"Ill Street Blues" is pretty masterful.

Yeah Ghostface was my first thought. Maxine's even better than Shakey Dog imo. So cinematic. Love the way he moves so fast and adopts the different voices like someone who's been given five minutes to pitch a screenplay and doesn't want to leave out a single detail.

Suede - the fabric, not the band (DL), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 13:16 (twelve years ago) link

"Nobody Move" by Eazy E made a huge impression on me when it came out. I still know all the lyrics.

Kool Keith's "Weapon World" as a standout from the album.

Playoff Starts Here (san lazaro), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link

that album's the pinnacle of Prince Paul's career imho

Everything that's been posted so far is awesome, wow, hadn't heard any of these before except Knuckleheadz. "On The Run" approaches epic status.

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 19:27 (twelve years ago) link

that whole album is dope

Artful Dodderer (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago) link

"On the Run" is like a Sopranos episode. I like how G Rap, unlike a lot of other rappers, always seems to have an "old lady" to stick by his side.
