I actually think it is as essential... very different sound, equally as good, really solid LP I would never get rid of. Becky needs all three joints for a well rounded collection?
Just solid hip-hop needed for a well rounded collection.
LAUREN HILL - Miseducation...
Your kidding with this one right?? I mean..classic or essential it is definitely NOT. I'm all for later era shit..but Lauren Hill??
Maybe Mc Lyte and J.J. Fad just for starters. I love how you diss on all these other ''essential'' classics and come back MFKing Lauren Hill.
Kinda puttin the cart before the horse there.
However, I agree with you to some extent on the Das Efx tip and Company Flow may be crucial to some but indeed not really essential.
I still think Digable is in the top 25
and ATliens YES!!! All day.
Digable Planets LPs are terds!!! I SAID IT...WHAT!?! can't stand 90% of those songs. "9th Wonder" is about all i can stomach anymore. The slowed down "Soul Pride" drums are
Sorry Alice I have to admit I did not read the first page of this thread.
Me neither. I personally don't fuck with FF like that but it has to be a classic on some level to inspire the passion of Blowed fans like Archaic and the like.
Creepin on Ah Come Up and E1999 are both pretty good.
Ten rap albums i think everyone should own - avoiding totally obvious illmatic/lowendtheory shit but not getting all obscurantist either. And also uhh this is off the top, not a top ten for all time type thing.

Yeah I think it is a good record. I don't ever find myself wanting to listen to it but I think it is important to be noted

Yes.
Let's move on.
Freestyle Fellowship - To Whom It May Concern...
YEAH I SAID IT!
MC LYTE yes
JJ FAD..................your kidding right.
I'm not dissing, I'm making a distinction.
We can disagree on LHILL, but the album did alot.
I mentioned this in my first post on this topic, I was suprised nobody noticed or said anything yet.
Me neither. I personally don't fuck with FF like that but it has to be a classic on some level to inspire the passion of Blowed fans like Archaic and the like.
Thats cool. Im not dissing either. Im not refering to Supersonic though, rather the LP and the many b-sides that people seem to sleep on.
