Did no one notice my Below The Heavens cover because of the eerie similarity or over use of the joke?
It's whatever, kind of going more so for personal faves, but it really shouldn't turn into a timesink.
The latter. I just kind of think of it every time the real cover gets shown. Now if there was a gif of Blu's face morphing into bubbles like this:
i could still fuck with it
He already dropped it. You just forgot it to quote it in your mass-quote posts.

Contemplating whether I can get away with three Wu albums on my list - 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, and Cuban Linx. All three albums dominated my life at different times

Only one I thought about keeping out was Pilot Talk, but I am more than okay with it being on that list. Good Kid just came out, but I can easily seeing it making my list in the future. I also didn't want to put two Lupe albums up there, unfair.

ha I meant it as a good thing as ill just watch, pick like 5 ones that I see the most and go from there. That GZA one appeared alot and from the one youtube search it sounded good.
What was the one released to do with that film recently like? I only know of it for the Danny Brown bit on one of them.
The Iron Fist soundtrack? It was pretty good, some highs some lows. The highs are REALLY FUCKING HIGH, but a lot of that is powered by our own deep seated wu-tang stannery.
Couple of these tracks
Are sick as hell tho

Wu - 36 chambers
Biggie - Ready to Die
Kanye - College Dropout
De La Soul - Stakes is High

Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, mAAd City
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
Tupac - Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z.
The Roots - Game Theory
Nas - Illmatic
Busta Rhymes - Big Bang
Notorious BIG - Ready to Die
There are a ton I left off, mostly DMX albums, Jay albums and Cube all of who had a major impact on what I like, but most of those albums had a ton of skippable. I place a premium on cohesive albums. Jay's Reasonable doubt is the strongest one left off, and depending on the day that may be on here. Brooklyn's Finest to 22 Two's is one of the best stretches of song in rap history.
Really hard to knock it down to ten.

A top ten is really hard. It was actually harder than I thought though.
In no particular order:
1) Mos Def & Talib Kweli - Black Star
2) Nas - Illmatic
3) Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor
4) Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon
5) Kanye West - College Dropout
6) Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP
7) Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang
8) Biggie - Ready to Die
9) Dr. Dre - 2001
10) Kendrick Lamar - GKMC
I know its early for GKMC but I already know its something I'll keep coming back to. Another thing with this list is that I tried to keep it one album per artist, I could easily add LR/MBDTF for Ye, SSLP for Em, Black on both sides for Mos Def, IWW/Stillmatic for Nas, etc.
I also really like RD, but Im not a fan of Jay-Z in general.

I seriously had to THINK of the last five. 6-10 is a bit of a stretch. My top 5 came easily.. But the latter.. Lol. But I am definitely happy with my top 5.
1. Eminem - The Eminem Show
2. Outkast- Aquemini
3. Kanye - College Dropout
4. Bone Thugs - E 1999 Eternal
5. Lupe - The Cool
6. Dr. Dre - Chronic 2001
7. Nas - Stillmatic
8. Ludacris - Word of Mouf
9. Kendrick - GKMC (wanted to place this ALOT higher but I'ma let it marinate & see how I feel over time)
10. Meth & Red - Blackout
1. Eminem - The Eminem Show

10. Meth & Red - Blackout
I was also secretely hoping that I wouldn't be the only one to mention Just-Ice and Jeru the Damaja. They deserve more recognition, especially Just-Ice. But it seems I'm alone, again.
