I guess i was looking at it like shit that album was great to me. I mean i felt it when it dropped. I appreciate it now even more. But yea it took its time to hit with a lot of people. The crazy thing is it felt like that album connected 1st with more people who wasn't or aren't considered "culture" people. Although a lot of old school hip hop loved that shit...
Music Debate: Other than Redman, which rapper had 3 classic in a row starting out?
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Absolutely!!!!
No and I am a cool j fan. Panther wasn't in tune with the hip hop black awareness movement at the time.
Redman 2nd album was too left. Muddy Waters had him changing his swag.
That is all I'm saying
For Redman to come out on DEF JAM
(remember the ROSTER at that SPECIFIC time and the overall competition in hip hop as a whole)
that EPMD cosign (don't forget Das EFX was a monster success those 2 first albums off EPMD co sign)
East coast with that funk and weed vibe
when you REALLY HAD TO MOVE UNITS?
NO ONE SOUNDED like Reggie
then immediately after?
EVERYONE DID.
and he hit them again and AGAIN
Redman first 3 albums have MULTIPLE hit singles
and underground records.
Fam whoever you put up against that 3 album solo run?
remember this record
and how BIG it STILL is...
at sporting events and samples...
and like I said Redman came OUT DAY ONE nice as f*ck and not sounding like NO ONE SLES
UNIQUE form style to production to humor to subject matter.
I LOVE LOVE Ghost that might be the only one I put as a top contender
and even HIM?
I still might take Reggie by a HAIR
JUST OFF THE # first albums.
because he was just all over the place.
I submit exhibit W.
not the BEST song
but one of the greatest hip hop vocal performances PERIOD.
TECHNICALLY not a SOLO
just saying
(I know that's some old bullsh*t but damn it its my thread!)
LMFAO!!!

Method Man and Redman to reunite on Power Book II: Ghost — this time as brothers

How high was this on your Power wishlist?
EW can exclusively reveal that Grammy-nominated rapper Redman will appear in the upcoming second season of Starz's Power Book II: Ghost, reuniting him with Method Man, his frequent music collaborator, How High costar, and Method & Red sitcom partner.
Method is a series regular on Ghost, playing slick, high-priced lawyer Davis Maclean, while Redman is joining the Power spinoff in the guest-star role of Theo Rollins, Davis's imprisoned older brother.
Theo and Davis used to run the streets together, but now that little bro has escaped that life and become New York's top defense attorney following his victory in the Tasha St. Patrick (Naturi Naughton) case, Theo is questioning if guilt is still enough for Davis to keep his promise.

The duo has been making music together for more than 25 years, and just recently squared off in the latest Verzuz battle. The partnership made its way into the acting world with 2001's cult stoner comedy How High and 2004's short-lived sitcom Method & Red, which lasted only nine episodes after creative disagreements between Fox and its stars.
Not to take credit for the Ghost reunion, but speaking to creator Courtney Kemp during season 1, EW threw out the dream casting idea: "Don't we need Redman?" Kemp responded with a laugh, adding she "hoped" to see that happen.
Well, it will when Ghost returns, but not before Power Book III: Raising Kanan makes its series premiere this summer.
throwbump
Outkast would kill any rap group in versus....
I said CLASSICS.
3 straight.
Not just singles
6 god admitted himself in that last interview
It's insane that boy is one of the best of our generation but outside that mix tape? Only got maybe one certified top to bottom classic album
But countless classic singles and features.
I don't think he has any classic albums....
Nigga lay down the straw...
So Far Gone even as a mixtape counts.
Nigga where you from Idaho LOL.
Ban
Detroit nigga. What makes them a classic? Like I said he had some cuts. None of those were straight thru bangers. Shits is real forgettable. Red ain't got a classic song let alone 3 straight classic albums. And don't try to give me how high cause that's a collab.

Hmm I don't even think that's his best album. Nothing was the same to me is his best. Also is Scorpio was like 11 songs that would have been a classic....
So far gone to me
As a debut and now listening to ALL THE MUSIC it inspired?
That has to a classic.
Drake issue is the sameness of his subject matter and sequence
His albums are like playlists at times.
And this is from a fan of his since Degrassi.
I think all his albums are solid
Scorpio was a really big over reach and your 100% accurate
But with all his previous albums it's the same thing...
a good executive producer?
Would tighten that whole thing up and place the records and pare it down more.
But realistically... one the best selling artists of a generation I don't think he can measured by the same metrics.
We criticize the ghost writing and mc title but as a ARTIST on every level?
not many messing with the boy.
Period.
Nothing was the same was fire...
I gotta listen to that again.
I think take care is my favorite studio album
I have been listening to just the lox and nas but next week I think I might listen to all drake albums and come back here to comment
How do u like the new Nas album. The 1st king was solid. Not great but solid. Way better than that Kanye produced shit...
Drake is like McDonald's to me. Yes it's the best selling hamburger or burger joint but is it the best?; I can find several burger joints that are better. Drake in a nutshell....
damn that is an interesting comparison...
and I mean that
if you really dig into that comparison on multiple levels
damn that fits.
wow i gotta think on that one.
