Not even close to me. Less filler and both emcees were better. Thought was top 5 during that time. He zoned out! His verse on "Section" is one of my fav verses of all-time.

I know that whole verse.

>I know that whole verse.

Same here. I heard that song on 88.5 in Atlanta and was like, yep I'm
buying that CD. I had just started my 12th grade year. September 96.
That's how dope rap used to be. A nicca remembers when he first heard
songs.

Word

i think DYWM had a lot less filler than Illadelph did, personally.

_________
steamrollin'

it flowed perfectly, every song had it's own vibe, it was refreshingly original but had everything that made hip-hop dope at the time fully represented...the singles were perfectly selected and released too, Distortion to Static remains one of the most underrated singles in Rap history

Illadelph is a monstrous classic of an album but could be said to be a bit too long and dreary by the end, could've used a little shortening...

some of the Roots absolute best songs are on these two albums

Thought and Malik B was on another level on this record...

Although I feel as if DYWM??!? is more interesting from a musical perspective.

I liked the refined organicness of it.
The Malik B - Black Though interaction was dope.
Lots more things too...
Oh yeah, The Lesson was on it
