What's wrong with Warren G?!?!?! :mad:


nothing's wrong with him, but how could you think he should even be considered for inclusion in a Top 10 hip hop albums list???

as good as Funcrusher is, I've never thought it was as solid an album beginning to end as other El-P related albums. I certainly enjoy CanOx's COLD VEIN more. And I love his Fantastic Damage album hardcore.

atsonicpark 09.27.2010 11:36 AM

Oh, actually, I love Cold Vein quite a bit, I dunno how I forgot to mention that one..

noisereductions 09.27.2010 11:37 AM

yeah COLD VEIN is must-have. I do like Funcrusher a lot, but I don't find it a strong album (beginning to end) as much as just a pretty good collection of songs.

atsonicpark 09.27.2010 11:46 AM

Oh yeah, I'd put niggamortis by gravediggaz in my top 10 as well, maybe the real # 1 actually.

noisereductions 09.27.2010 11:49 AM

yeah 6 Feet Deep is amazing. That could probably be in my Top 10. It's incredible.

Fair enough.

Toilet & Bowels 09.27.2010 01:35 PM

I love Funcrusher Plus and it's in my top 10 for sure, but can barely keep myself from getting bored listening to Fantastic Damage (aside from Deep Space 9mm, which is excellent), I'd much rather listen to Mr Len's Pity The Fool album, or Big Juss's stuff than EL-P solo.

noisereductions 09.27.2010 01:52 PM

wow really? I'm not really a fan of Len or Jus post-CoFlow.

AND I think FANTASTIC DAMAGE is incredible. I mean "Step Father Factory"??? "Time Out Of Joint"???

sonic sphere 09.27.2010 03:25 PM

o.g. original gangster- ice-t
enter the wu-tang (36 chambers) - wu-tang clan

Forgot about J 5 an honorable mention.

yeah, i mean those songs are obviously made by an intelligent and visionary mind, but i just don't enjoy listening to them.
I just have a hard time with Hiphop that is kind of dirgey.

ah ok. Gotcha. Yeah I guess it is dirgey. That's a good word for it. His post-CoFlow output is really dense, and it's obviously what appeals to people but certainly could scare others away.

All of these are CLASSIC. Nice list pal
The contrast between the first and second De La Soul records is awesome.
I'm also a big fan of Public Enemy's first LP. They didn't have their sound yet, but I just like a less radical Chuck D sometimes.
Anybody including any DJ Screw/S.U.C./Texas Hip Hop? Some of favorite my most stuff.
