""Classic" albums you've never heard"


  

          

I read all these threads and whenever an album is discussed and labeled "classic" I make it a point to give it a listen and see if I like it or not. But still, there are some albums many, whether critics or random OKP posters, label "classic" that I've yet to hear.

OutKast - "Southerplaya..." & "ATLiens"
Tupac - "All Eyez on Me"
Any Run-DMC
Common - "Ressurection"
Ice Cube - "Amerikkkaz Most Wanted" & "Death Certificate"

How bout you?

"No Need For Alarm." Really solid early and mid-'90s Bay Area hip-hop. The beats and rhymes are exquisite.

Yeah, and cop that first Organized album. I like it better than "Stress." The best songs on "Stress" are better than the best on their first, but the first is still an overall better album.

5. "That's still a great album"
In response to Reply # 3


  

          

I like the fact that the sound quality wasn't so lo-fi and demo-ish, and yet it wasn't too polished. I felt there was a sense of writing and production maturity, and the humor that they dropped occasionally was balanced with the seriousness of what they were doing. If you think about it, a song like De La's "Tread Water" was similar to JB's "Beeds On A String" in terms of the influence, its message, and what they were trying to say.

8. "A quick question"
In response to Reply # 6


  

          

Did you like the first album? With the 2nd JB album, were you expecting something along the lines of what De La and ATCQ were doing?

DONE BY THE FORCES TO NATURE, at least for me, was them making an impression out of their immediate circle, and it worked. It didn't "speak to me" or anything like that, I liked the fact that it was very different from what everyone else was doing, and yet still sounded like rap music. From the era, it remains as one of my favorite albums.

but it still doesn't have the staying power as a "3 feet high" or "low end theory." I do think its better than "Peoples Instictive Travels" though.

like not in a pretensious hipster ' youve never heard death certificate?' way, but a 'this is the greatest fucking hip hop record out of the west coast ever, and after hearing this you realize why ice cube gets a pass for the past 10 years of his career' way. a flawless 5 mic album.


for real, both death certificate and atliens are albums i wish i could listen to for the first time again.

from start to finish. the dope thing about it was i didn't even know cube was dropping an album. my sister had went to this midnight sale at the record bar in chapel hill and the next morning she popped the tape in the deck and when the his voice came on she just had this smirk on her face, looking at me like, you late nigga. i was in ninth grade. that is a warm memory for me.

21. "Neither of those is a "must hear" per se"
In response to Reply # 7


  

          

But they are good documents of the time, especially the Mantronix album. I'd say that is a pretty big album most people haven't heard and I think it is cause it wasn't that big at the time it was released. Still, I think it is a valuable record to listen to simply because of how much you can hear today's rap beats in it, even though it was released nearly 20 years ago.

Oh, and, "Critical Beatdown" is a great, great, great album that I almost never find myself in the mood to listen to.

I don't even really mess with punk much at all, but I know these dudes are tight. Heard a couple of tracks here and there, and they were pretty fresh. Haven't been bothered getting the whole album to listen yet though.

Cause if so you should prolly still like "London Calling." It is very high energy and engaging to listen to, its really much more of a, dare I say it, pop album than a punk album. But that is kind of what makes it so punk, if that makes any sense at all.

i like the first single "looking at the front door", but i could never bring myself to listen to it based off the corny ass album cover. i've only heard two songs from that; "looking..." and "live from the bbq".

So if you like that track you will prolly dig the album as a whole. Its very good, but it kind of reminds me of a Smokey Robinson album, in that the song-writing is strong, but Large Pro seems to see the album as an opportunity to play with subject matter more than form. So because of that it is a bit repetitious, but what it is repeating is so good you should find at least a handful of songs you really dig.

19. "Ice-T - Power"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

*hangs head in shame*

Ice-T is the one guy I have always wanted to get into and just never have. I have at least given everything else I could think of a chance, but I have never went out and copped or even dl'ed an entire Ice-T album. Which doesnt really make sense, cause I do like the guy.



I would also like to take the time out to stick up for some people in here and say it is okay if you have heard a "classic" and don't like it. It happens. Don't be ashamed. Try to figure out why you don't like it and we can discuss. I have several classics I don't really care for, but this is probably an unnecessary adendum to this post anyways so I will just stop.

In response to Reply # 19


  

          

Sometimes I'll pick up a "classic" album and I really wont be feeling it that much. I think it has more to do with it not being a fan or getting the album around the time it was released

25. "Eh, it can be"
In response to Reply # 20


  

          

But I actually like it when I don't love a "classic" album, because then I want to research what made it so special in the first place. This means looking at the climate in which it was released, the style in which is was done, how well the lyrics/music/overall sound was put together, and things like that. So I would say that there are some classics I don't like that much that I have a somewhat deeper understanding of than a classic I straight up love and just leave as love.

In response to Reply # 28


  

          

LOL.

The first two albums are good, though. Mainly because of production, but on the second album you can see them get kind of mad about how they were pigeonholed.

"Stakes Is High" was when they really started to get "real", and shed all the extra materials.

I bet a lot of you out there haven't heard Smif n' Wessun's Dah Shinin and probably there are people who haven't heard Mobb's The Infamous. Both are 100% classics. Also, someone mentioned word...life by OC. How about Jewelz? It may not be a classic but is damn close.

But that whole DITC/Beatminerz era/sound doesnt really appeal to me, so I am taking my time on getting around to it. I dont know, I like a lot of the material on Dah Shinin', Runaway Slave, etc. but none of those albums really hit me LIKE THAT, you know what I mean?

