Shame that this one doesn't get more attention because I think this is the point where El established his sound that we all know and love today. Credit to Len where credit is due, as well. He snapped on Shadows Drown.

    Great review 🔥 Been a long while since I listened to this album in full but my memory tells me that this is still Ferg's best imo. Ik Bone Thugs were features on another song on this album but them remixing Hood Pope would've been dope imo. Since I think you can tell he was influenced by their style on that song From memory I'll say my fave songs are Shabba, Work Remix, Hood Pope and Let It Go. Like I said tho, I haven't listened to this in full in a long time so there's probably a song or 2 I'm sleeping on

    My friend, "Paullelujah" is one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time. I picked it up at Tower the week it came out because i had heard "It's very Stimulating". All it took was opening up that album insert and tasking myself with trying to find all the palindromes. It was such a smart record in a time with no shortage of intelligent emcees. Great to see someone else who loves it as much as i do.

You can't actually say why ONE album here doesn't belong, bc you can't debate about something you haven't listened to lmao even if it wasn't a PERSONAL FAVORITE list, which it is. Im guessing you mean the albums in my honorable mentions were greater than the ones on the list? They're more impactful maybe lmao but youre just mad that I didnt make a POINTLESS, copy and pasted list with 1. Illmatic, 2. Ready to Die 3. To Pimp a Butterfly etc etc foh.

You haven't even named ONE album I didn't include yet what Eminem didnt make my personal favorites list? Is that it lmao bc I said at the beginning why Illmatic and the like wouldn't be in the list, those arent albums I personally return to as much as these. I bet anything you can't even name ONE classic that you think I missed, that I haven't already reviewed in depth on the page. Theres a reason all the ppl who know what they're talking about fucked with it, bc anyone who actually knows these projects knows every single one I named was amazing, and the only ones who would get mad and use blanket statements like you did, are people who BLATANTLY haven't heard them.

    I bought Black Sunday when I was about 11-12 years old - I had no idea who they were, I just liked the cover art. I was hooked on the first track. Funny track for a 12 year old to bump. It was around this time that I was able to order a bunch of CDs from one of those catalogs.. I got like 10 CDs and amongst them were Cypress Hill 1991, Temples of Boom (which went on to be my favorite), Method Man Tial, Redman Dare Iz..., Big's Ready to Die, Onyx All We got.., Mobb Deep Infamous and I think Silverchair Frogstomp (again, I liked the cover lol). I had a White Zombie CD in there too...

    Hard to Earn is their Magnum Opus to me. Its an absolute masterpiece of production and you're so right, Guru's pen is underrated. The rhymes on this one are more clever than conscious but they're still dope. I love the last verse of 'Code of the Streets' which starts like this: "Nine times out of ten, I win with the skills I be wielding Got the tenth one kneeling, let me express my feelings" My 3 favorite tracks: 'Now You're Mine', 'Speak Ya Clout' and the aforementioned 'Code of the Streets'

  • @donb.loneleo770

    Dope review, this was a good one. I also have Moment of Truth as my fave from them but some days Hard To Earn gets my no. 1. But usually its my no. 2. Def in my top 10 from 1994 hip hop A interesting tidbit about Code of the Streets is that Premier has said that Guru actually made most of the beat. Premier said that he just enhanced it with his drums and scratching but that everything else was Guru. I'm paraphrasing but that's what he basically said on the So Wassup episode about this song. Anyway, this was a nice set of 90s albums, looking forward to the next set
