5.0 classic
Big L Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous
Nas Illmatic
Red Hot Chili Peppers Blood Sugar Sex Magik
This is the best album that the Chili Peppers have given the musical community. There is not a single weak song on this CD and, without a doubt, is one of my favorite CDs. As a bass player, I cannot help but drop my jaw at Flea's sheer melody and how he harmonizes with John Frusciante. He connects the drums and the guitar flawlessly, still leaving room for Anthony's lyrics. This was back when they were Pfunk, a hybrid of punk and funk from that era. Beautiful CD. I can't say enough good things about this album.

Keller Williams Laugh
Keller Williams "Laugh" covers everything from dancing to kidneys, and from roller blading to Price is Right. This cd takes you on a ride. His intimidating and busy guitar work is outstanding. Once you get over the incredible demonstration of his musicianship and you pick your jaw back up, one can really appreciate the actual flow of the songs. This is epitomized in the song, "Crooked". However, the gem of the CD is, without a doubt, "Freaker By The Speaker". Its funky, it flows, and the random lyrics do not take away from the value. Overall, it is a very strange CD. The only detraction would be his off-the-wall lyrics. When you are grooving to a song and you realize it is about roller-blading, it takes away from the song a bit. AKA "The Primus Syndrom"

Slick Rick The Art Of Storytelling
This low rating is a travesty. Slick Rick is a pioneer of his craft. His technique is unique to say the least. He has influenced everyone from Snoop Dogg to Nas. This CD, although repetitive at times, more than makes up for its tediousness with his sheer lyrical skill and his fluency of delivery. Listen to Me & Nas, I Own America Part 1, and Unify. Great songs. Great songs.
Streetlight Manifesto Everything Goes Numb
This CD is amazing. This single-handedly got me back into ska. Almost every single song is absolutly incredible. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you, Streetlight Manifesto, for funking your way into my heart.

Howlin Wolf Howlin' Wolf/Moanin' in the Moonlight
Jane's Addiction Ritual De Lo Habitual
Jedi Mind Tricks Visions of Gandhi
As far as rap goes, this is a wonderful CD. It starts out hard with Tibetan Black Magicians, teaming with Cannibus. Some of the songs on the CD can be rough around the edges (production wise, not attitude), yet songs like Animal Rap and Storm of Swords more than makes up for this. Those two singles are possibly my two favorite songs from JMT, along with I Against I and Get This Low. The rhyme techniques are unparalleled and the rhyme schemes are amazing. However, at times their intellectualizing of lyrics becomes detrimental to the song as a whole. It is hard to connect with the rhymes when they take an elitist approach.
