Today on the way to work,I bumped the CLASSIC Wu-Tang Forever and man my love for this album will never die! Disc one is damn near perfect to me and disc two has filler occasionally but overall this is an all time great project in my eyes forever! What’s your thoughts?

Unpopular opinion: Underground 50 Cent in the 90s was nothing special

50 Cent is one of my favorite rappers and I can rap a lot of his songs word for word. But, a popular theory is that he was better before his Get Rich Or Die Tryin era. People believe he was so lyrical and so talented before he got in the mainstream. While I can enjoy certain tracks from 50 Cent's underground days. I can say I don't see the rapping difference in 90s 50 Cent vs the mainstream early 2000s 50 we all know and love today. Only difference is the slight voice changes. Matter of fact I'll even go as far to say 50 was nothing special in the 90s as he sounded like every other new York rapper at that time. His Power Of The Dollar album sounds like a rough draft that wasn't finished yet. I'll argue that 50 didn't start having better lyrics til he got shot and even me saying that is a slight stretch..

After the 5 Mic classic that was Liquid Swords the GZA went back to the lab and came back with a cleaner, more "polished" sound for the year 1999. How does this album hold up in retrospect ?

What MC/Group turned you into a hip hop fan?

Though I've been a fan since the early 80s, I didn't really become a hip hop junkie until ATCQ's Low End Theory.

Black Star - Little Brother (Prod. J-Dilla)

A track from one of my favorite duos featuring one of my favorite Dilla beats.

If you know the story behind this beat, you know it almost didn't come to be.
