Let's put a spotlight on that last one. A few buddies and I were looking around walmart or some kind of bargin store when we stumbled on a bunch of CD's worth about two to five dollars a piece, around 2003. Might have actually been a circuit city or something, I think they were around back then. I remember we grabbed this CD thinking *Wow, what a clown* from the cover picture, coz back in those days that's how we determined if music was worth buying or not.

Some black guy with magic lightning bolt powers, we were all definitely thinking what the *cruiser*? But hey, when you're young you're down to take risks so risks we beheld and bought this disk, as downloading full albums on dialup would take days; only the 10-20 dollar CD's were worth risky but free discounts..


We skipped to track 4 or something (featured ABOVE) and then realized we had just group purchased one of the hardest CDs to ever grace the world. Later on I found out this guy is Snoop Doggs uncle.

I think people who listen to Death Metal would even enjoy that track! the 8 beats looped together for symphony, power and death... yum. the 10-20$ cd we bought sucked balls too, we couldn't believe we actually found a bargain worth paying for in the bargain bin.

Here's a related pic posted on facebook a few minutes ago:



To say that I've evolved there's only one "I" in "defying odds"
Small time arrogance parishes everytime in giant pride
Who ya'll respect is probably cross-dressing
Your favorite MC could probably find themself vibing to my lost sections
I'm legendary

[adrenaline]

ah ya... agree with a few...

Liquid Swords was amazing
E.1999 Eternal was amazing


but I liked Bobby Digital in Stereo more than Birth of a Prince... but it's a good album also...

I'd also include:

Fear Itself - Casual
'93 til Infinity - Souls of Mischief
Aquemini - Outkast
The Grand Opening - Planet Asia
The Self Science - Self Scientific
Dr. Octogonecologyst - Kool Keith
The Mouse and the Mask - Danger Doom
Demon Days - Gorillaz

still so many i am forgetting...

[par73]

nice to see you had 36 chambers and moment of truth in there, absolute classics

[adrenaline]

i grew up on that shit. i'd almost always be listening to gang starr when skating or snowboarding... smooth beats and great flow... so easy to get into a good groove listening to that.

[augustkamppur]

I used to listen to Prodigy on my minidisc player (LOL) when I went snowboarding! Minidisc player in 1 pocket and 4-5 joints in another. Boy were those days fun and unproductive.

[adrenaline]

haha i could see getting baked and listening to prodigy being good for your flow

and ya... a pocket full of joints was always a given when i went riding first ride up the gondola was always a hotbox for us... the rest of the day was a blur.
