Why is it none of y'all who claim y'all know hip hop NEVER talk about Diamond District's In The Ruff??!
Tag whoever. That's what I'm talking about... spend damn near 10 years talking about the same cats from the 90s while great albums like this exist.
I love Cannibal Ox BUT Armand Hammer just added on to the level that the kings were at and just knocked it out the park. Like real talk I play their music when I need that spark.. shrapknel also...
Not all but most of the emcees on this app have no physicals for the fans to put their hands on..
That's a big problem. And it's crazy y'all don't see it. Streaming is cool but you need physical product. I can't stress it enough
So are there any hip hop albums that came out after the 90s that y'all would consider to be one of the "Top 5" Rap Albums of all time?
Hell let's just say top 10...
Go and support, buying physicals and son chooses not to send...it's been like 6 months... I ask about them and you play tough.. im going to take it as a loss...
Trust the process I'll be at your live show... this is where it gets fun.
I challenge all the folks that love this culture of hip-hop to post positive images and videos of Keith Murray. Get him trending by putting positive images out there.
Underground rappers Keep the tough talk at a minimum when your hand skills is trash. You have no security at these shows. I'm the fan that would ask for a pic then knock your head off your shoulders with the left.. over you acting tough on Twitter.

It was just all the way corny. Unfortunate... I felt like PAC even at that time had so much more potential creatively. Prolific, yes but that Death Row time was prime time wasted. My opinion...
Cashmere P is one of the illest. He writes at a high level. He is one of them cats where dudes would bite his style and not give him his due.
Pure poetry. Soon the world will see and feel his greatness.
There was a time when everything 9th Wonder produced was golden. 03 - 09 his beats were food for the soul. The early Justus League music kinda put rap where it needed to be.
Supreme Clientele Ghostface gets style jacked the most. You want to know what's funny.. I don't even consider Action one of those. Those that know... know...
With all this diss track hoopla...I have not listened to one track in its entirety. Been playing Cavalier's Different Type Time and buying physical copies of joints I missed. Spending bread on ALD New Balances & planning for this trip to Panama.
With all due respect to the OGs it's young cats out here really pushing the culture forward and need the support. Older heads have like 30 thousand followers and still will not tweet about new fresh talent. Quick to tweet news from 1996 and 1988.. smfh.
Damn it's crazy how folks want Andre to do what they want him to do. It's obvious that he had some issues. Why can't we just be happy that he is healthy and making some kind of music again? Just respect the art..
Like Bub Rock and Cashmere P... Hus Kingpin, Mach... Oddisee.... Planet Asia, TRISTATE...Blu.. Von Pea... Cavalier and a few others is who I tap in with when I need that "classic feel" without sounding like bitters and carbon copies.. it's hard to explain but y'all get..
It's soooo many biters in rap. I'm talking words, flows and even down to the clothes. It's crazy.
Cashmere P once said "trying to xerox on how my sprit rocks". It's done with no shame too. With no add on....

We talking skill set ... he is not fucking with Dilla. JayDee got too many chambers. And if he heard them 02 03 beat tapes that was floating around this would be a discussion.
Time to start putting the spotlight on Blu's discography after Below the Heavens. So many joints! Dude has classics. His pen is up there with the greats. Excluding NOBODY...
What's funny is most of you all consider the same albums to be classics. That's some group thinking 😂. And y'all have the same "favorite" rappers ... y'all bugged out.
I'm going to be honest.. I don't really play a lot of Nas and Jay Z music as much as I used to. When Jay Electronica, Lupe and Blu hit the streets they kinda had me locked in. The past 10-12 years for me Planet Asia has had it on lock also....
What's funny is y'all play Drake around women...
When I slide out I'm playing Hus Kingpin's Threesome series...
The art is different it's no excuse. Either you have taste or you don't.

I just don't understand how one can't hear how dope De La Soul is ?? I'm a lyrics first type of cat... the pen game of them brothers is just so gold to me. Still catching line from De La Soul is Dead...

No cheating - your Quietus style Bakers Dozen. 13 albums (off the top of your head) to know you by. Not looking for a perfect list, looking for a list that you instantly regret posting because you then remember something else.
Do y'all be really listening to Hus Kingpin?? I see folks rock with sun but i rarely see folks quoting his lyrics. Dude be spitting at a high level.

As a Nas fan I have to disagree. Cats really need to go back and thoroughly listen to the Jays project. I can see why folks like Hit and Nas joint better but in the era of saving the babies.... Nas is second. Peace to all tho.
