Got Stillmatic on there but no Illmatic? ;O

 

[Luigitoilet]

ay. it's just a personal thing really. I put on Stillmatic/It Was Written on a weekly basis, I only listen to Illmatic on a monthly basis. I would probably call Illmatic a "greater" album in an objective sense but it doesn't keep me coming back as much as those two

Same with me I guess but the lyricism in Illmatic I couldn't deny lol. Had to put it first. I didn't put Stillmatic on because I felt my list would be overpowered with Nas even more than it already is.

Thanks but I already bought it last night.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Ah okay. It's pretty good I guess. I like the remixes.

United Kingdom rapper named Semantix.

Thoughts?

 

[MBlaze]

Ah okay. It's pretty good I guess. I like the remixes.

Indeed, album artwork is cool as well but for the original tracklist I used the regular artwork.

 

[.Marik]

Checked out an Indian rapper named Gangis Khan.

He's really good.

[KrazyGlue]

Can't say I know a whole lot about the Indian rap scene, lol. Song was alright.

i loved me against the world... i need to get that album in a cd.



oh, what is your guys' favorite neighborhood cd store? and what deals have you gotten?

for me, amoeba. theres one in berkeley, one in san francisco, and one in LA. the one in SF has a wayyy better clearance section. but over the times that ive went, ive gotten:

License to Ill: $1
The Don Killuminati: The Seven Day Theory: $1
Slim Shady LP: $1
Doggystyle: $3
ATLiens: $3
Funcrusher Plus: $1
Nature of a Sista': $2
Black Reign: $2
Illmatic: $4

also when you get 4 clearance items, the cheapest one is free. so i got like 8 albums for $11... forget which 8 though.

 

[Jane]

^dang, sick deals cookie. even MY anti-cd buying *** might have had to pick some of those steals up

thanks, but i wanna make a new one for us. (mostly cuz of the link name of the chat)

 

[KrazyGlue]

Just realized I never posted my 10 favorite albums! (Only posted 10 greatest)

1. Life After Death (yeah, I'm a Biggie fan)
2. Ready to Die (...MAJOR Biggie fan)
3. The Chronic 2001 (Dr. Dre is awesome, and he deserved every one of the 9 million sales from this album)
4. Graduation (may be a surprise, but I think Kanye was at his prime here both in rapping and in production)
5. Illmatic (I love The World Is Yours, NY State of Mind, and One Love)

Only ranked top 5 because after that there's somewhat of a drop-off. I usually don't like full albums, with the exception of the ones above. I identify with artists more than albums. So I'm gonna have to rank my favorite artists to be more accurate:

1. Biggie
2. Dr. Dre (not his rapping per se, but his production in combination with his ghostwriters and guest rappers)
--large drop off--
3. Tupac
4. Kanye West
5. Bone Thugs N Harmony (you heard me right, Tha Crossroads and 1st of Da Month are great songs and they did great guest verses)
5. Outkast
6. Wu Tang Clan (including all of the work from individual members)
7. Army of The Pharaohs (Jedi Mind Tricks + a bunch of other people)
8. Nas
9. The Game (Hate it or Love it, How we Do, Dope Boys, My Life, and Doctor's Advocate are all great songs)
10. UGK

[IAmBlu3]

Get Rich Or Die Tryin - 50
Below The Heavens - Blu
Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem
Moment Of Truth - Gangstarr
Death Certificate - Ice Cube
Revolutionary Vol. 2 - Immortal Technique
Mood Muzik 2/3 - Joe Budden

Illmatic/Stillmatic/God's Son - Nas

Game Theory - The Roots

not in order, aside from Illmatic being first.

 

[Kingdom Come]

Really though...

The World is YOURS!!!!!!!

 

[Luigitoilet]

Ah man, I forgot Cuban Lynx.

Pt 2 is way sick too

 

[Kingdom Come]

That song he made for ODB was sad.

 

[IAmBlu3]

i actually really didn't like pt 2....

 

[Jane]

i liked it i just thought it was overhyped. but still a quality album

 

[Kingdom Come]

There is something that is ALWAYS overhyped. And for me in music. It's pretty much anything Lil Wayne touches. I don't feel Cash Money/Young Money.

Baby.
Lil Wayne.
Drake.
Lil Chuckee.
Lil Twist.
Tyga. ( I've heard good things about him from respected people though)
Mack Maine.
Gudda Gudda. ( The worst one of all)
Nicki Minaj. (She is bad but she makes my peepee elevate)

This roster of people is oooooverhyped out the butthole.

 

[Boofy!]

I forgot all about The Minstrel Show and Blackout!

Little Brother is top tier

I'm a lil wayne fan, though there are some songs i can't understand how anyone could like (phone homeeee)

I love this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbhbmb3L-MA
UGK>>>>>>>

 

[Kingdom Come]

You know. Aside from Cham and Z-Ro and some of Devin the Dude, I really don't care for Texas rappers.

 

[Linguini]

A top ten is pretty tough for me but...

1.Illmatic

The other 10 aren't in any specific order

Moment of Truth
College Dropout
Reasonable Doubt
Ready to Die
Don Killuminati: The Seven Day Theory
Donuts
The Chronic 2001
OB4CL
Ridin' Dirty
Revolutionary Vol.2

Edit: Had to add Revolutionary Vol.2 because that was the 1st rap album I listened to over and over again for weeks before I was even a hip hop head.

 

[Boofy!]

You know. Aside from Cham and Z-Ro and some of Devin the Dude, I really don't care for Texas rappers.

MIKE JONESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

WHO????????

MIKE JONNNNNNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

na but Bun B is that dude ur wiildin

Edit: i just realized ur from TX too, you really dont like Bun B?

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Really though...

The World is YOURS!!!!!!!

i love that song.

and Fashawn is really like the west coast nas. Boy Meets World has a similar structure to illmatic. not as good of course, but still really really good.


Hey Young World is so dope.

i love temptations by 2Pac.

tell me baby are you lonely? dont wanna rush ya i can help ya if ya only
let me touch ya

 

[KrazyGlue]

I love this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbhbmb3L-MA
UGK>>>>>>>

Agreed.

MY favorite UGK song ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvtZ9fuZv2E

(I think Bun B's verse on this song is his best ever. Amazing amount of alliterations, complex internal rhyming, and overall just awesome.)

Second favorite UGK song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCWH2MmlHQE

 

[IAmBlu3]

Fashawn is really like the west coast nas. Boy Meets World has a similar structure to illmatic. not as good of course, but still really really good.

ehh.....thoughts like this is what gassed him up to try that Ode to Illmatic.

 

[~N9NE~]

Ode to Illmatic was on point though.

Don't like either of the OB4CL's. Don't like Raekwon.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I like Raekwon but he definitely gets old fairly quick.

 

[~N9NE~]

Yeah I struggle to pay attention to dude after one song. That's lying, half a song. Only thing that persuades me to listen is the production.
