Lenny's 5th didn't follow a monsterhit album and wasn't really creative. George Michael was his first album, but I get your point. MJ, well, thriller, bad and dangerous was one big run wasn't it? Prince, yes, I get your point. Actually, this was probably your starting point, wasn't it? There aren't many artists that 'change a winning team' the way that Prince did. [Edited 8/24/08 13:36pm] |

Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants immediately comes to mind. | |

no idea what the sales comparisons are for the 2 (though I imagine the first outsold the second since it did have a couple of semi-hits), but...

Badu - Mama's Gun D'Angelo - Voodoo Adriana Evans - Nomadic De La Soul - De La Soul Is Dead Those are good choices. All three of them are excellent follow up albums. I even prefer Mama´s Gun over Baduizm. Urban Hang Suite and Brown Sugar are a tad better than Embrya and Vooodoo but still,Voodoo and Embrya are two seriously underrated albums ( despite Voodoo being number one album people still diss Voodooo and Embrya a lot ). | |

And I'm just now warming up to Embrya. Didn't like it for a long time because, like most fans, I wanted the "part 2" of their debut, ya know? Same with Mama's Gun. As for Voodoo, it never fully grew on me and I only fet How Does it Feel and Devil's Pie.

I don't know bout this one, bruh. The album was fair enough, but it didn't approach 3 Feet High... in terms of creativity, innovation or sales. ________________

I second Mutha on this one. 3FHAR was going to be hard to match, but DLSID was a little darker because they were being boxed in by their own creation. Arguably, DLSID set the stage for the rest of their career, and (arguably) became the best group in hip-hop, as opposed to just being the most creative one. Plus, "A Roller Skating Jam . . ." rivals anything on 3FHAR, and "Oodles of O's" is still that killer. Sticking with creative follow ups on the hip-hop tip, I'll take Digable Planets -- Blowout Comb Public Enemy -- It Takes A Nation of Millions . . . Ice Cube -- Death Certificate KMD -- Bl_ck B_st_rds Jungle Brothers -- Done By The Forces of Nature Ice-T -- The Iceberg Common -- Resurrection Props will be withheld until the showing and proving has commenced. -- Aaron McGruder

Well, I see it as more of "edgier" De La and maybe not so much "more creative". They felt they had to come a bit "rougher" since cats was playin' 'em out to be hippies and shit. So yeah, maybe "creative" doesn't work there. New World Order (NWO) - Bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher: Deal with it, muthafuckas!

Plus, "A Roller Skating Jam . . ." rivals anything on 3FHAR, and "Oodles of O's" is still that killer. I recall doing a LOT of apologetics -- and only half-convinced myself -- around this CD. There were great moments. "A Roller Skating Jam," and "Oodles of Os" were hot. And having not heard the CD album in years, I think I recall bumping "Afro Connections..." and "Fanatic of the B Word" quite a bit.  But I probably only played that CD all the way through maybe twice. Just didn't provide the visionary vibe for me that 3 Feet did.________________

Um, SITKOL is his highest-selling album. BTW, when I mentioned Journey Through..., I didn't realize the original post said "much more creative and innovative." JTTSLOP is certainly creative, but I wouldn't say it's "much more" so than SITKOL. | |
