Pete Rock's best solo album?

[conor48]

I just got into him pretty recently after listening to Mecca & The Soul Brother-whats his best solo album?

[Bramsterdam (see ya)]

Not sure for solo album....

my favourite album with him though is Pete Rock & C.L.Smooth - the main ingredient, thats bangin.

[Lincoln]

Soul Survivor.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

The first Soul Survivor is the better of his two solo albums, but to be honest, just pick up anything with Pete Rock's name on it, can't really go wrong with anything he's released.

Yeah I have to pick up The Main Ingredient too-I wasnt sure which was better-Soul Survivor 1 or 2-rapreviews.com gave 1, 9/10 the 2nd one 8.5/10

[Bramsterdam (see ya)]

Get the Main Ingredient, but like waitin for the dj said, cant go wrong with any of his work

Would yall say The Main Ingredient>>>>Mecca and the Sould Brother?

I've heard it argued both ways, but i'd have to go with Mecca. When T.R.O.Y. dropped that was it for me.

yup, Mecca for me too...both seriously dope albums tho...Soul Survivor is his best solo imo...

What about the Lost & Found Underground Classics album?

[Leggy Hendrix]

thats dope too...the InI - Center of Attention album is classic PR, the Deda - The Original Baby Pa isnt as good, but still tite...

[Don Seer]

i got no idea...

his true "solo" albums are just the soul survivor things, and the BBE cd..

the stuff with CL is the best out of the lot..  i'd go for Mecca over everything else.
2nd place is Main Ingredient,
3rd place INI
4th place the pete+cl "rare tracks" cd (this isnt the same as the 2cd thing, its lots of mecca/main ingredient b-sides remixes)  i had to get mine from japan

[conor48]

Ill probably end up getting them all in he end-I think Ill get The Main Ingredient next though

[Kill]

1. Mecca & The Soul Brother 
2. The Main Ingredient
3. Soul Survivor 

then the rest

[white Boy]

damn i need to get these!

[jeromechickenbone]

InI - Center of Attention is a great album. I suggest yall buy the underground soul classics if you want vintage pete rock.  I've listened to Deda just a little bit, but just because i'm not done with InI.  I think Deda's will be great production wise, but i've yet to form an opinion on his rhyming. I guess if Pete fucks with him, he's gotta have something though.
