I was listening to this the other day:
And it occurred to me that I have probably listened to that more than any other rap album. I was kinda surprised, to be honest. When that came out, I listened to that and Common's "Resurrection" back to back in their entirety every day for at least three months. Just over and over....But I listened to "Resurrection" again a few weeks ago and--while it's still great [not really up for discussion here] and I still enjoyed it--it didn't leave me wanting to listen to it again any time soon. That's true for lots of albums I've played hundreds of times. Maybe I've just burned out on them. But I never got tired of that Beatnuts.I think that becoming a DJ has also severely restricted my "full album appreciation." Years ago, I started looking for the song I'd play out. That also coincided with what many have argued was a fall-off in overall album quality, but that's debatable and not really Jermaine to this Jackson.So, Strutters, which rap album have you listened to the most times in your life?

haven't listened to any of these but ATLiens in a minute.
plus beatnuts, krs, wu, brand nubian...
HAHA! To quote Faux, are you creamy, spy?
I miss that shit and it's sad to think it would be near impossible to replicate those experiences at this point.
We need a "growing old" graemlin. Isn't that a song on ATLiens?