In response to Reply # 38


  

          

but the reality is you're not missing much.

Organix is cool to have in order to complete your collection of the Legendary.....but honestly it's about as important to the Roots as Juvenille Hell is to Mobb Deep, in other words most people (even diehard fans) consider their second albums to be the real starting point.

ugh lots of stuff. i just bought my 1st kool g rap album this week. don't own any big daddy kane or rakim (shocking, i know), only own two albums each from PE and ATCQ, i could go on and on about all the classics i either don't own or have never heard. incidentally i see nothing wrong with lupe having never heard MM (one of the ATCQ albums i do own and enjoy) and, crucially, not caring to hear it either. there are some classic rap albums i have little interest in because they're not "for" me and like lupe i grew up and prefer a different era of hip-hop (the same era as he because we're about the same age).

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I'm hard-pressed to think of something considered a 'classic' hip-hop album that I haven't at least heard the whole way through several times......and in most cases owned at some point (if not on CD at least on cassette in the eighties).

Since albums didn't really start becoming a focus until around '86 (with the exceptions of a few Run-DMC, LL, and others) I kind of picked up from where that facet of hip-hop really started.

But there's mad 12-inches/singles from the early eighties that I'm not as well-versed in I'm sure.

59. "still haven't heard E.1999 (& WAY MORE...)"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I started listening round 94 or something,--but I pretty much STRICTLY listened ta the newest shit, I just FLAT REFUSED ta spend time nor money bothering ta check dated shit till helllllllaaaaa years later. I mean, I STRICTLY wanted the fresh shit y'know, & only had that little bit of lunch money,--if it'd been out for a year then it was old news & I'd missed the boat & was fine with that. & If it wasn't being buzzed about round my circle (Bay Area gangsta shit) then that got missed too... I Remember hearing Method Man for the first time on Spice-1's tape,--previous ta that it didn't really matter what a Wu-Tang was,--hardly any East coast shit for that matter.

It was a loooong time before I could really afford try that 'hiphop historian' gig on.

& by that time certain albums I'd randomly have built up a slight grudge against simply for not having heard them that late into it. Because I like being early to things,--if I'd missed the boat for toooo long then I'll just start developing a grudge against it.


So, without further ado here is a list of acouple things that I can at least REMEMBER that are still on my list ta yet ta hear but by now I'm kinda dis-interested in because it's been so long:

•still haven't heard E.1999 even though Creepin On A Come Up was my FIRST full-out-favorite tape ever. & E.1999 is supposebly their best but somehow I've never gotten around to it.

•haven't heard much Pac all the way front to back besides "Me Against The World" & "Makaveli",--especially not the early stuff.

•the ONLY Public Enemy album I've heard thru was that trash ass "He Got Game Soundtrack" by accident LOL!! but that's just cuz I don't like them. I guess it's wrong ta say I don't like them if I haven't heard enough, but Chuck's rap style is wild annoying, plus their sound is too chaotic & bland at the same time some how.

•Still haven't heard ANY Cube albums front to back besides the Bootlegs & B-Sides collection album because I bought it for a friend's birthday & he played it. I respect Cube a bit, but somehow think he'll dissapoint me on a 'whole-album-listen'.
NWA for that matter past the Greatest Hits album even though that's one my favorite tapes ever...

•Low End Theory is the only Tribe I've heard front to back, & don't really like it that much, ALTHOUGH I HAVE HEARD a decent chunk of Midnight Marauders on a roadtrip & really liked what I heard but never felt pulled enough ta get it in my hands...

•Jungle Brothers 3 earlier albums all still sitting in a folder somewhere on my computer & haven't ever checked em. But, my sister from NY kept tryngta get me ta listen ta them back in 93 & I never actually did so when that comebackish 'Raw Deluxe' album came out hella years later then I bought that & kinda liked it for a little while. but still never actually went back past that.--actually guess what,--I'm finally listening ta 'Straight Out The Jungle' right now because of this post =)

•Still hadn't listened ta ILLmatic all the way through,--or at least FULLY APPRECIATED & payed attention--till I downloaded the Ten Year Remaster in 2004...

•still no 'Ressurrection' or 'Can I Borrow A Dollar'... I've meant to remedy 'Ressurrection' for years & fully intend ta sumday, because one my old friend's used ta play it all the way through the very first day of every summer every year, & that always sounded like a fly thing ta do...

•still not very much whole albums from the 80's in general because I honestly DON'T LIKE MUCH OF THAT RAPPING STYLE NOR PRODUCTION VALUE. I like certain tracks by certain cats: Melle Mel, Rakim, Schooly D, & silly as they may seem: Eazy-E & Rob Base. I know, I know, but really that's basically the cream of the mostly crap 80's voices/deliveries that I really felt... & Even them aren't worth listening past the really great tracks far as I'm concerned. definitely not 'album' type artists, y'know??? So I could list a huge list of so-called classic late 80's LPs that I've never heard in full & don't really plan ta unless I get stuck somewhere extra bored nothing to do...

__________
still waiting:
•Killer Mike--16 In The Kitchen
•SA-RA--Black Fuzz
•Jay Electronica--Act II
•3 Stacks solo//Goodie MoB.--Black History//'Kast--10 The Hardway//...
•Madvillain:2//Ghost+DOOM//...
•**** a Detox

Well, shit, if you liked that Greatest Hits, you will love Death Certificate and AmeriKKKa's Most. Because Ice Cube was still on that "Fuck Tha Police" vibe.

Until you hit at least The Predator, he won't disappoint you on a full-album listen.
