Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein Appreciation

[Ohene]

vordul spazzed on stress rap

 

[ZEB WALTON]

The album that helped me get into the underground

The cold vein
Future is now
Madvillainy
Op doomsday
A piece of strange
Hells winter
Whats wrong with bill

Love that whole era and all the rappers in it

you wanna see a little kid get shot?

I never got into their shyt...never saw the appeal...it just sounded too different...like this shyt sounded like it was made in an abandoned warehouse in brooklyn in 2074 A.D.

Sounds like you see the appeal just fine

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

been playing this a lot through this cold front going thru my city lately. shyt hasnt really aged much for me..it still sounds ahead of its time in many ways.

Bonus

This wasn't on that joint though...

A cac produced it so no. A cac can't be involved with any classic album. Also EL P is almost as bad as Eminem when it comes to the calcification of hip hop. Before him underground and backpacker was Black Moon, Artifacts and stuff like that and then it became some nerdy white garbage.

Welp, you heard it here first. Illmatic now no longer classic since MC Serch executive produced it.

YIKES./

He wasn't involved with the actual music but his involvement does diminish it.

This is the definition of a classic album.

Never heard nothing like it before or after.

One of the few albums I can just put on, close my eyes, and zone to another planet.

nikkas made Harlem sound like a Ridley Scott flick.

I guess that means Critical Breakdown isn't a classic since a cac produced multiple tracks on it. RIP Paul C. Also gotta throw out LL Cool J albums due to Rick Rubin.

Their involvement diminishes these albums. You let a few in who are smart enough to act respectful and not get out of line even though they rape the culture from the backdoor and before you know it you have an Elvis type of situation.
