This record has aged very well - I think I like it more now than when it dropped, and I was plenty into it then. Copped a copy for the shop recently and ended up taking it home, after listening to it over and over again.What are some other records that have aged *well* in hip-hop? So many do not.

we just checked it out again over a 13 hour road trip and we all love it now as much as we did when first came out.
I was in love with both Livin' Like Hustlers and Southernplayalistic... from the moment I heard them.
Heard it, dismissed it, revisited it years later and now think it sounds great and was really prescient:
...at the time I thought it was a total sell-out move.
I remember thinkin this album was wack. Did like the song with OP sample though. I put Da King & I, Zhiggy, Yaggafu Front, Hard 2 Obtain, Van Full of Pakistans, Boogiemonsters in that mediocre 90's rap category.
Yeah... I have a really conflicted opinion of that record still. I don't think the follow-up has aged particularly well... although I'm about to throw on "Reservoir Dogs right now. THAT shit aged well.
How about Goodie Mob-Soul Food
or
OC-Jewelz?
I still don't like Jewelz...
I am saying.
If you weren't feeling Soul Food upon its release, then I just don't know about you.
Agreed--it aged awfully.
Now THIS JEWELZ aged terrific!
"Everybody stay fly get money kill and fuck bitches"
I have a soft spot for that one, and I think it's aged well...
I like it even more now than I did then, which is a lot.
You crazy bastards.
in the "aged poorly" file: mastaAce Slaughtahouse
Fuck -- shit is real right here
Roc-a-Fella, LOX, takin the streets over motherfuckers
Don't get it twisted
Yo, aiyyo, aiyyo, aiyyo
Yo shut the fuck up 'fore I blast and Banned From TV your ass
with no mask, look at the camera like what?
Yeah I did it like them sick white boys the court committed
To the death of me, I'm spaz like I'm on Ecstasy
Drop 100 bars for real like I'm lookin for a deal
If I ain't hungry, who the fuck is, I'm worse than them African kids
I ain't straight til my numbers match the Motorola bid
And walk the streets up in Now Y like I don't fuckin care
If I ain't strapped that means I took em off my Nike Airs
Get off mine, y'all talk shit like little children
when I ride mine like bitches when I walk up in the building
Cause I catch tans in the winter, with wild whores
Jet-skiin, while you keep warm at corner stores
I make it hot, floodin your block, the best way
Professionally, they'll find poison in your X-Ray
As I get roasted lookin at Biggie posted on my wall
Takin shots of Louie til I fall
Nuttin to lose, just load the clip up in the groove
and kick rhymes to the poster, til I swear Big move
My team, you would think was on Thorazine
How we floss and don't give a fuck what it's cost-ing
Yo, yo, pressure bust pipes, it's time to apply it now
Pick out a quiet town and tie it down
Make n*ggas lock it down, y'all know where to buy it now
Beanie Mac I supply it now
My squad roll deep, in foreign cars with two seats
Couple of 5's, a 6, a few Jeeps
Bag enough coke to last a few weeks
In case niggaz wanna test, vest and a few heats
You really wanna test my name? And test my game?
Until you have me, test my aim?
Y'all n*ggas nuts, like testicles
Hit you up in your apartment building vestibule
Perhaps it's best for you, to keep on walkin'
Heat from the Larkin, keep on sparkin'
Platinum prezzie, Bezzie, stay sparklin'
Cop off the lot never see me at the auction
Pint of Bacardi darken, when it's hawkin'
Out on the strip, until I reach the margin
Not tryin to meet the Seargeant, at the precinct
Eatin cheese sandwiches, down for the weekend
Locked up with dirty white boys and Ricans[/b]
Now if I kill you I probably do ten in the box
Come down on appeal then I'm killin your pops
You feelin The LOX, n*gga why you grillin The LOX
If this rap shit don't work n*ggas still in the spot
You bring it to me, I gotta lose your family
Gangstas don't die, they get chubby, and move to Miami
Shit is deep now dog but it gets deeper
Fuck it, the weather's nice and the price is much cheaper
I put it on tape, you gon' buy it, I put it in a bag
you gon' try it, y'all n*ggas can't deny it
Lot of cats still tryin to study my last bounce
Tell you what, get a beat tape and a half ounce
They got me where I can't be without my large gat
Teflon long sleeve, and my hardhat
Don't matter if I'm openin up, or headline
Doin the speed limit or pushin red lines
Six months in the county or fed time
I'ma be the 'Kiss n*gga, until it's bedtime
Anything I'm on is a classic, any n*gga
ever had beef with, son is a bastard
Anytime I spit, spit acid, L.O.X.
