it's been another day of the old school for me, and i figured i wouldn't mind having a thread where i could leech old school hip hop albums off of people and share finds... what are some of your favourites? today i've been really enjoying Pete Rock and CL Smooth's ... "lot's of lovin" is such a cool song... it's really 90's sounding and verging on syrupy, but the duo make it work so well somehow... and then there's "the wigout", what a sweet song... this album blows my mind... |

Yes Mecca & the soul brother really redefined the hiphop sound back then. If you don't have it already, you should really check out Pete Rock & CL Smooth's "All Souled Out", The album/EP before Mecca&tsb. 6 great tracks. Also any EPMD album, but especially "business as usual" You prolly own some already, but just about any Gangstarr album will do just fine. All instant classics, except for their latest album (which was a flop imo). Some more classics: Brand Nubian - One for All Joeski Love - Joe Cool Nice&Smooth - Ain't a Damn Thing Changed KMD - Mr. Hood Special Ed - Legal YZ - Sons of the Father Big Daddy Kane - Long Live the Kane - It's a Big Daddy Thing - Taste of Chocolate Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Wanted Dead or Alive Intelligent Hoodlum (selftitled album) |

just listened to Arrested Development's debut: ... i dunno, it's got some pretty interesting production at times, but at other times it just sounds flat... to much keyboard preset shit... plus the lyrics are a bit too "consciousness-positive-god-blah" oriented... i know it's not right, but i find a lot of that stuff sort of obnoxious (i'm only lukewarm on Blackalicious for similar reasons)... what do other people think? anyone else heard this? |

Long Live the Kane without a doubt. Also check out Audio Two - What more can I say their song " top billin' " has been sampled to death btw, I have all those albums on vinyl so I can't be arsed to put 'em on mp3. However I did do that with some YZ tracks, you could leech 'em off me if you want, as I think I'm the only one hosting them. |

i think as a whole that arrested development album is great. mama's always on stage is just a badass track, and while none of the others really grab me the same way it's pretty solid throughout. as far as other stuff i still really love: too short - life is.. ice t - o.g. original gangster scarface - the world is yours e.s.g. - ocean of funk as you can see, i wasn't big into the east coast scene. although another of my favorite hip hop albums was masta ace incorporated - sittin' on chrome. great tunes there. also, mecca & the soul brother was pretty good. t.r.o.y. and straighten it out were rockin. |
