2024 Spring Hip Hop Binge |
1 | | UGK Ridin' Dirty
One of the most fun times in my sput career was this few week period where me and hawks and aiwaz were bumping every hip hp thread imaginable, writing reviews, and sharing dozens of albums with each other. |
2 | | South Central Cartel 'N Gatz We Truss
It all started on 4/20/18 because we were on the nose as balls and it might be April 8th but let's bring it back on a more wide scale level! |
3 | | Big Mike Somethin' Serious
Rec albums here and I'll try and get to some but I can't guarantee all. And for anyone that looks on to the list, check something you haven't heard before! Or revisit an old classic you already love. |
4 | | E-40 The Mail Man
Share your favorite albums, talk about your favorite scenes. What's your favorite era, what's the best crew? |
5 | | Magic (Hip-Hop) Skys The Limit
It's a tired conversation of how much this site slacks on hip hop but let's just try to take one little step forward! |

Got like a third into this and had to dip. It's just so boring after a song or two bro. It's staying a

I won't lie, the first time I tried jamming this when I said that I was starting I turned it off immediately and almost came and said it and 1'd it. But I'm glad I gave it a chance at another time because this is dope as balls. Love the beats and his style grew on me cause at first I did not like the words-spilling-out-of-the-mouth flow at first.

Beats are outstanding. Vince is good sometimes, often boring, and downright bad sometimes.

14 | | MC Ren Ruthless For Life
REVISIT
I always felt like this was his best album. His other ones always have some flaw from not being super memorable at times or the production and songwriting just kinda lacking but this one is dope. Glad he got Snoop and Cube and 8Ball & MJG on here as well as like half the album produced by Ant Banks. Very fun album and underrated |
15 | | Mr. Shadow Till I Die
REVISIT
Possibly better than Born Without A Konscience which is the one I know better but it's still inconsistent. The shitty party songs are here like they are on BWAK which just totally throw off the vibe. Still overall a good album though and definitely worth a listen for fans of Chicano Rap and gangsta rap

Dope as balls. I associate this with the Mach-Hommy album from having them both on repeat in a playlist at work one day this week.

Might be my favorite member of the whole crew. Some of the coolest beats of this era of Three 6 as well.

32 | | Rappin' 4-Tay 4 tha Hard Way
REVISIT
Been a while since I heard this album. I appreciate a lot of it a lot more than I used to now that I’m not going into it for Off Parole 2. His rapping isn’t as good as that album but the production is sooo funky. I couldn’t look past it not being consistently laid back like OP but it’s got its own identity.

I'm not huge on the Larry June Type Flow but the beats on here are wicked. Also I realized LNDN DRGS is literally Jay Worthy and Sean House and my dumbass just used the name on streaming to add them to here lmao. I gotta get that merged.

NEW DISCOVERY
This was a shock. His best album since the Revenue Retrievin' series for sure. He rewound his sound and flow to back then when he wasn't actually trying to land on the beat all the time. Great as balls

REVISIT
Yeah this is probably slightly better than I thought about it when it came out. Bet You Didn't Know is so hilarious though and absolutely fire I can't tell if it's good or not.

NEW DISCOVERY
Finally checked this dude out after watching this interview of him talking about running credit card scams on the dark web and stealing $20 million. Very fascinating. As far as this album goes though, it's very 2005 west coast hip hop and he acknowledges on the very first song how he sounds just like Biggie which is better than pretending like he doesn't. Some good songs in the beginning. https://youtu.be/11sYJxt7Tso?si=WyoEUEgdy-1kH9AY

39 | | ScHoolboy Q Blank Face LP
REVISIT
Been years since I listened to this and wasn't into his style at all. I've been slowly going back through his catalog since the beginning of the year and he's definitely very dope even if I get a little exhausted still sometimes. Working my way up to Blue Lips which I'm excited for. |

Still boring and limp dicked

Pretty cool. Much better than Crash Talk but not quite as good as the three before CT

42 | | Big Tone Mercele$$
REVISIT
Woodie did his thing with the production here it's that classic Woodie sound. Big Tone isn't a super engaging rapper for me but it can definitely grow on me.

43 | | Pete Rock Soul Survivor
Pots
Pete Rock is just one of the best man. Production is so killer on here. Song with MC Eiht is good as balls bro.

44 | | DJ Quik Balance & Options
OLD FAVORITE
DJ Quik doesn't really have a perfect album top to bottom but this one has such a dope nighttime vibe that his others don't. It's very similar to Rhythmalism and iirc is crafted using leftover ideas from those sessions but it's so great. It's wild to think he doesn't look back on this album fondly cause he felt like he half assed it but it's definitely one of his most memorable to me. Pitch In Ona Party is one of the best hip hop songs of all time to me.

Definitely a big step down from Operation Stackola but the back half is very dope for the most part. Killaz On The Payroll is hard as hell and Hypnotize with Redman is dope as fuck too.

Yeah this is better than the first time I heard it a few years ago but it still just starts to sound the same after a while.

REVISIT
Finishing off going back through all of Three 6 to rate them. Wasn't a fan as much as I was the first times I jammed it but it's still good. Maybe just listened in the wrong setting.
