7. The Firm, The Album (1997)

cause there's nothing on any of these records better than 'desperados'

the Goodie Mob album and the paisley-tinged "Put The Message In The Box" band

haha ditto

Kane or LL

drive the car around the woooorhooooooooo

firm is kind of underrated. its not what people expected after lifes a bitch obv, which i think is why its on the list - ppl expected it to be a load of lifes a bitch/eye for an eye/verbal intercourse/mo money mo murda type tracks, instead they got this ultra glossy/slick/slightly silly with the cliches (these guys really went to town with their 'look ma, im in a scorcese flick!' fantasies) crime mafioso thriller/tv movie rather than what the godfather typography/the ppl making it might like to think they were making. it IS hip hop's 'cinematic' obsessions/aspirations rendered somewhat succesfully, just more multiplex than arthouse.

i need to check that melvyn flynt album though - i cant remember anything from it

glad im gay is on there - its prob the most boring thing lil b has done

46. Leaders Of The New School, T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye) (1993)

OH FUCK OFF. IF YOU COULDNT THINK OF A 50th YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST MADE IT 49 RECORDS AND LEFT OFF THIS K-CLAAAAAAAAAAASSIC.

Melvin Flynt had a decent Neptunes single, "Oh No"

still cracks me up that Nore's 'persona' for that album was conceived as a cross between Larry Flynt and Jack Nicholson's character from As Good As It Gets. not nearly enough rap albums based on the work of James L. Brooks if you ask me.

Behind the scenes, LONS members Charlie Brown and Busta Rhymes were bickering over who was the real leader of the Leaders. And that didn't bode particularly well for their sophomore album, T.I.M.E. After enjoying modest success with their 1991 debut, A Future Without A Past..., T.I.M.E. was a bizarre, self-produced effort that eventually caused so much tension amongst the group that they broke up on camera during a Yo! MTV Raps interview in 1993.

so basically.. they can't even front on how good the record is in the blurb.

DUNNO WHO THIS CUNT IS BUT ANYBODY WHO HATES ON 187um KILLA IS A FUCKING TIN-EARED CLOWN WHO SHD GET CAPPED

voted Eazy btw

Chris Yuscavage more like Chris Yu Disgusting Savage I Want To Shoot You in the Face

looool

there's a bunch of good to great albums on this list tho from a cursory glance

elec circus is prob one of the least enjoyable albums on the list

don't really fuck with Common. wd def go to bat for the Bone Thugs

this list is p otm

Electric Circus should be top 10 for the sheer size of its fanbase-alienating infamy

might vote for this one on the cover alone

whenever NORE says "I try and chill, and sell more records than Creed" I imagine Billboard obsessive A1 Sh1pl3y jizzing in pants over the lack of genre myopia in that statement. no shots

dude what

he said no shots to be fair

except for the jizz shooting out of my dick in his imagination

hey man nice shot

i've never noticed el ship particularly liking rap referencing other genres

for the record there are a lot of doofs on ilm routinely going "omg a rapper acknowledged the existence of a rock band how fascinating/corny/awesome" and i've never really been one of them

xpost thank you

i wasn't saying it was because OMG ROCK BAND, I'm saying it was because NORE was acknowledging a deep knowledge of how Billboard was working that year beyond the rapper hustle and the ubiquitous boy band machine.

I mean he references Smash Mouth in the same song and wgaf about that

yeah i guess. you still have an weird idea of what makes me jizz, though! i've never posted anything like that to ws2011.

i mean NORE building the concept for an album around a Helen Hunt movie is imo more inherently interesting than dropping a throwaway reference to an acts he probably saw higher on the charts every time he checked to see how his record was doing

28. Eazy-E, It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa (1993)

gtfo of here with this bullshit

i'll stand for electric circus as a glorious mess

"glorious"?? I mean, i paid for that & liked some of it but

i really loved it when i was in full art-rap mode, but i just revisited it last month and smh @ me and smh @ common

we dealing wit this water love: Common featuring Mary J. Blige "Come Close" lyrics poll

read this last night and some of the write ups are pretty suspect

oh totally -- reading it i was like 'why did they not get noz to at least help w/ this one'

especially the one where he calls lauryn hill a bitch

well tbf noz would've done that too

also the big daddy kane write up was incredibly prude

"you still have a weird idea of what makes me jizz!"

the answer is creed

with arms wide open iirc

"especially the one where he calls lauryn hill a bitch

that's really no worse slander than jizzing to nore records though so nobody's getting out of this thread easy
