BIG L - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/05/big-l-lifestylez-ov-da-poor-dangerous.html
I really don't add much to the narrative of this album's status within rap discourse, because how could I? Better hip-hop sages out there do this more justice than I could, so all I'll say is Believe The Hype.

BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY - E. 1999 Eternal
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/05/bone-thugs-n-harmony-e-1999-eternal.html
Given how dark the subject matter on this album is, only in the #90s could something like this actually be a chart-topper too.

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/04/method-man-tical-2000-judgement-day.html
Like all of Mr. Meth's records, not a BAD album, just not what everyone expected of him. Or in this case, perhaps too much of it.

KURUPT - Tha Streetz Iz A Mutha
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/03/kurupt-tha-streetz-iz-mutha.html
I wonder if this one still has that 'Overlooked Gem' status tagged to it? Can't help but feel a lot of Westcoast rap from the turn of the Millennium isn't held quite as high in regard as it once was. For reasons...

"Seminal blues historian Elijah Wald says that Robert Johnson didn't learn how to incorporate the occult into his poetry and project his macho stage persona from the devil himself. It was from, among others, the man who called himself 'The Devil's Son-in-Law', Peetie Wheatstraw.

Everyone now knows this is among the best solo Wu joints to ever come out. But how many got to humble-brag about stumbling into a rare miss-press version? Fortunately, I ain't so humble as to not brag a little about it!

N.W.A. / Straight Outta Compton (1988); Mit diesem Rap-Meisterwerk revolutionierte N.W.A. den Hip-Hop und legte den Grundstein für Gangsta-Rap.

OL' DIRTY BASTARD - Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/03/ol-dirty-bastard-return-to-36-chambers.html
One of a kind, this album. No one could replicate what Ason Unique brings here, and nor has anyone tried, less they be branded a lesser wanna-be copycat. And you don't want to be branded that, by g'ar!

Happy 60th Birthday, Dr. Dre.
Andre Romelle Young se narodil 18. února 1965 v Comptonu. Vytvořil jedny z nejsilnějších a nejtvrdších beatů černošské urban music. Pro někoho tak je Phil Spectorem rapu. Jiní si myslí, že pro své "blikance" spíše Mikem Tysonem.

ICE CUBE - The Predator
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2014/12/ice-cube-predator.html
Made mention of how the social-strife Cube was rapping about affecting America of the early #90s was still happening a quarter century later when I wrote this. Little did I know how much worse it'd get just half a decade later. Cube sure was prophetic back then, even if often being a jerk-ass about it. 😅

CYPRESS HILL - III: Temples Of Boom
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2024/12/cypress-hill-iii-temples-of-boom.html
How do you follow the surprise success of your sophomore album? By going 'straight for the ditch', as Neil Young put it, and boy, does this album ever get into the muck of it. Wonderfully so!

Macola Records released N.W.A.’s first LP, the compilation “N.W.A. and the Posse”
That’s right. This is their first full album.
Macola released a 5 song EP earlier this same year.
But the band left Macola Records soon after, so the owner put together this compilation of tracks from N.W.A., Fila Fresh Crew, and Microphone Mike.MC Ren and DJ Yella were not yet in N.W.A, but you can see Ren on the album cover picture.
The album kicks off with the Eazy-E single “"Boyz-n-the-Hood" 👇

Schoolly D - “How A Black Man Feels” LP
This is his 5th album. I got this and his prior one immediately after seeing the movie “King of New York”, as the track of the same name was playing in the background in one of the scenes. The voice this guy has is uniquely hardcore.
Chilling, first-person depictions of a drug dealer's violent world throughout, but there’s also some lighter fare like the groovy, danceable “Where’d You Get That Funk From”.
"King of New York" describes the life of a drug dealer with an excellent hardcore delivery syncopated on a dark and hard rhythm vitalized by a dozen samples including Public Enemy, NWA, George Clinton, and The Commodores.

N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton LP
When I think back to the summer of ‘88 and how this album’s popularity grew steadily, mostly through media hysteria and parental overreaction, I’m reminded once again that since forever, outrage sells. If parents hate it and cops fear it, well that sounds like something most teenagers will want to check out. It’s the age old allure of the illicit. Jazz, Rock-n-Roll, punk, and now “gangster rap”.
The beats were killer and so was the production quality. The whole album is tailor made for blasting out car stereos and boomboxes.
And what a timeless anthem they delivered with “Fuck Tha Police” 🚔
