Whats up yall. I'm just listening to Ras Kass's Soul On Ice album... and I just have to say, this has to be one of the best hip hop albums of all time, seriously. Post up your favorite albums that no one (not enough at least) knows about. Ras Kass - SOUL ON ICE [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSs8CJE7Ds]Ras Kass - Soul on Ice (Full Album) (1996) - YouTube[/ame] Listen to this stuff man, this is so incredibly unbeleivably intelligent. Ras Kass is such a confident, intelligent, and wise MC. His rhyme style/flow/delivery is great, and his lyrics/what he says in his songs, the picture he paints are so vivid. He says so much to take you through the entire cycle of ups and downs of life... and he drops SO much knowledge.And all the while with HELLA tight style. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_8DiMV13oo]Marinatin - Ras Kass - YouTube[/ame] [[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LyGLIEkz2Q[/ame] Also - Ceelo - CEE LO GREEN AND HIS IMPERFECT IMPERFECTIONS [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvToSLNYDzs&feature=related]Cee-lo One For The Road - YouTube[/ame] Genius. Pure genius, both of these 2 albums.
Little Brother - The Minstrel Show A few lines to sum up what the albums about "I scoop you up in my Porsche..SIKE, you know i got a Nissan, that im still paying for, still got a lease on" "If you Xerox the style, then thats infringement on my copy, right? " The Game - Doctors Advocate Its not the lyrical stature of a Ras Kass album, but from start to finish it drips west coast gangsta. And the ending track with Nas is perfect. Couple others to mention: One Be Lo - Sonogram, DOC - No One Can Do it Better, Inspectah Deck - Uncontrolled Substance, Elzhi - The Preface
Nice choice, easily the best west coast album of the 90's. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8elLMAHkn8]UGK - Ridin Dirty [ FULL ALBUM ].wmv - YouTube[/ame] This is my all-time favorite hip hop album and it makes me sad to never see Bun and Pimp C get the respect they deserve. Every track is a banger with the most blunted hooks. High life.... we livin' that high life [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D-SmBAY7c0[/ame] Call some friends and drive around town burning to this album. Best experience you can have with a hip hop album.
