Slept On Albums [Archive]

The Raging Bull

10-25-2009, 04:26 PM

There's always those albums that you think are really good but seem to have slipped under the radar or are severely under-rated by the masses. Name all your 'slept on' albums! They aren't necessarily classics but albums that caught a lot of hate or were merely not talked about! We need this lounge to pick up again :)

I'll kick it off:

Stereotype - Blitz
*****z 4 Life - NWA
From Where??? - Mad Skillz
Disposable Arts - Masta Ace
American Hunger - MF Grimm
Shades of Grey - Braille
Poison Pen - Chino XL
The Gathering - Living Legends
Escape From Monsta Island - Monsta Island Czars

I love Doc's Da Name. Red always gives you a lengthy album with plenty of good music and funny ass skits.

I remember buying it the day it dropped way back when. It has since been stolen, but I really liked the album and hardly ever see it get any love.

"Money talk, bull**** walk, ask Kris
The baptist, roll Garcia's with hashish
You need classes for practice to tap this
Jurassic crab shaft nasty ass *****"

just an entertaining album.

Ofcourse it has the joint with Busta which was theme song to NBA2k1 with Iverson on the cover. Which I had on Dreamcast which just brings me back to all the classic games I had with friends and family members.

No doubt about it baby, I got what you desire
I coulda had way more hose than firefighters

Word.

YES YES YES
love both those albums
and ET is one of my favorite tracks of all time because of how far One Be Lo takes the idea of an alien chick. he is more committed to his topic than most rappers are ever committed to anything. "we headed back to her planet. out of this world, man, you couldn't understand it". love it...
and i rep O.C. SUPER HARD for that album. love Word...Life . definitely one of the most slept on ever. no doubt.
