i'm still listening to the first puba solo record.

sincerely,
oldie olderson

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 16:41 (twenty years ago) link

for some reason i never copped any solo puba even tho i ws always mad dudes didnt put him on more, dude only had like three or four verses on one for all!!

― $$, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

but search R U READY!!!

― $$, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 16:46 (twenty years ago) link

haha man now i wish id brought the one for all to work instead of this three good songs abominition- 'i swing a beat and hit a note like i was david ruffin'!! or whatever

― $$, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 16:48 (twenty years ago) link

toast an mc like he's an english muffin!

i like the first puba solo lp a lot, I thought he was going to be huge

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

did you ever hear the song w sadat on born again?? probably the best album track on tha, big and x fucking murder it

― $$, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

the only br solo i ever copped ws a tape of sadats wild cowboys that i did really love but kinda got tired of fast, the lump lump remix w puba is still amazing tho

― $$, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:20 (twenty years ago) link

ahhh Puba - yeah it's a shame he seemed to fall through the cracks. His solo stuff is kinda spotty - never heard the BR reunion album tho. Is it worth gettin?

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

BR = BN. duh.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

haha why the fuck have i been calling them br this whole thread!! it does feel more right than bn which is kinda gross sounding

― $$, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:27 (twenty years ago) link

and no to be honest the album isnt v good really

― $$, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:28 (twenty years ago) link

Don't let it go to yr head, no.

― djdee2005, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 20:10 (twenty years ago) link

haha dude you have to admit after the neptunes blew up it ws kinda weird to go back and listen to it!!

― $$, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 20:11 (twenty years ago) link

one year passes...

Nah I think this was pretty great. I'm surprised ethan was so down on it.

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:01 (eighteen years ago) link

my best friend has an interlude/beat on the new sadat album

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:38 (eighteen years ago) link

four years pass...

is this the only brand nubian thread on ilx? THAT'S UNPOSSIBLE!!

six months pass...

The other hip hop thread led me to the Source's 1998 list of greatest rap singles, and thence to Spotify & YouTube to check out the ones I hadn't heard before. Biggest surprise was this Brand Nubian song - great use of a potentially corny sample. I've never got around to buying One for All but clearly I should.

One For All is fantastic! basically has one bad song on it iirc, the rest is k-lassic

― Moshy Star (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 28 July 2010 17:59 (thirteen years ago) link

I love finding great early 90s hip hop albums that I missed at the time - Main Source, Son of Bazerk and Organized Konfusion's debut being three fantastic examples.

the thread for lost late 80s/early 90s hip hop gems

― Moshy Star (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 28 July 2010 18:11 (thirteen years ago) link

OK, I'm there.

sadat x has made a bunch of solo stuff that I totally love, especially "black october" (the one right before he went to jail)

― gross rainbow of haerosmith (underrated aerosmith albums I have loved), Wednesday, 28 July 2010 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link

Puba has, too. His 1st solo album has some good stuff. One of my favorite mc's.

― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 28 July 2010 19:06 (thirteen years ago) link

but my ability to enjoy a lot of brand nubian stuff is hampered by how I'll be nodding along and then have to sort of forced-smile through several couplets' worth of homophobic weirdness

― gross rainbow of haerosmith (underrated aerosmith albums I have loved), Wednesday, 28 July 2010 19:07 (thirteen years ago) link

sadat x is in jail?

― Moshy Star (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 28 July 2010 19:09 (thirteen years ago) link

he did a short bid and got out

― gross rainbow of haerosmith (underrated aerosmith albums I have loved), Wednesday, 28 July 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link

love this jam

such a fantastic voice

― Moshy Star (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 28 July 2010 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link

one month passes...

anyone got an opinion on Puba's album from last year, Retroactive...?

― Dr. Lol Evans (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 17 September 2010 21:42 (thirteen years ago) link

eleven years pass...

All for One is such a masterpiece of classic era hip hop production

Grand Puba - 2000 has some great moments as well

― Agnes, Agatha, Germaine and Jack (Willl), Saturday, 15 January 2022 17:34 (two years ago) link

Reel to Reel has a lot of good stuff too

― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 15 January 2022 17:58 (two years ago) link

one year passes...

This is kinda curious, a 47-track compilation of instrumental versions has appeared on streaming services, with no obvious provenance. Certainly helps with the problematic lyrics of the past, but I wonder where this has come from, publishers maybe, looking for syncs?

were they the most consistently homophobic hiphop group of all time?
