<< < (6/8) > >>

Kill:
There's really alot. If you wanna hear some older shit you could try Public Enemy, EPMD or Run DMC.

Then there's several classic Wu-Tang solo releases, especially Liquid Swordz by GZA, Tical by Method Man and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx by Raekwon

I think the Roots haven't been mentioned yet either

Also check out the Rawkus Soundbombing compilations, especially Pt. 2. There are several tight artists on it, like Pharoahe Monch, Mos Def or Company Flow. Btw, you might also check out Def Jux releases, I ain't into that type of hiphop too much but they got dope artists like Mr. Lif and El-P

Then there's the classic mid-90's Queens albums, Illmatic by Nas, The War Report by C'N'N and The Infamous (how come this hasn't been mentioned yet) and Hell On Earth by Mobb Deep

Don Seer:
i'mma drop a Lil 'Intelligent Hoodlum' on his  ass too.. aka 'Tragedy the Intelligent Hoodlum' aka 'Tragedy Khadafi' (not related to the outlaw afaik).

he's a pre-nas QB rapper that Nas sounds a lot like.... album was produced mainly by Marley Marl and Large Professor dropped a few remix's and i believe a cuts on his second album.

1st album was 1990 just called... Intelligent Hoodlum
2nd album was under the extended name 'Tragedy the Intelligent Hoodlum' and was called 'Tragedy Saga Of A Hoodlum'
3rd album was 'Thug Matrix' a rough  collection from around 1999-2000

droppin the single 'Grand Groove' and the remix of it from the 2nd album on him :))


--- Quote ---The Intelligent Hoodlum, born Percy Chapman, debuted in 1989 on Marley Marl's In Control Vol. 1. With a self-titled album, Intelligent Hoodlum's rhymes reflect his experience on lockdown: He served 20 months on Rikers Island in 1988 for robbery. While incarcerated, Chapman studied African-American culture and the Nation of Islam. Produced by Marley Marl, Hoodlum's debut brims with frustration at the struggles facing black men in America. A follow-up, Tragedy: Saga of a Hoodlum, came out in 1993. He then went underground, only to resurface with fellow Queens natives Capone 'N' Noreaga. Calling himself Khadafi, the former Juice Crew All Star put out the underground hits "LA, LA" and "TONY" with CNN, before going for delf again with his Iron Sheiks EP.
