Let's see what I can add to this thread.......

Bumped this album for a month straight.....



Came out before Wu-Tang, but got less promotion....



One of the illest beats ever made.....



Dude came out swingin'! Had a dope production team with L.A. Posse and still remains remains relatively unknown.......



I saw Grandaddy IU, but what yall know about these cats.....



Produced by Sir Mix-A-Lot label. Think I was the only cat that had this tape around my way......



MC Ren produced this act. L'il Nation's flow is...............

Yo you taking me back with that shyt! that late 80s early 90s Detroit scene was ridiculous K&M, Awesome Dre, Detroit Most Wanted, K-Stone the illest to me was

J to the D


and Smiley was hardest old school female emcee

another group sunk by an overused sample. This and Shyheim dropped around the same time.

Speaking of...what about Squig from Shaolin Style?

Yup if I’m not mistaken it was E Bro that said it when he worked for KMEL in the Bay when it happened. Could have been a lie knowing how E Bro really is now

I’m going to try to google it and see if anything comes up.

I have NO idea WTF happened to these cats, but they had features from Fat Joe and Grand Puba................



Whole album is dope!!​

[Cole Cash]

These are All Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito classics I'm posting:

this song is worth it strictly for the raw ass lord finesse verse

 

[DrexlersFade]

Erule

Thought for sure this guy had next. This was a underground hit but he never advanced despite incredible skills.

Yo son is nice

Never heard of him I wonder why he didn't blow.

 

[b. woods]

they had it. I swore they had next

But the album only had like 4 good tracks, and one of them had that EXTREMELY overused "I rather be with you" boosie collins sample. Only track I can say was sampled more during this era was For The Love of You by The Isleys

Deniece Williams's "Free" was also sampled heavily in 94-95.

 

[Ribbs]

Nine

Four chicken wings with rice, a 40 ounce and a nickel bag to get nice

Yooo this took me a minute to remember, Nine was fire

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

He dropped an album. Shyt was:

You were holding down this thread lovely with your previous selections unt this blasphemous post.

Focused Daily is a straight west coast underground classic. He came to a local college on tour with Xzibit and 112 (I think it was 112) back in '98 and I was like the only dude in the whole auditorium who was losing his shyt when he was rocking, lol. First rapper I had the chance to build and kick it with after a show. That album still gets yearly rotation from me.

And props on The Juggaknots. Copped the original Fondle 'Em pressing when I was in high school. Funny cuz I was just reading some old interviews from them since I been in my Company Flow bag heavy this week and Brewin was describing how East/West dropped them from the label when they were signed with Missy and Das Efx after they played them "Jivetalk" which wasn't received well by the execs. That shyt was my favorite song off the album between that and The Circle.


Oh, that Shabaam Sahdeeq track with Xzibit you were looking for is called Concrete. Alchemist produced track. Always remembered it cuz Xzibit performed it as an opening act before the Juice Vs. Supernatural battle that the Wake Up Show organized.
