Classics:

Bizzare Ride to the Pharcyde---- The Pharcyde
Cater 2 the D.j. Album 1 and 2----Fat Jack
Riders of the storm--- Boogie Monsters
No need for Alarm ---DEL
Mecca and the Soul Brother----- Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Moment of Truth-----Gang Starr

This is just a very very short list of some of my personal fav's. By no means does this short list come close to the massive amount of records I consider classic. Just a few of them of the top of the dome. By the way, I really dug the Dark Sun Riders joint. It was dope no doubt. I loved the way Brotha J was doing like a "captians log" journal entry type thing, in between each track. Noting his various thought on the mortals that sorrounded him haha, I thought it was dope. Speaking of Brotha J and the riders, you should note that on Cater 2 the DJ ( The second album) part 2, Brotha J has one of the dopest tracks on there. Peace, Duss.

i always had a feeling i'd love that boogiemonsters album but i never got the chance to pick it up. and definately i will check out the brother j verse. IG9, your choices might as well have been part 2 of my original post... we seem to have very similar tastes. hopefully they got that boogiemonsters joint on itunes... honeydips in gotham?

unfortunatley i can't listen to anything by de la post stakes is high. don't know why. i think that de la will always be my favorite hip-hop band for the same reason that ween is my favorite other band. every song is in a different style than the one before it...

yes! you know, i think epmd's best album, regardless of how the two might not have been getting along too well, was definately "business never personal". how bout this one?

If you can find Niggamortis it's the same album as 6 Feet Deep with the extra track "Pass the Shovel" that's totally worth it.

Dj jazzy jeff the magnificent & the return of the magnigicent are good albums. And if you don't already have it, Masters of the Universe by Binary Star is a classic.
