Sirens sounded, they seemed astounded: THE ILM RAP MUSIC OF THE GODS ALL TIME 100 GREATEST ALBUMS OFFICIAL THREAD

yessssssssss

yup

wish the foot high flat top would make its way back

I love that "The Choice Is Yours" is in that car commercial with the hamsters, because my 7 year old niece is now obsessed with that song.

YO WHO THE FUCK USED MY TOOTHBRUSH

just noticed that cover could go on Up-the-arse corner

the hamsters... why

album is great though, always good for a laugh

Flavor of the Month is like a top 20 of all time jam for me.

underrated track: "Similak Child"

next record is the first to place with a #1.

sorry i am going through these so quickly btw, but i was hoping to get an hour nap before work tonight. tomorrow it'll be better paced.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, my number 1.

If it has a first-place vote, doesn't that break the tie?

it is 1 higher.

hadn't heard that album until a few months ago but yeah the love is well-deserved. production/beats are top notch party fonk

quik is the quintessential "i should listen to him more" artist

when the overdriven delay vocal effect kicked in in the title track I was like "whoooh shit okay this is something different"

I really want one of these jackets.

^^^album is half unbelievably awesome, half horrible bullshit FYI

RE: Quik - I'm guessing I should prob check this out asap. I have not listened to any DJ Quik b/w Way 2 Fonkee & BlaQKout, but now that he's having this great late-career upswing, I've been meaning to get to his (rather extensive & sorta intimidating) back catalog

damn, that is a young-looking KRS-One

I would just say Criminal Minded is all around better/more consistent and leave it at that

QUIK: His catalog is not that extensive tbh. Start w/ Rhythmalism though. The late career "upswing" is a sham, he never fell off, the media just finally caught up.

i'd be pretty hyped if the first 3 Kanye records made the list and MBDTF didn't

<3 Camp Lo

re: Quik - Tonite is awesome and it was like the first thing he did!

xp

gotta admit, I do not know this Camp Lo

i think you need to rectify that immediately pillbox.

Uptown was my number 4, so good.

RIP Jam Master Jay :(

everyone loves the black nostaljack

Black Sheep is the first of my top 10 to place. Love that album. When it came out I started calling one of my female friends "Similak Child" and she thought it was cute. That she still thinks it's cute when I break out with a "You're the woman" is awesome.

lolz. run-dmc s/t is way too low but i think most will be saving their way too low shouting for the next record.

RIP BIG PUN

never liked him and his creepy tongue waggling

oh lol I forgot that I own this

he really was big

another record i think suffers from being too long but otoh he died before making Yeeeeah Baby properly so any pun is worth it i guess

Album is a ripoff. Barely any puns at all.

and the last of the day, another i am ashamed of never hearing...

my brother saw Pun either on an awards show or at some local festival and said that the first thing the roadies did was bring out a stool for Pun to sit on so he could wheeze

Capital Punishment has held up really well.

I did not vote for Capital Punishment, tho I gave high placement to a track from it.

Devin! Yay
