    It's possible, like, say if you come into a thread about listening to albums and then get visually uncomfortable at one of the mentioned albums.

    for example;
    The f---s wrong with MOP?

    Yeah, because I was expecting to be blown away since he always criticizes my music taste. I was shocked to see the first entry is an album from some C-Listers that I used to listen to as a junior in high school.

    "Ante Up" was the only MOP song I'd ever heard before this.

    I'm stopped in traffic listening in the car right now and am only a few songs in but I'm loving it so far. Production is A1 and it's energetic as f--- which makes me wish I was actually driving. More thoughts later.

    alright, let's get this going for real.

    album #2:
    [​IMG]

    The Clipse & The Re-Up g---, We Got It 4 Cheap, Vol. 2 (2005)
    the clipse were responsible for a sea change in critical and popular attitudes toward rap in the mid-2000s. there were residual, crudely-drawn party lines from the so-called "mainstream-underground" wars, but def jux was no longer a key player, nor was rawkus the same. (predominately white) rap fans who had listened exclusively to aesop rock claimed they now listened exclusively to coke rap. what's impressive is that the clipse were able to be this sort of touchstone while in the midst of one of the worst label purgatories of the decade. the jive debacle left them on the shelf for four years between their two masterpieces, Lord Willin (2002) and h--- Hath No Fury (2006). the second of the We Got It 4 Cheap tapes, which features ab-liva and sandman (credited as the re-up g---), is the best, and one of the key pieces of the form's minor renaissance. listen: http://www.datpiff.com/The-Clipse-We-got-it-4-cheap-Vol-2-mixtape.819.html

    @WPG I didn't get your mention, you have to paste the code for all the mentions or manually tag again.

    Anyway I listened to this once or twice back when I first really got into Clipse, I'll give this a spin again when I get home.

    I'm a big Pusha fan, but haven't heard much of Clipse, especially older material. Gonna check this out sometime soon and i'm pretty keen to listen to it, will report back after listening.

    you should listen to their first two albums. both are absolutely essential, some of the best of their decade.
