Difficult, difficult, difficult.....

Ok, here goes;

The Cold Vein - Cannibal Ox
Fear of A Black Planet - PE
Hard to Earn - Gang Starr

And this;

An absolutely magnificent, stone cold classic that I implore each and every one of you to track down and listen to.


And props to those who have mentioned 'Goodfellas' by Show and AG.
It was entirely instrumental at this time, like jazz gone wild...a very tribal sound: very electronic. We would play like that for about 10 minutes. Then everybody would have to get really stoned again…But what we had put into 10 minutes was so total and so very savage – the earth shook, then cracked, and SWALLOWED ALL MISERY WHOLE.

The first 3 ones almost never change... For the 4th, well, this one or BIG : "Ready to die", Gangstarr : "moment of truth", Afu-Ra : "Body Of The Life Force", Non Phixion : "The future is now"....

Plus: MOP : "Warriorz" ,Dr. Octagon - "Dr. Octagonecologyst", "Lootpack - Soundpieces: Da Antidote", Outkast - "Stankonia", "Aquemini", "Speakerboxx/The Love Below", Blahzay Blahzay - "Blah Blah Blah", OGC - "Da Storm", Mobb Deep - "The Infamous" are all very important to me.

And i don't mention the instrumental hip hop albums.
