Man I use that website all the time. They got reviews for the most obscure 70s soul records... even like some private press shyt.

That's how I broadened my horizons back in the day. I was strictly hip-hop but was starting to get bored so I started with a specific artist in every genre(por ejemplo punk-NOFX, trip-hop-Tricky, Jazz-Joao Gilberto, I could keep going but I don't want to make this too long winded). and then they'll show similar artist and I'll check them out and go from there. Might try doing that again. Got into a lot of good and obscure albums that way.

I find some of there rating inaccurate. Nas 'nastradamus' LP got 2.5 stars? NOTHING Nas dropped as an album is 2.5 stars out of 5. Nothing.

Bro, Nastradamus was a terrible album.

Giving it 2.5 stars is actually too high

Wouldn't go that far but I agree with the sentiment. Dude should have released the original versions of I Am and Nastradamus and he'd probably have one of the best discographies of all time.

A half rating of 2.5 is very average or meh. Spot on rating for that album, the weakest of his career. 4 is great album, 5 is classic. Even a 3/5 would still be a "decent outing" in rating terms, and I'd disagreed with that for Nastradamus.
