<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Relaxer:<BR><B>The Chronic was a big album, and I can see the argument for it being in the top ten. Doggystyle... eh, it launched a career and is a fun album, but I see it in the same way as I see Nelly. Fun, very popular, but kinda disposal. <P>Cypress Hill would be better remembered if they'd been consistent, but they kept changing their sound. Not that it's a bad thing, but you can only cross over into metal and then back so many times. I think "Black Sunday" is superior to the debut, but I wouldn't put it in the top 25. <P>"Fear of a Black Planet" was 1990, and I'd argue that whatever the timing, it was better than "Nation of Millions". Millions was a breakthrough in terms of the sound and a new direction for hip-hop, but FOABP is where that sound matured. <P>If Wu Tang's "Forever" had been a single disc, it would be one of the best rap albums ever. As it is, half of it is unbelievable tracks like Reunited, Triumph and For Heaven's Sake, and half of it is Dog Shit and Duck Seazon. <P>Yes, I am a nerd.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>No love for Dog Shit? I think thats ODB at his best..lol.. "Forever" did have some filler stuff, but when those guys were on, they were the shit.<P>"Doggystyle", "Cypress Hill", and "Black Sunday" all have with withstood the sands of time for me. They still get rotation in my car. "Temples of Boom" from Cypress was also a great album.<P>I wish P.E. would have been lasted longer. The Apocolypse 91' album was good, but they just dropped big time after that. Mainly due to acts like Dre, Snoop, and Cypress bringing the rough G'd out image of L.A.<P>I saw you mention Gangstarr earlier. They are playing the club on the 26th. Should be a good show.<P>[This message has been edited by JRM (edited 02-12-2003).]<p>[This message has been edited by JRM (edited 02-12-2003).]
