Title: The Official Add A 'CLASSIC' Thread
Post by: =[Euthanasia]= on February 13, 2002, 03:09:40 AM
Ok, i've been saving up for some time now to do a hip-hop CD sweep & I want everyone to add some or a few essential
hip-hop classics each that you consider any big hip-hop fan should have in thier collection. I have a very large collection of hip-hop CD's/Viynl's but i'm sure there's some essential classics I don't have and have slept on. It doesn't matter if you name an album/s I already have, I just want to know what y'all would consider an essential. So hit this thread up with some of your choices!

GZA - Beneath The Surface (it's some New York shit but it's polished like Dre would do)

Pete Rock - Soul Survivor (an essential laid back hip hop, brilliant production and magic voice)

Spice 1 - 187 He Wrote, Amerikkka's Nightmare, 1990-Sick and The Black Bossalini (cant get more brutal and explicit, the choice of production is 100% wonderful)

Ghost Dog soundtrack - Nobody noticed it but its a concept album like Bones

Brotha Lynch Hung - Loaded (cannibalistic rhymes laid over smoked out production)

Oh, some OLD... Check KAM "Neva Again"... You wont find more FUNK on any of the rap albums that came out after it. Musically, its so much funk you just choke.
