How Would You Rank The Mass Appeal 'Legend Has It' Series ?
- Thread starter KingsOfKings
- Start date
- De La Soul (Cabin In The Sky) - from intro to ending, quintessential De La with cool skits, thought provoking lyrics, strong production and good album sequencing. RIP Dave
- Ghostface Killah (Supreme Clientele 2) - not like Supreme clientele 1, but strong beats, good energy from GFK.
- Slick Rick (surprise guest, album Victory) - so good to hear Rick. Songs like Landlord speak to growth but also showcase his wut and humor. I like the diversity of songs.
- Nas & DJ Premier (collaborative album Light-Years) - lyrics, flow and concepts are tight. Production not so much.
- Big L (Harlem's Finest: Return Of The King) - mostly old material and collabs that prolly never would've happened in real life
- Mobb Deep (Infinite) - production and lyrics are cool just nothing really moving. RIP P
- Raekwon (The Emperor's New Clothes)

De La Soul - easily the best...classic as fukk...production, songs, skits, concepts..shyt gave me legit chills listening
Mobb Deep - the album i played the most this year..i was never satisfied that mobb deep didn't get the proper sendoff as a group they deserved...and it restored the feelings..it felt like a mobb album..hav and alc did p's vocals justice..and shoutout to the noyd feature which hadn't been seen since amerikaz nightmare
Nas - its a very good album..preme was shaky at first but delivered by the end of the album..nas was spittin spittin on this album
Rae - i loved this album, Rae was still sounding vintage..the production wasn't as crazy as i hoped it would be but the flows carried it
Slick Rick - i fukked with this album..it was something different for someone 40 years in the game. my only complaint is its just too short. i wanted to hear more from mc ricky d
Ghost - Ghost was the last Wu member to truly fall off musically long after the Wu as a group did..he put a real consistent string of great/classic releases well into the 2000s and 2010s..had high hopes for a sequel to a bonafide classic. very disappointed. It just seemed like it was just a bunch of shyt thrown together under the guise of SC2...it was like the nas album it got better as the album progressed..if he gave the album a different name, i prolly would have taken it for what it was better
Big L - this one i didnt have any high hopes for. the last time i heard any truly unreleased Big L joints was like 20 years ago....i was hoping for a few gems that might have been in a vault somehwere...with that being said it had a few high spots...the one lone big l solo joint as well as the collabs with nas,meth, and mcgruff...it needed either mase and cam or his ditc crew on some of these joints for a more vintage L project..i get that nas did this in order for big l's estate to generate some money on..L was my fav rapper..i hope this closes his chapter properly
