Did you ever see MakeUp or Nation of Ulysses?

MakeUp put on probably one of the best shows i have ever seen. and i have literally seen thousands of bands

 

[oldirtyku]

Naw I never seen either of them. I mean it was so long ago I can not even remember all the shows I went 2... I don't listen to that stuff anymore.

I listen to whatever Hip Hop my friend who is a DJ burns me.

can't believe yall left out Geto boys. The old shit was really cool. I also like all of outkast really old stuff. I still jam out to "elevators" all the time.
Me and You, your moma and your couzin too.

 

[kingbill]

Deltron 30-30 is nice man. I have his first single on wax for Mr Dobilina. It had the sickest B side track called burnt which had him and the entire Hieroglyphics crew on it. The Hieroglyphics album was also tight.

You know Del is Ice Cubes cousin?

I love Def Juxs also...

Yeah Del is Tight, he's doing that Gorrillaz shit with Automator...I hated it at first but the last album grew on me, as much as a Pop album can grow on a person.

We had the entire Hieroglyphics crew in town about 12 years ago for an outdoor music festival. Sick Show.

 

[go2guy]

1. Ice Cube - Death Certificate An all-time classic
Others: Juvenile - 400 Degrees; Tribe - Low End Theory, Instinctive Travels and Midnight Maurauders; Jay-Z- Reasonable Doubt; Wu-Tang - Enter The Wu-Tang; Biggie - Ready to Die; Lil' Flip - Undaground Legend; 2Pac - Too many albums to name as a matter of fact I can't even name the rest of my favorite albums The Chronic, Illmatic, the Infamous and etc. because it's too many but nothing in my opinion was better than Death Certificate.

I want to say "Rappers Delight" but that is too easy?

Nope not Rappers Delight (which is considered the 1st commercial rap album). You are correct that would be too easy.

The answer is...........

























King Tim III (Personality Jock) by Fatback

Actually these guys had some good old school Funk if anybody is into it (kinda on the Slave/Steve Arrington type vibe)
