[Van Glorious]

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

^props to the last couple posters. i just downloaded that B.Starr joint and i need to hear that Dirty album. Hit The Floe was amazing

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

This is what makes this site great...putting people on to music they may not have known about.

 

[Peak]

Big Bear - Doing Things

 

[Monoblock]

I still jam this album till this day

Krit's homeboy fukked around and dropped an album/mixtape on par with his

Chuuwee is one of the best new young talents out of the West Coast. This tape and Watching The Throne are amazing

 

[Techniec]

These were the legit surprises

Ice Cube- Laugh Now, Cry Later (I had written Cube off, a good comeback album)
DPG- Dillinger and Young Gotti (I was starting to write off DPG, but this album came out of no where to hit me hard...a personal classic)
Juvenile- 400 Degreez (I was just intrigued by Ha, and thought Id give it a listen, I had no familiarity with southern music outside of wack ass No Limit, fell in love with this album right away, bought it on the spot)
Quik- Balance and Options (I heard it was a step below coming off his Safe and Sound/Rhythmalism run, but its probably my favourite Quik album, love it)

These 2 are especially on point. A lot of people dont remember but 400 Degreez took a while to blow the way it did and was slept on for a good 2 months. So much so they reissued it with that godawful Ha remix with Jay Z and the other remix with new beat and HB verses. I have both versions. Balance and Options is my 2nd favorite Quik album. I dont understand why people hated it or talked down on it but when I heard it I was amazed at how good it was.

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

"You fresh to death, I'm post mortem."




"Fill me w/ liquor watch me start a drunken rage
and write a thousand words a minute on somebody else's page
Then sell it for a million to some wack nikkas and lames
and still be killin' $hit w/ half the $hit I wrote in 7th grade."

Whiteboyz - the Soundtrack

 

[Mike Ock]

I was not a Curren$y fan by any means before this. The album cover made me want to give it a listen. That shyt surprised the hell outta me. I was surprised to here those type of beats on an album from a southern artist.

 

[Big Mel]

Biz Markie - Weekend Warrior


not that Biz hadn't always dropped dope albums, but I didn't think he could come back after 8 years and drop something dope in the early 00's.

 

[sayyestothis]

I downloaded this purely because of the beat they kept playing at the beginning of the Smack/URL videos leading up to its release and I was like as I was listening to this. Rain is a very good rapper.

Consign the fukk outta this^^^^ heard him flow on sways show and had to check him.

 

[torcher]

I aint know what to expect from these dudes and I only listened to it cuz face was a part of it but it surprised me. This album is extremely underrated
