eh.. here we go:
Nas - StillmaticI love it. I fucking love this album, I've started listening to Nas with this one and even though alot of people say Illmatic was his best, I think I'd go with this one. It's a masterpiece with great concepts, ill tracks like One Mic, Rewind, Smokin' or What Goes Around, fucking dope beats, kick-ass rhymes and Nas' awesome delivery. For me, it's a classic and I'm sure that in.. 10 years maybe, I will still bump it and it will give me the same chills I get now.
Eminem - The Eminem ShowNo need to say why, I've said it like a million times before.
Talib Kweli - Beautiful Struggle Eh.. Talib is great. I love this album too, I love how emotional the tracks are. I love his flow, his voice, his rhymes and the positive vibe that comes from Never Been In Love and the struggle from Black Girl Pain.
Apathy - Eastern PhilosophyApathy seriously kicks ass with this one. Dope beats and sampling, raw flow and some really good rhymes. Couple of nice concepts, like Chemical for example, which is probably one of my favorite tracks ever.
Jedi Mind Tricks - Servants In Heaven, Kings In HellSick album. For real, I love JMT for this dark and twisted vibe they deliver with this release. Actually, it was kinda hard to choose between their albums, because each one is somehow special and outstadning, but tracks like Uncommon Valor, Put 'Em In The Grave or Shadow Business made it easier for me to choose.
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Mecca & The Soul BrotherClassic. I re-discovered this album this year and holy shit.. Amazing. Beats are mindblowing and Pete's voice and flow make me just wanna listen to it over and over again.. Lot's Of Lovin, Anger In The Nation and TROY > *
Fugees - The ScoreAnother classic. What more can I say? Ready Or Not? Fu-Gee-La? Killing Me Softly? Yes, this album kills me softly every time I give it a listen.. Plus one of my fave lines ever "so while you're imitating Al Capone, i'll be Nina Simone and defecating on your microphone"..
Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly Propz to whoever mentioned it.. I guess it was Jay-19, fucking sick album, high 5 man! It was hard to choose between it and When Life Gives You Lemons.. But I think it's.. I don't know, I just like it better. Maybe it's because of the whole 'god loves ugly' concept which seems kinda funny and twisted to me.. The point is, I like it.
