1998 nat as bad a year as it seemed
« on: September 12, 2002, 08:36:54 AM »
In '98 people seemed to recover from 'Pac and Biggie's deaths. It seemed at the time that hip-hop was at an all time low. (I think 2002 is right now, but Scarface's album which I just got is helping change my mind alittle) But when doing my top 10, I remember this really good CDs, and plus a little bit more, and it wasn't as bad as it seems. Here was my top 10, and I don't think it was that bad.

1. Outkast - Aquemini  
2. DMX - Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood
3. D.J. Quik - Rhythm-Al-Ism
4. Gangstarr - Moment of Truth
5. Xzibit - 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz
6. DMX - It's Dark and Hell is Hot
7. Daz Dillinger - Retaliation Revenge & Get Back  
8. WC - The Shadiest One
9. Big Pun - Capital Punishment
10. Ras Kass - Rasassination

See. People talk on '98, but in reality, many albums were mad sleeped on.

There's always those albums that are diamonds in the rough, so to speak. Hip-hop isn't in such a bad state, it's just 90% of the stuff thats in the mainstream isn't on par to what was in the mainstream during those times, like '96 for instance.

I think that if you take one of the 'O's' out of 'Good' it's 'God', if you add a 'D' to 'Evil' it's the 'Devil'. I think some cool motherfucker sat down a long time ago and said 'let's figure out a way to control motherfuckers'.

Very true. Most of those were some tight albums. A couple classics as well.
