Looking good so far macca.
PLO style isn't bad, I'd probably put it on a wu playlist with the other four I listed. And you know what, I Get My Thang in Action is pretty sick as well. It's been years since I listened to Tical, it's better than I remember.
Wu is really hit and miss for me though. I loved 36 chambers, iron man (a recent development) and liquid swords, but everything else from 36 chambers to wu forever I'm mostly "eh" about. They all have their high moments but I can't sit through the entire albums. OBFCL is probably my least favorite, never been a Rae fan. And Return to 36 chambers is close behind. I love ODB but an entire album of ODBism is a bit much. There are some fantastic moments on that album though.

Quick question:
I got a new job that has me driving a lot and I've been tuning in to FM radio around the tri-state area, although until now I've been out of touch with what's popular. Why do LOX seem to be enjoying some kind of surge in popularity? I mean, I was a fan back in the late 90s, but I would not expect them to appeal to today's youth, and they're definitely in contrast to the swag-hop that gets played otherwise. Every 5 minutes it's Drake, Wayne, WTT, etc. and then sometimes... LOX?

Once I'll finish this one, I'm happy to do the Mic idea, then The Chronic one. Just need time.Pinko Marx

The Gaf-Hop shirt needs something spoofing Yeezy Bear.
It works on 2 levels: Gaf-Hop loves itself some YEEZY, and Blackace's avatar being a sort of unofficial mascot.

coldvein's full of surprises today
yeah, i freely admit that i'm not a big fan of Rae (wish i was, he's at least making moves for the clan) but OB4CL is undeiable for me. too each their own, though.
ace - when was the last time you gave tical 2000 a try? i wrote it off years back as Judgement Day and a bunch of filler, and was pleasantly surprised when i went back on it.

Well only you would know the bear's origins to others it would just be a cool Tshirt with a cute bear.
How would people feel about a Tshirt with a bunch of classic lines from gafhoppers? So we would have some of siddx's wiz jokes and some other infamous lines. I remember Yoda had a weird phase for awhile something about sucking dick or getting sucked.

OB4CL is basically a Wu posse album. If not that, you could call it a Ghostface album as much as a Rae album. I know Rae's name is on it, but let's be real. It was just the clan in the lab whipped up that good. Immobiliarity was where, IMO, Rae showed his weakness (minimal clan features).
He's basically just a great sidekick for Ghostface imo.

I agree to a certain extent, but I think you're underselling Rae here. Dude can definitely get down without the clan behind him. Look at Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, he had some cuts on there where it was just him and he rocked it. He also had some solo cuts on OB4CL and shit was dope too.
Rae is a great rapper, but it just so happens that his shit with Ghost is untouchable.

Yeah, no offense to BA, but I'm not buying a shirt with somebody's avatar on it. That's...well, just kind of creepy.
Well the good thing is that we can submit as many as we want. So everyone else can make the ones without Blackace's av on it and all will be good.

I was thinking of a GAF music shirt design but I never got to create it for the shirt thread. It was basically a silhouette of city with the GAF logo under it(Get it? We're Underground lulz Or rather under the underground) with speakers next to the logo point outward or somethng like that. Or just a simple GAF logo wearing headphones.

ya'll are reading way too much into the ace thing - dude's a staple here with his mixes, yeah, but the avatar is a great mascot, like ye's bear, as was said before. anyway.

Black and Brown is a really good length. Doesn't overstay it's welcome at all. Must have played it through straight about 10 times now.
What are some other notable half hour-ish albums?
All I can think of are Madvillainy and the two Gnarls Barkley joints.
Conciseness (on top of being good) is a really positive trait when looking at an album imo

Other than the obvious (illmatic)
G Funk Era was 34 minutes long.
Black Sunday is a bit longer at 43 but moves at just a smooth and quick pace
Which reminds me, everyone should go download Green Street's "Endless Summer" mixtape. Its smoother than baby shit spread on wiz khalifa.

Pretty similar to Madvillainy.

i haven't given both a good listen yet. but from a far, madvillainy seems a bit smother than blu. while blu is ... well blu (bit more rough). the only time i ve seen/heard blu do something different was below the heavens.Pinko Marx said:C.R.A.C Knuckles - The Piece Talks

nah its definitely not as smooth as Madlib production. Blu doesn't do any producing on this album, its all Ta'Raach, a detroit native. I say its similar to Madvaillainy because of its lighthearted tone, short songs, and all around playfullness.
