5 Star Albums

[Goreman]

Me Against The world is straight hip hop makaveli 7 day theory set the pattern for modern day rap albums (a diss song,a love song, an optimistic song, a religious song,a party song) but is far from what hip hop means (lyrically speaking) when i started the thread i was thinking about albums with little use of commercialism and to be honest i was thinking about Rakim or other rappers or groups (Gangstarr)

Actually im trying to sound like most of the people in the Life forum. In addition im trying to sound like the fools here that mention the Makaveli album 15 fuckin times, even tho the person before them clearly mentioned the album as well (WHY DO YOU PEOPLE REPEAT ALBUMS? CAN'T YOU SEE IT WAS ALREADY MENTIONED?).
Anyway im a little cranky today, of the top of my head

[Lok]

albums like makaveli & MATW are pretty much a given in this board. If I enter a thread such as this & want to see what albums people think are classic, I don't want to read the same album every second reply. We all got the point Makaveli is a classic, woopty woo, now lets move on & mention something else...

@ Aristotle: I bump music from all over, not just the shit on MTV or from a certain region, so I want to know where people are coming from to know what to expect so to speak (every region has its own style).

 

[VENOMOUS]

so have you ever heard of mr.mike?imo he is or had potential to be one of the dopest emcees from the south.

Wiked ways and rhasphody are some of my all time favorite albums.

I fell you on that. But if you try to get some people to even listen to this "different" music, they'll write a rapper off just from where he's from. You might not be trying to get people to listen to different shit but who knows.

 

[Lok]

If people write off an album or a rapper just because of the place he's coming from, it's their problem. I stopped caring about what people were listening to here a long time ago. The fact that we have 25 threads about G-Unit/Aftermath/Shady/whatever-is-hot-right-now-on-mtv every week proves my point. If people are tired of listening to the same wack ass love songs with a different bunk beat & an untalented R&B singer on the hook, they might consider checking the cats I & many other memebers here recomend. If they like whatever it is they hear on the Radio then its up to them.

@ VENOMOUS: Hell yeah, I heard Mr Mike - Wicked Wayz, shit is slumping. If you liked that album, you should check out "South Circle - Anotha Day Anotha Balla" he rips that one as well. If Eightball & MJG weren't on the same label, they might have been big like them.

 

[VENOMOUS]

yeah i got south circle album(thorough and mr.Mike) i still got it in heavy rotation till this day.Suave house records use to be the shit.I wonder why the label folded.
