From a FYE going out of business clearance sale:


Too$hort: Get in where you fit in, blow the whistle, I love the bay, Gettin It.

De La Soul: Timeless: The Singles Collection

MC Lyte: The very best of...

Suicidal Tendencies: " (self titled debut?) , Lights Camera, Revolution

Judas Preist (all the remasterd versions): Screaming for Vengeance, Hell Bent For Leather, British Steel, Turbo

Paul Wall: Get Money, Stay True

Mike Jones: Self Made ( I think this is a mix tape cd and not a "real cd" )

MC Hammer: Platinum MC Hammer ( lolz..all his good stuff on one cd )

********

Listened to the follwoing so far

Both Suicidals:

80's speed metal FTW

Judas Presit: well I had that 2 disc SE w/ their hits on it... more good stuff through these cds though

Too $hort: Man, his cds would be a beast for just instrumentals. I am loving all the Oak town beats But the overuse of "sex rhymes" seem to drag the overall experience down a little. The bass lines on these that I have listened to far really love my sub woofers in the car and at home

Nothing like some Old School Hammer time

The MC Lyte cd is bad ass.... man, I wish more female rappers would do what she did.

only brief tidbits of the the De La Soul cd.... I knew what I'd like so its good...

Mike Jones: sounds like a mix cd... not bad...just not all that IMO

Paul Wall: I like his rhymes and beats.... about the only downside to it s far is again... its all about money, rims, pimpin, and reppin your hood.... granted he does it well.... and I do like it...but he needs to expand his subject matter.

Man... after a full run through of the MC Lyte cd.... wow... awesome beats and rhymes.... about the only song I don't like was Roughneck b/c it seems so out of charachter for her...she should have never tried to be "gangster".


Paul Wall ... I likey...

Well now that Circuit City is going out of business too I grabbed the following from them today:

GangStarr: Greatest Hitz
Wyclef Jean: Carinival Vol. II, Memories of an Immigrant
Three 6 Mafia: When the Smoke Clears . Last 2 Walk
Bone Thugs N Harmony: Greatest Hits (2CD)
QTip: The Renaissance

Is that Gangstarr "Full Clip?" If so, what a mighty fine collection of hits and some rarities. I bought it twice! The first one got stolen.

I just got this today:



Out of print, original pressing, mint condition. oh man oh man.

No, its title is Greatest Hitz...



Lush, someone ganked your Gangstarr? That just isn't right man.... just isn't right.

Oh, I agree...Mecca is pretty unparalleled IMO. Unfortunately I've never been able to find a copy (can't even imagine the prices). But Main Ingredient is a worthy follow up..also a bit more focused in its scope compared to Mecca.

Pete Rock could make some nice beats...but I never really got into PR&CLS for some reason.... I did like " Reminisce Over You" and did enjoy some of his beat skills on others works.

Man.... listening to new Q Tip most of the day today....


WOW.... Amplified was him trying to be "new millennium club rapper" on the "Abstract Poetic" tip. But the problem is Q Tip is not that guy and he can't fake that out that well either. Now I did like a few songs on that cd....but ... its not that great... I even did like the tune W/ Korn on it.

Ok...umm back to Renaissance, this is what Qtip is.... sould/jazz/rock beats w/ intelligent rhymes about hip hop, relationships, and life. Much better effort and relates to his style better.

Wow...found Outkast: Speakerboxxx/The Love Below at CC today...



HOW THE F* did this cd get all the hype it got? It is the worst of all the Outkast cds I have. Granted I think the Speakerboxx/Big Boi side was better than Andre3000's...... but still...this cd is garbage.


Some beats are ok... some rhymes are ok....but this is in no way a classic.

I thought Big Boi's disc was pretty good. I couldn't make it thru Andre's. Although I still get down to Hey Ya whenever I hear it. And yeah, Aquemini is their best.
