Gold Mac, i don't know why, but whenever i think, Gangstarr, i think, Ex Girl To The Next Girl. i wouldn't necessarily say that it is my favorite of theirs, because i don't think i can even decide what that would be, but it is definitely an extremely accurate embodiment.
When i first heard Moment of Truth it was the only album that i banged for a substantial period of time. start to finish, straight Gangstarr 24/7.

I mean I don't know if its a classic or anything.
But if you like Gangstarr, you'll enjoy it.
Gift of Gab 01-31-2009, 01:43 AM ill look out for it

i think it's pretty much impossible to love hip hop and not enjoy a Premo production. i would say that's just a general rule...

Meg,
How does a new Nas album produced by Premo and pete rock sound?
thats what I want...

Peace man. good talking to you too.

it would be wicked crazy. thats hip hop royalty coming together if it happened. Illmatic was such a master piece. I was going through it the other day in my car, thats the best rap album I've heard.

i feel like Nas did a very smart thing in making it so short
it is always in every discussion of the best hip hop album ever made but very few take into consideration how short it is.
im not bashing it, i love it. top to bottom it is a masterpiece. but he didn't really give himself much room to **** up because there are only 10 tracks. it was a very smart move.

lol. what if i made an album called Truthmatic with three songs!! its classic!!!!!!!!!!
critic 1: dude it has three songs!! how can you **** that up!!! lol
Your right though. But thats why rappers should shorten their albums. I'll take a classic 10 over a mediocre 20 anyday.
whats your greatest album all time, by the way?

i completely agree
quality over quantity baby
that's why i struggle with Cormega. he drops such hot material but i find myself skipping tracks so it gets boring. like you coulda left that one out...and that one...and that one...
that's just a personal opinion though of course.
my greatest of all time?
damnnnn i don't know. i hate these definitive questions.
its between Illmatic and Wu's 36 Chambers probably.
but there are so many others that are strong contenders. like Outkast's ATLiens and Aquemini. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Blu & Exile's Below The Heavens (if this came out enough time ago it would be my GOAT probably because then it would also have the longevity factor), Pete Rock n CL's Main Ingredient...De La Soul Is Dead...i could go on and on. i can never decide.

Its tough to pick these kind of things, I kow what you mean.

i don't even want to pick though
i love it all
and i always feel like i could change my mind with just ONE MORE LISTEN
you know?

oh yeah. Illmatic is your greatest, put that 36 chamberz on and bam!!!!!
dammmmn!!!
mannn
slammm!!!
bring the ruckus wu-tang clan ain't nothin to **** wit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry, i'm kind of overly tired at this point. its 2 am here and i worked tonight too.lol
but the point is listening to something different can change opinions when you think your opinion is set...

yeah i really know i love 36 Chambers because when i try to pick my favorite songs off of it it's really hard.
like the other day i was making a "best of" type mix of Wu Tang tracks for my boy Steve on his birthday (same dude who pours out liquor and wears wallabees) and i noticed that i put like over half of 36 Chambers on the CD. i was like k, you have to take some out to make room for other sick Wu bangers...but i couldn't pick...haha that's when i knew
its crazy though because no one really ever mentions it in their GOATs.

its all a conspiracy!!!!!!!!!:bigeyes: :crazy:
sorry once again the overly tired thing.
Yeah I agree with you that it should be put in with the greatest albums of all time. Wu-tang is what hip hop is all about, their creativity, flows, word play, energy...I could keep going.
its funny i made a wu-tang mix for a friend recently and had the same problem. i had like basically all of 36 on there....I was like wait a minute, theres only 80 mins on a disc. lol

haha EXACTLY!
it's really hard to do!
i needed some MP3 action up in that ***** because i seriously couldn't consolidate.
that happens to me a lot though when i make mixes. i pick too many tracks that i view as being ESSENTIAL to the mix and end up having to make 2 CDs.
Truth 01-31-2009, 03:05 AM Yup me too. Sometimes even a 3 disc mix, then its ruined. lol
