Speaking of MC Eiht and DJ Quik.. man.. DJ Quik's line "E.I.H.T, shall I continue / You left out the G cuz the G ain't in you" was epic
s don't listen man, representin it's illmatic
Illmatic is one of the few albums I have ever heard where every single song (other than the intro) was at one point my favorite one on the album. If you like that album you should check the song "Live at the BBQ" by Main Source. Nas has the first verse, and that verse is probably why Columbia Records was willing to spend so much on producing Illmatic. It's the verse you hear in the background on the intro to Illmatic (btw that whole Main Source album, Breaking Atoms, is incredible).
C'mon man, seriously tell me this is trash:
Or this
Flav is hilarious in that video
911 is a joke is still prime Flava though
Ok. They're both seriously trash. I was 5 then, it was before my time.
No joke, everything about that song is dope.
If it makes y'all feel any better I owned Vanilla Ice's album.. What the do I know
Beastie Boys Check Yo Head
In the "Time is Illmatic" Do entary, I think it was mentioned that he had label execs trying to find him after that verse to sign him but it wasn't till "Back to the Grill" that he actually got discovered.
Memory Lane is one of those songs that you can listen to 20 times and on the 21 you really realize all that is being said - ing classic.
Forgot about the le track, but Express is a classic imo , even if Cube had to write it for Dre. It's probably more of a testament to Cube that he could write a song for another rapper, in a style completely different from his own, and have it be dope.
Damn I completely forgot that song off MC Serch's solo album (another great album BTW)
Damn that beat too. Illmatic and Straight Outta Compton are the only two tapes I ever bought multiple copies of since I played each until the tape literally broke.
My brother had it! I also had Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em.

I liked Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em so much I bought his debut album too. I was 10 though.
Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em had some jams on it, like Here Comes the Hammer and obviously U Can't Touch This. I thought Ice Cube was way out of line calling MC Hammer a sell-out in True to the Game. If he would have made that song after Too Legit to Quit (when Hammer started trying to bite a C&C Music Factory kind of sound) then I could have understood, but his first two albums were straight hip hop. Kind of disgusted me when I saw Cube prop MC Hammer in an interview the other day.
His debut album was awesome. Turn This Mutha Out and Let's Get it Started were great songs.
Of course.. I had Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Kris Kross, my dumbass aunt bought 9 year old me the explicit copy of Sir Mix a Lot's album for some reason.. Perhaps the gayest of my life was buying the Salt n Pepa tape SMH
I have good memories of cruising around with my Mom at like ten years old banging Cypress Hill's Black Sunday full blast windows down
I was 10 years old and Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em was being played EVERYWHERE. I also bought the Kriss Kross record
Salt N Pepa is terrible, never liked any of their . But Mix-a-Lot's first three albums were good, and Swass was great. Vanilla was a one hit wonder. Ice Ice Baby was great but the whole rest of that tape was trash. Jump and Warm it Up were great songs, but I don't really know the rest of their debut album so can't comment. I didn't like Black Sunday much. Only songs on that album I liked were I Wanna Get High and A to the K. It was nowhere near as good as their debut where Pigs, How I Could Kill a Man, Hand on the Pump, The Phunky Feel One, Latin Lingo, Tres Equis, Hole in the Head, and Psychobetabuckdown were all amazing songs.Of course..
