That album is pretty damn good but I reckon 89's Road To The Riches is a deadset classic imo.

They were. I was never a huge Swollen fan, but I was down to see them for $20, along with some pretty solid opening acts, especially Kuruption Kamp (also from Battle Axe).

Despite not being a huge Swollen fan, this was one of the sickest shows I've been to, for these reasons: I was front-center the whole time, got a hug in the middle of the set on stage from Mad Child, Prevail started a joint, and it worked its way right into my hand, and then my lungs, and at the end of the set (after the encore) Mad Child cracked open two beers and gave me one to chug.

They put on a good live show I give them that. My respect for Swollen went up exponentially from last night's experience. Awesome show!

we should really try and get a hip-hop forum made.

Funny you mention that....I was just searching around for a good hip-hop forum, couldn't find anything too great.

There are good ones, but yes we need one. This is here dumb, it's like a white boy music forum.

could you link me to one of these good ones?

Anybody scope the new Zion I album yet?

ya it's not very impressive. average to slightly above.

Fer sure on that. No changing pure west coast roots in my brainwaves, anyway.

i just cant get into west coast stuff that much... i like blu/exile, blackalicious, some dre, not much else i guess.

Yeah West Coast kinda sucks except for early N.W.A., and Tupac is decent.

East Coast is murda though

both coasts are fly 2 me

West Coast was hot back in the day but it's been sleeping since Tupac died.

Supposedly the Game brought it back but I try not to listen to him.

definitely

Ok, so Finale's Pipe Dream and a Promise might be a contender for album of the year...

[quote=LostChild;17151152]West Coast was hot back in the day but it's been sleeping since Tupac died.[/quote]according to you or spin magazine?

i didn't even like tupac.

[I]The Documentary[/I] was really good.

I like all three of Game's albums. None of them are really much above average but he'll end up having one hell of a greatest hits album down the road.

the game's next album will feature product placement via constant namedropping

Agree with that. I haven't bought anything of the Game's yet, but I would probably buy a Greatest Hits and leave it at that

It's true that he likes his namedropping.

The guy who just won best local rapper entered my rap battle :D
