Those are Down South Classics, don't hate on Mr. Ice Cream Man.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

"Hate" doesn't even begin to describe what I feel for "Mr. Ice Cream Man." He took one of the most universally loved titles and perverted it.

based on your two purchases Mike, i don't think u'll like some of these recommendations. sounds like you like creativity with some sort of non-violent, gangsta, materialistic content. is that correct?

Peep both Digable Planets releases
-Reachin' & Blowout Comb

DeLa Soul's - Stakes is High is classic

let me know if my above assessment is correct and i'll recommend some more

(Anybody that recommends mase needs to be beaten )

De La - 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul is Dead, Stakes is High
Digable Planets - Reachin', Blowout Comb
Camp Lo - Uptown Saturday Night
Digital Underground - Sex Packets
Queen Latifah - All Hail to the Queen
3rd Bass - The Cactus Album
Common - Be, Electric Circus
Talib Kweli - The Beautiful Struggle
Black Star - Black Star (Talib and Mos Def)
P.E. - Everything they made

Get some conscious shit. Fuck that wack ass gangsta and crunk shit. That shit's for cowards.

Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full, Follow The Leader
Rakim - The 18th Letter/The Book of Life
A Tribe Called Quest - All of their shit
The Jungle Brothers - Straight Out the Jungle

like you never owned a copy
of Harlem World

DirtyChris said:

If I had ever owned something as wack as Harlem World, my crew would tar and feather me and then my entire family.

No wack shit for me. Sorry.

Everytime I think about "Juvenile", all that I can remember is his first song that had gotten airplay for the video. I used to like him and "The Hot Boys" when I was younger. Now, everytime I think about "Juve" all I can do is go, "Lieu Ween gaht beeg baws. Lieu Ween uh beeg bawlah. Lieu Ween uh stick yah up. Lieu Ween....Lieu Ween, Lieu...," stop me, now.

I can recognize greatness
and I can also recognize wackness
(i.e. Harlem World)
but I have my guilty pleasures
just like anyone else

I DEFINITELY wouldn't rank HW
a top 20 (let alone top 10) hip hop album
or anything like that

I was just naming albums from my collection
that were a part of the soundtrack to my adolescence
when hiphop/rap was at climax (it appears)
and those are just a small few

oh yeah... and if I were you
I wouldn't let "my crew" validate me
we all go through that though
you'll grow out of it

Always remember, you are what you attract. So, if you like wackness then your crew is probably wack. Just a headsup.

MuthaFunka said:

Word is bond. Wack Hip-Hop is a no go. When one claims to rep Hip-Hop, they have to come correct.
[Edited 7/19/07 12:04pm]

... and basically any album by Outkast.

Preach!

MuthaFunka said:

i have the fugees and it was written albums too!

some good ones to have are:

lauryn hill-the miseducation of lauryn hill
kanye west-late registration
biggie-ready to die(you'll enjoy the 80's samples)
2pac-all eyez on me
salt n pepa-very necessary

some run dmc and public enemy stuff I guess

MuthaFunka said:

ironically, my friends are (for the most part)
on opposite pages musically, than I am...
so I guess that makes me "wack"

I'm sure that would be of
importance to an adolescent
or someone with low self esteem

labels mean nothing to me

Ice Cube - Greatest Hits
A Tribe Called Quest - The Love Movement
A Tribe Called Quest - The Anthology *MUST*
Digable Planets - Reachin
Foxy Brown - Ill Na Na
Lauryn Hill - Miseducation
Missy Elliot - Miss E
Missy Elliot - Da Real World
BIG - Ready to Die
Nas - Illmatic
