HarveyCanal said:I don't like many albums, no matter how good, that I wind up hearing 5 million times. Yes, being a populist, especially as a dj, has its merits. But I always thought this site was more about that RAER. I see your point…

HarveyCanal said: What used to be a certain understanding and appreciation of Off the Wall has over the years given way to unnerving visions of bad dancing by cheesy white girls. So the reason you don't like 'Off the Wall' anymore is becau…

HarveyCanal said:Oh shit, probably the greatest rap album ever! Agreed! This one's timeless.

I think we can all agree on this monster. It's spot in the Top 20 is well deserved (it could even be higher, but we'll see what remains ahead of it.) My favorite track is "Lovin' Man":

Great record from start to finish. "Past, Present and Future" is still hard as coffin nails. Demon Fuzz - 01 Past, present and future - afrofunkamelick from afrofunkamelick on Vimeo.

crabmongerfunk said: that ahmad jamal sample is brilliant. firstly, it's such an odd, obscure thing to have sampled (2 bars of a very long, florid piano solo) and it was cut and looped in a way that was ultra creative. more importantly, the piano …

Too low! Top 10 for me. All killer, no filler. Nas at his very best, and Pete Rock, Premier, Extra P, and Q-Tip all at the height of their powers delivering golden beat after golden beat. It was like all creative forces involved were in a contest…

This is a record I'll never part with. Such a great vibe from start to finish.

YES. The Mizell Brothers are my heroes! You can't really go wrong with any of the Mizell/Byrd records from this period, but this and 'Stepping Into Tomorrow' are particularly special. Byrd and Fonce Mizell are alive and well in my crates!

Oh, and this sample, which was finally revealed only a few years ago:

james said:I mean, really--which sounds more like a white music nerd trying to get cool points in 2013: "DJ Shadow is the king of crate-digging, man! Best that ever did it! Endtroducing is a masterpiece!" or "Pfft--fuck DJ Shado…

I keep reading it "hasn't aged well" on here. What do you mean? Did you overplay it (like I did) way back then, so it sounds stale now? Is it all the Shadow fanboy love that still exists to this day (particularly from fans who otherwise have tas…

Like so many others, this album was massively important to me. I'd never heard sample-based music made this way before; the blueprint was hip-hop, but its style sprawled out in so many different directions. Dude sampled everything from Third Guita…

Dante said::ehhx2: i was born in 1990, so MJ (and Thriller) wasn't my gateway to a world of music, it was that weird dude who used to be black and now sleeps with children. Ah, Generation Y. "I weep for the future."

It's not that "The Girl is Mine" is a bad song, it just really sticks out as the album's weakest point. Doesn't belong. I read somewhere that "Carousel" was left off in favor of "Human Nature." Makes perfect sense to me!

Nice sleeper pick! This is one of my favorite records to listen to late at night. If I only had the choice to drop the needle on one song though, it would be this:
