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

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

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

this is so otm. shame blueprint usually gets overlooked for it, as that is 95% great.

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

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

Good finish to the day.

pretty happy with the results so far. 5 albums i voted for!

I had forgotten "Still Not A Player" was so hot

Yah, but I'm Not A Player is better.

oh yes, absolutely

goddamn I knew he was big but I had no idea he weight 700 POUNDS when he had his heart attack

700 Pounds
