Baseheads is too low prob, but the PE votes are bound to be splintered all over the place.
this was the first PE track I ever heard - age 10 or ll. I really did not know what to make of it for a while, but the video was in constant rotation on Yo! MTV Raps for a looong time & the imagery made quite an impression, enough so that, when I heard Black Steel for the first time, I decided to take a chance on buying Nation of Millions, from the Columbia House tape club almost certainly, the first rap album I ever bought. Now Baseheads if prob #2 or #3 on the album for me.

I think ODB was the first time when one of "my" artists died unexpectedly. Certainly I'd never been quite as shocked to hear about a musician's death before; suddenly I could understand how those Nirvana fan friends of mine had felt in 1994.

Especially grateful because my wife was expecting a baby all week and this was a great distraction from the nerves. She gave birth today. Only hitch: throughout the long labour I had the bassline to Black Moon's I Got Cha Opin running through my exhausted head.

"Mind's Playing Tricks" is a great #1. Geto Boys (or at least that single) have really grown in stature over the years. If people on a message board in 1996 were constructing a top 100, you'd have been flamed stenuously for suggesting that MPT was better than "My Philosophy" "Ain't No Half Steppin'" or "Bring the Noise". They were a notch or two above ICP or whatever at that point. In fact, I remember just saying that Scarface was a great MC on rec.hip-hop and get tons of shit for it.
The rise of the South (and Texas) and the respect for Scarface's solo career, as well as the internet fetishism over Rap-a-Lot, have made Geto Boys acceptable.
