The struggle with Blue Jay Way up against Dazed & Confused, is a fair concern

Beatles vs Led Zeppelin is the question Elvis vs Pat Boone or Hank Williams or Johnny Cash

Casino is great!!! 5 stars and all that.
Goodfellas is parallel to none. So there's that.

Is Casino just as good as Goodfellas?

Love me some stories about Arizona Ron or having to look deeper because he saw blood up on his sneakers 🫡.
But when you need that dose of real life shit? Devin the Dude & Facemob have always been some of the best to call on.
Who can't relate?

Biggie's the greatest Storyteller of all time, he was just different, a whole movie Just say you don't comprehend

Posse Cuts will always be essential to the culture of hip hop. Not if there's been a solid one in a minute. 3 years or so?
English
Hip Hop was definitely at it's zenith when the posse cut was in the air.

who’s a producer that brings the best out of everyone he works with

I can definitely see this. Both are definitely special records. I'll add "The Message" by GMF & The Furious 5 , " C. R. E. A. M" by the Wu & "I get around" by Pac. That's a solid 5 to round out.

T.R.O.Y. could be rap's greatest song, but what Mind Playing Tricks on Me is runs deeper

@Kil889 Oh nice... Now tell him to pull up the last 6 minutes of game 6.

@80sBank Definitely! Ran a red light t-boned a pick up and the shit was on its side jumped out dizzy asf running but had to go back bcuz my homie was layed out good ole days

If you've been rocking with Kool G Rap for a long time, there's no way you have one favorite song (or maybe you do?) but one thing is for certain, the style and technique he possesses is unearthly. He's elite for a reason.

All my day one Pete Rock fans have to remember around '03 or so when InI & Deda Baby Pa joints came out on BBE, right? The InI is definitely an instant classic but I don't hear too many bring the latter. Maaaan, Deda went in over these PR joints

Things did change and quick.
I always tell anyone if we reach this topic in Hip-Hop conversation that after Big and PAC were ASSASSINATED the entire game shifted.
Guess how fast Jay-Z came up…

Question: Was 1993 truly the last year balance ruled the landscape of hip hop? Not region. But topics and mood, if that makes sense. Once Nas, Biggie and Pac released their albums, the mood and hip Hop, overall, changed.

@coldgettincrums Maaaan, went from playing with her feet on Paper Thin to needing a Ruff Neck 😆

@80sBank Also, earlier... D-Nice. Third Latifah album. Fourth Lyte album.

Definitely understand that's a mindset many (myself included) can fall to. Then I look at the stark differences between these 2 albums and the feel couldn't be more obvious. Hell, look at the cover. And I actually liked the 2nd album from the UMCs. This was a lot of acts by 94
Sully@AlanSileabhin
We probably gotta, at least first or more often, look back at these years as it was at the time and how we felt in the moment. It's revisionist history to lump shit together with factors and legacy or impact that was yet to exist.
English
@OJ1974 Right?! Dark scale images were definitely in style during this period
English
@80sBank the jump from 'cheesy' to
rugged was a bit harsh
but both albums got jams.

@MBEmpower Oh man I know that had to be legendary shit for real
English
@80sBank I been going to Roots concerts since like 97/98 and every show is different every damn show. Thought don't get enough credit for his stage presence, the freestyles he be cutting on the spot.
Too bad you didn't get to see them in Picnic Series they used to do in Philly

Not paying for Twitter usually means when I post Kool G Rap verses, I have to cut it off around the 2:20 mark 😭😂😂😭. I swear the brotha is another form of species.
Peace to my OG L.O, a Queens native. The G Rap appreciation dedicated to you big bro!

@MBEmpower Facts! I remember I saw the Roots live in OKC and Thought went into G Rap flow and cover for like 3 songs. Crazy

@80sBank G Rap is my favorite emcee's favorite emcee
Black Thought.
No other emcee could write lyrics like G Rap and even mimic his flow and style other than Thought.
