better than Purple Haze, at least in the same ballpark

    I love UGK and p---- is top 5 OAT as far as I’m concerned, but his solo work is pretty hit and miss. Pimpalation has its moments, and it’s probably better than Sweet James Jones Stories, but I don’t think it’s an accurate display of what he’s capable of

    No Limit Top Dogg is the 2nd best Snoop album, maybe 3rd at worst
