[crithit5000]

Deltron 3030AD is a great album by Del, Dan the Automator, and Kid Koala. It's worth it just for the opening track alone.

Other than that, I've been listening to Ice Cube's Predator lately. Good energy, beats, and goddamn...Ice Cube was angry then.

Old Dirty Bastard - Return to 36 Chambers

If you didn't say it I would have. By far my all time favorite album. Up there with Gravedigggas Six Feet Deep

SOUTH SIER FOR LIER

I used to listen to East Coast, then to West Coast, now I stricktly listen to South Side.

Let me break it down for ya.
East coast is not musical, just a sample with a boring beat. Lyrics are always abstract: "my flows like the nile" metafors.....

West coast is very musical, only the beats are still quite boring. Lyrics are OK.

South Side is da shit, nearly never use sampled loops, very musical, and I absolutly love that dirty south slang. Current favorites:

Lil Boosie - Bad Azz
Lil Boosie & Lava House - UNITED WE STAND...DIVIDED WE FALL
Lil Boosie & Webbie - Gangsta musik
Webbie - Savage Life

Three-6-mafia
Concentration Camp (C-Loc, Young Bleed, Boosie)

Used to listen to Hotboys alot, now I listen to em less.

I recently Sold my original Company Flow Funcrusher double vinyl see through album for 30 EURO's
I never listen to East Coast anymore. I would ike to give most respect to Boot Camp Click (Black Moon), Ultra Magnetic Mc's, DJ Premier though

No, I'm not down.

Word...

[theevilfunkster]

Where should I start with Jurassic 5 albums? I saw the at the Leeds Festival last year and they were really fuckin amazing, way better than the shit that was fiddy Cent.

As for favorite Rap-Hip Hop Albums, I only have Snoops Doggystyle and De La Souls best of so I couldnt possibly say.

Ironically I think 50 Cent IS the best mc at the mo. But he has that south side slang due to being shot in da mouf. He reminds me of Young Bleed.

Young Bleed is also in my top ten of best mc's along with Devin, Eightball

Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly
Atmosphere - Seven's Travels
Skrapz - The 12 Step Program

The first proper album (called LP) is by far their best, although they were probably playing some new stuff when you saw them
