this whole album is a stone-cold classic - how is there no suga free thread?

"Only reason that girl wear panties is to keep her ankles warm"

So good he used it twice on the same album, the other being my choice cut off Street Gospel:

Doe Doe and a Skunk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk58yokXtAw

Probably the bounciest rap album Ive ever owned, also one of the best.

yeah dude I got it off your ballot, major props

My pleasure, def weird that there isnt a Suga Free thread, maybe when the next Quik produced SF album drops (fingers crossed).

there's a thread on 77 where ppl talk about suga free for a while, but his name isn't in the title -- it was started by gr80, some general music rec thread, i don't remember what it was called & i'm too lazy to search for it

Noob question; what's a 77 thread?

shhhh secret borad, don't tell anybody

post here to get access but don't tell anybody on pain of death

Hmm, alright, done, thanks.

mr bigg has couple nice tapes

some old school conscious stuff...

the basement khemist - "everybody (l.i.f.e.)"(1998) prod. by dj spinna!

on an alternate timeline, Spinna is part of the production team on Beats, Rhymes & Life and it's a 9/10. I do love that Basement Khemist record, but on the whole, wayyyy too many of his beats went to lackluster MCs. What coulda been!

this one is lovely too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FKZiWJKUZs

yeah, some of spinna's old beat tapes from the 90s are on spotify. definitely in the right line. oddly the compositions albums aren't on streaming. some really dreamy samples on that stuff.

amazing, thx for sharing

i can promise you that i owned a copy of this cd. or i must have. i wrote on ilm about sheek louch releases in the early 2000s, so my record is not up for debate. there's no way that i didn't have this. no, i saw it countless times in pawn shops and discount racks and never picked it up. that must be what happened. thank goodness. i could still be swept away tonight by swizz beats plicking at the keyboard on "all for love." the rest, if i had heard it twenty years ago, might have been forgettable. this is random old rap i am loving.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sifS-gle0Qs

along the same lines, i heard it on lox dipset verzuz which somehow, despite being intended for my demographic, until the youtube algorithm delivered me the repeat of the "who shot ya" freestyle had passed me by.

I love Tha LOX esp that era

Hurricane Starang · O.G.C.

love that one

feel like it would be impossible to sound wack over that beat

big tune, loved ogc! da beatminerz were so consistent too. boot camp deserves a proper retrospective or something.

sidebar: the second ogc album was one of the places i initially encountered david axelrod-

I've no idea what the origin of this is but I'm digging it atm

oooh, that's a nice one indeed - the things one forgets! love the redirect to the web address that was based on the sandbox webstore domain.

anybody remember bball's best kept secret, the mid-90s compilation featuring nba players rapping? it was fun! cedric ceballos scored a sick warren g beat, but i was always into malik sealy's super pos raps on "lost in the sauce"-

gone way too soon. check him out ballin on the 76ers!

I just saw that DJ Clark Kent died. Coincidentally, I've been listening to Rakim's first two solo albums lately, on which Clark Kent is the credited producer for many tracks--including my favorite, "It's the R":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkCbsREaLO8

Also coincidentally, I recently listened to a podcast interview with Ski Beatz, where he talked about how crucial Clark Kent was to his early career. Really made it seem like that was the professional connection that made everything possible for him. And Ski is one of my favorite beatmakers ever, so as far as I'm concerned, that alone is a major contribution
