[GiancanaStory]

Shit I even forgot Madvillian that's also one of my favortites you gotta have some doom in it :P

[GiancanaStory]

dope top 10 homie

a lot of shit I love too man

violent by design shit that my favorite album for a long time

But yeah ofcourse I would put Cold Vein in it and some Masta Ace probably

And ofcourse some bootcamp Enta da Stage would be in it for sure.

But a lot of your choices would also be on mine

like deltron and army of the pharaohs and ofcourse binary star

[EnterTheWuTang1]

@GiancanaStory I'm glad you agree with some of them, ah I just relaised I still gotta hear Enta Da Stage the whole way through. There's just so many albums out there g

[GiancanaStory]

@EnterTheWuTang1 yeah I know there is still a lot i gotta hear. But enta da stage is definitely a classic. If you´re into 90´s hardcore shit you gonna love it homie!

@Eziokilla9595 Ive gotta be honest ive heard the Cold Vein twice now and it just didn't really work for me. I should probably revisit it since it's been a while I mean there has to be a reason why it's so acclaimed. I like how you have some of the same choices i do, and good call on Madvilliany that would deifnitely make my top 10 if I remade it that album is perfect

[Eziokilla9595]

@EnterTheWuTang1 It's sick, yeah. Probably the best album Doom will EVER record. The Cold Vein is flawless. I'm with you. I couldn't get into it the first few times, but now I could listen to it for days. El-P is one of my favorite rapper/producers, and Can Ox is probably him at his best. Pigeon is my favorite track. I recommend you give that a listen and if you like it, buy the album. At the very least, buy the instrumental version, because even without the vocal it's still really fucking good

[EnterTheWuTang1]

I just heard Pigeon again and was actually amazed. It's funny how different the albums seems after revisiting it,ive gotta buy it but it might be heard to find here in New Zealand

[Eziokilla9595]

@EnterTheWuTang1 You can always burn it, but it shouldn't be hard to find used.

[Eziokilla9595]

@EnterTheWuTang1 It's certainly an acquired taste. But, truth be told, there aren't words I can use to describe The Cold Vein. S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. was a close second though. One.Be.Lo is another favorite of mine, and that album is a masterpiece. Masta Ace is my favorite MC of all time, so he has to go on there.

[EnterTheWuTang1]

@Eziokilla9595 Yea I didn't actually have any idea wehat Cannibal Ox were tlaking about lol but like a great film i'm guessing it could be analyzed a few times before one might love it. I really liked the production though, I haven't actually heard S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. which is strange since I love Masters of The universe and One Be Lo is great. I'm a fan of Masta Ace but in all honesty I haven't fully heard one of his albums before just heard heaps of tracks, ive obviously gotta get to it

[Eziokilla9595]

@EnterTheWuTang1 S.O.N.O. was just a consistent Hip-Hop album, the entire way through. Lyrically, musically, ect. I had very few issues with it. Masta Ace has a blend of underground and old school elements and east and west coast elements.

[RealHipHopEire32]

nice list..but can someone define underground album to me??

Jeru is one of my favorite mc's.so underrated

[EnterTheWuTang1]

@RealHipHopEire32 Underground hip hop is a style of Hip hop in other words it's independant music. It's made without a manager telling them what to do, freedom of speech and subject matter basicly. All of these albums weren't made commercially which makes them underground albums

[P714EVN]

Yeah good list, 2right about fuck the radio !! Glad 2 see Jeru in there, Classic.

[Spookz47]

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

@EnterTheWuTang1 i like the ones ive heard a lot but i havent heard some of them.

[EnterTheWuTang1]
