Supreme Clientele while awesome, has absolutely nothing in common with the vintage Wu-Tang Clan sound...

Edit: I take that back - One, Mightly Healthy, Saturday Nite, Malcolm, and Wu Bang 101 beg to differ.

While Liquid Swords is the best solo Wu album, I really think Ghostface is the best member of the clan. The detail he tells in his stories is really unparalleled. He's also probably the most consistent, original and creative.

You're absolutely right, except for Liquid Swords being the best solo album, as that would be Cuban Linx. :D

Raekwon - Best Flow
Ghostface - Most Creative
Overall Edge - Ghostface Killah (His body of work might be the greatest in hip-hop).

Well he was talking about 90's classic so you're both disqualified.

I'd say(inpo):

ODB - Return to.. (BROOKLYN ZOOO)
GZA - Liquid Swords
GF - Iron Man
MM - Tical (though it didn't live up to the expectations at all back then)
WTC - Double Album
Rae - Cuban Linx (Top 5 overall)
Inspectah Deck - No fucking clue what the name is, bought it last year and it's nice*

*Uncontrolled Substance

Listened intensively to the Smoke DZA tape yesterday and the production is on point (completely handled by KRIT, one track by Ski Beatz I think) and the dude can really spit. Can't believe how many good, free music we get this year. I really have a hard time keeping up..

Could someone give me a CD suggestion?

I bought these 3 recently and like them a lot:

Lil Wayne - The Carter 3
Nas + Damian Marley - Distant Relatives
Clipse - Till the Casket Drops (this being the newest, still getting used to it, but digging it)

So I like those and want to get a 4th CD for a long road trip coming up this weekend. Any suggestions? I already have Cuban Linx 2 which is awesome. Thanks.

If you like Carter 3 you should love Carter 1 (and 2 of course), imho Wayne's best album. If you like that you have a catalogue of about 20 brilliant CMR records to choose from.

If you like "Til the casket drops" you'll love their previous one "Hell hath no fury" You can also dl the excellent "Road to til the casket drops" mixtape for free.

But if I was you I'd go to amazon.com, look on the page for the albums you have and check what other people bought.

My favorite albums while I'm driving at the moment is the LE$ tape "Beautiful Struggle" and Drake's "Thank me later" album, very chill and you can sing along :lol

New Foreign Exchange album is gonna be released in October!

Foreign Exchange, a duo consisting of emcee/singer Phonte and producer Nicolay is preparing their third album, Authenticity for release on October 12, 2010. The title may be fitting for the group who released their Connected debut in 2004, initially as a side-project of beats and rhymes recorded and shared over the Internet. The North Carolina vocalist and the Dutch producer have subsequently met and continued the group through 2008's Leave It All Behind.

Daaaaaamn can't wait, loved their first two records. Didn't even know that they were nominated for a Grammy (well deserved I may add)

Full article here:

Foreign Exchange Prepares Third Album, "Authenticity" For October

This year is getting better and better..

EDIT:

Just discovered this album thanks to HipHopDX.com probably my next purchase:

If you like Distant Relatives you'll probably like anything. I'm gonna suggest Santana - Supernatural. That song with the guy from Matchbox 20 is so damn deep.

I completely missed the Wu-Tang debate thing. 8 Diagrams should be the last god damn Wu album you listen to and then maybe never play it again.

I wasn't looking for it, but I think this is becoming my favorite posse/group album:


CIVIL_SERVICE_WEB.jpg


Typical Cats (Qwel, Qwazzar, Denizen Kane): Civil Service


This shit is just... soooo good. I really don't know how else to describe it. It's a the group's sophomore album and it's not trying to be much more than just raw, boom bap era sickness - and it does it to damn near perfection, if not, absolute perfection. I usually can't stand posse albums because I never like all the group members involved, so the experience is always uneven. This, however, doesn't suffer from those ills due to every member bringing it lyrically and some raaaaaaaw production. There's songs on this shit I'm seriously not sure I'll ever get sick of. This is an absolute MUST listen for any hip hop fan.


'Easy Cause It Is'

'Style Wars Theory'

'The Do'

'The Pavement'

My favorite track 'Can't Save' I can't find on Youtube - that's been my 'Day in the Life (Eternia/Moss)' for this entire week.

Finally recognizing that Qwellian illness? Eminem who? ;)

But yeah, while Qwelloquialisms is considered a classic, I'll 'The Manhattan Project' over it any day:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZi548saT1M&feature=related

JEKKI

If you like that album you should definitely check the original TC album:

00-typical_cats-typical_cats-2001-bepp.jpg



It's a bonafide classic, with some conceptual masterpieces such as Qwel's 'Manhattan Project', and 'Qweloquialisms' and Denizen's 'Snake Oil'. I like 'Civil Service' more stylistically, but the seminal work should not be missed.

After almost 3 years I've also stopped sitting on this:

Akir-Legacy.jpg


Copped it in 2007 and never gave it much of a chance. Mostly because I was REALLY into Immortal Technique at that point, and he was more than enough socio-political, racially charged commentary for me (still is, no one speaks on the subject even less than half as well). Still, Akir is dope and the production on this album is varied and outstanding. Akir invites Nas comparisons for good reason.

My buddy Adam WarRock dropped an entire new mix tape, based completely around the West Coast Avengers and, naturally, over West Coast beats. It's honestly fantastic (and there's a 30 second shout out that features my mealy voice).

How the heck did I miss DJ Muggs vs Planet Asia album? I randomly came across a track on Youtube.

Just downloaded the full album from Amazon.
