Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on September 16, 2004, 02:42:30 PM: 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.

Post by: conor48 on September 16, 2004, 02:55:55 PM: 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

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.

Post by: conor48 on September 17, 2004, 04:34:02 AM: What about the Lost & Found Underground Classics album?
Title: Re: Pete Rock's best solo album?
Post by: Leggy Hendrix on September 17, 2004, 04:37:40 AM: thats dope too...the InI - Center of Attention album is classic PR, the Deda - The Original Baby Pa isnt as good, but still tite...

Post by: Don Seer on September 17, 2004, 04:46:09 AM: 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

Post by: white Boy on September 17, 2004, 10:10:02 AM: damn i need to get these!
Title: Re: Pete Rock's best solo album?
Post by: jeromechickenbone on September 17, 2004, 10:24:44 AM: 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.

Post by: conor48 on September 18, 2004, 08:45:01 AM: I ended up buying The Main Ingredient and Soul Survivor I - I was looking for the Underground Classics album too but they didnt have it-Thanks for your opinions