Ruff Ryders ya heard? We got the game mastered
You motherfuckers is sick, don't think Sauce the shitSo many n*ggas on my nuts I thought I lost my dick
Picture me fallin off, I'm camera shy
Hammers fly, might miss you, but your man'll die
What's the difference? Either way I'm stunnin your crew
I fuck to win, y'all n*ggas comin to lose
Somethin to prove? Spit it, we can have a sprayoff
I lay off wet n*ggas and kill em on my day off
Ain't nuttin for me to bust a trey off
Murder the whole month of April n*gga, just to take May off
Run with more Germans than Adolf, you light crews
Now I concentrate on your camp, like Jews
Flow hot like a heatwave bitch
Whips fatter than them shits they beat slaves with
I'm a meal stackin n*gga who pull quick, still packin
I don't give a FUCK who you are, so FUCK who you are
I don't care about a pretty bitch, watch or a car
I don't care about your block and whoever you shot
I don't care about your album and whenever it drop
I don't care about your past if I did I woulda asked
I'm too busy lightin 'dro with a whole lotta hash
Far as this rap shit, I'm ten steps ahead of n*ggas
Shootin backwards, just for practice
Ride or die n*gga, hoppin in your casket
Bout to go to hell with you, blow the L with you
Tell the whole world I'm spittin let em know the shells hit you
I tell n*ggas quick, suck dick and get a glock
My name ring bells like Sunday at twelve o'clock
I'm half past seven, bust six then eleven
You know me, slide my man my joint say reload me
I ruffryde and pop a fella for Roc-a-Fella
Jay (what the fuck)[/b] spendin mozzarella
I know pop you can't stand us when we cock them hammers
Run in your crib, no prisoners, pop your grandma
Locked in the slammer? Nope, popped up in Atlanta
Crossed up in a drop I popped up the antenna
Whoa.. watch your manners when my veins pop like scanners
Like raindrops you hear the thunder when I cock the cannon
Big thangs, big chains, ain't shit changed
Get brained in the four dot six Range
Shit main, switch lanes
every town I hit, switch planes, bitch flipped big caine
Flow with no cut, you take it in vein to the brain
Muh'fukas is noddin and throwin up, you know that
You don't wanna owe that man
He'll hit you, get the picture? Kodak man
Got a love for war, I don't floss no more
I just sit on my money til I'm above the law
How the fuck you gonna stop us with your measly asses
We don't stop at the tolls we got EZ passes, n*gga
Multiple cars and divas with D-classes
Iceberg sweat with I.B. on the elastic
Shit, beyotch! What the fuck, ya heard me?
Put some more beat on that joint[/b]
Their first album is MUCH better than that one.
edit: nevermind. found it.
"tearz" on da king and I is a great song, it holds up real well.
intelligent hoodlum's first two have both aged quite well. I still like the kurious album to this day but I'm sure folks will clown on that.
Dude, their first album is junk--Pebbles was trying to turn them into a fakeazz Naughty by Nature. Third album is the best one, with this one being second.
Gawdammn. Jay-z in his prime right here? (I just heard it).
Maybe i should listen to this album...
I just rediscovered that album!
(These choices possibly tainted by nostalgia.)
souls of mischief is pretty much unlistenable...whiny high pitched voices
been listening to rottinrazkals "ah yeah" a lot...dope song, naughty affiliate
That UBC album has been a long time choice of mine,you can't front on a group with a member called "Mike Air"...
