Always been top 3, sometimes #1. And even that time period...it seems that many rap fans look at it as kind of a wack period, but some of my favorite hip hop (and hip hipish) albums came out then...EC, Blazing Arrow, FanDam, Phrenology, Trinity (Slum Village), Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections...just kind of an experimental time in that wing of rap, I guess.

2903337, Yeah that was around the time I signed up to OKP

Electric Circus, Phrenology and Quality released all around the same time, I love all three of them.

2903340, Feel like you may have signed up the same exact day I did.

Just posted to check. Close!

2903348, I much prefer...

The previous set of albums that dropped when I signed up...

Things Fall Apart
Black On Both Sides
Train of Thought
Like Water For Chocolate
Fantastic Vol 2
Voodoo
Mama's Gun

That was great time for music for me.

2903334, still Resurrection with One Day on it's ass

I haven't played LWFC in damn near ten years, I really have no real interest to revisit it again despite the fact that I really enjoyed it

2903338, You should break out LWFC

I did today and fell back in love with it.

It seemed like a mixture of his loose freestyle 'fun' delivery of Resurrection with the more conscious content of One Day...

Add in the incredible musicianship and you have a great album that I may have to vote for in this poll.

2903341, This is shocking and weird.

BE is still great too but not on the level of those

have always had a love/hate thing w/ LWFC, some of his best songs are on that record

2903345, RE: still Resurrection with One Day on it's ass <- Same here

2903346, I actually picked One Day, but ....
Posted by Brew, Mon Sep-29-14 08:42 PM

that's my answer today. Some days it's also the same as you guys.
