Rams 10-05-2007 11:54 PM

It's alright.

Buckwild's [I]Diggin' in the Crates: Rare Studio Masters (1993-1997)[/I] is amazing. Edan's [I]Fast Rap Mixtape[/I] is pretty good. Kenny Dope has good compilations as well.

Tremens 10-06-2007 06:48 AM

Someone recommend an essential rap/hip hop album. The only nice thing I've ever heard is Illmatic.

The Chronic? Straight OUtta Compton? All Eyez on Me? Something like those I guess.

Boondox's new album [I]Punkinhead[/I] is the best rap album ever.

Have started work on those recommendations with WTC's Enter the Wu-Tang.

Very cool stuff. The soul music samples are awesome, the structures are bizarrely entertaining (very casual), great storytelling as well. A nice change away from the artificial sounding stuff.

Apocalyptic Raids 10-12-2007 10:34 PM

if you like that then you should also check out GZA - [I]Liquid Swords[/I] and Raekwon - [I]Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...[/I]

Yeah check out Liquid Swords if you like 36 chambers. As for myself, I don't like Only Built 4 Cuban Linx that much, but alot of people do.

Also, check out some Native Tongue stuff, like Mos Def - Black on Both Sides, Black Star, A Tribe Called Quest and Common, those are all favorites of mine. Most are pretty accesible too.
