One of the most slept on classics in the Wu catalogue. Cappadonna "sling raps like crack on the street" and if you ever doubted his ability on the mic this album should leave no doubt as to his skills. Every track on this album is worth a listen and with help from his Wu brethren on tracks like "Super Ninjaz" with U-God (who delivers one of his best verses ever) & Method Man, "Oh Donna" which sees him and Ghostface sling darts back and forth & "Dart Throwin" featuring Raekwon & Tical once more where Cappadonna preaches "I opened up my rap Bible then the light came over the children". And of course not forgettin the incredible "Run" which still sounds as hot as it did when it came out. Donna crafts a grimy album his unique rap style suits the beats perfectly and he drops gems throughout nothing more you could really ask for.
Snoop Dogg - The Last Meal (2000)
Oh my days listening to this last night brought back some memories. Snoop D O Double G was officially back on the map with this one. So many bangers "Hennesy & Budah", "True Lies", "Go Away", "Stacey Adams" all oozing that vintage Snoop flava that only he can bring. Like most Snoop albums (cluttered with maybe one two many tracks) it has skippable moments but they are kept to a minimum on this release (unlike Blue Carpet Treatment damn that was some forgettable shit) and Snoop's swagger carries him through any moments of lack luster lyricism that may occur. And when Snoop finally does decide to call it a day and put the mic down tracks like "Y'all gone miss me" are gonna be gettin heavy spins in my player for the simple fact that there will only ever be one Snoop Dogg.
Sticky Fingaz - Black Trash:The Autobiography of Kirk Jones (2003)
Back in the day I wanted a copy of this album so bad it was ridiculous. For whatever reason (probably money) I didn't get to listen to it till a few years after but boy was it worth the wait. This album is probably the greatest rap concept album of all time. During this album Sticky talks to God, raps as if he were the almighty dollar, explains that his dogs are like his guns, imagines he was white while also finding time to get personal on tracks like "Baby Brother" & "Sister I'm sorry" all in one album.
One of the highlights of the album "The State VS Kirk Jones" sees Rah Digga as the judge and Cannabis and Redman cross examining witness' on the stand (one of whom is Superb) the result pure entertainment. If you're a fan of story telling and great wit and sense of humor then this is the album for you. Don't be an idiot like me and not buy it beacause of money issues beg borrow steal download whatever you have to do to get a copy of this album DO IT NOW. Then when you got the cheddar go and buy it I still plan to.
Cam'ron - Confessions of Fire (1998)
Yo do not be put off by the album cover Cam'ron was on top form when he dropped this creating some of his best work still to this day. "357" is still the best Cam track ever and tracks like "Glory" and "Death" sill hit hard and show killa Cam at his peak on the mic. I forgot how dope this guy was at one time the only let down is this album does have alot of filler but when the shit is fire it is off the chain. Like the song "D Rugs" where Cam talks of drugs as if it were a person. And for any haters that claim he can't spit the last track on the album is dedicated to them personally with the brilliant "Who's Nice" where he drops gems like "Im to the point like Stoudamire" and "Now we eat at houlihans's /seen Ed Lover and Doctor Dre /we told them niggas Who the Man". Harlem world at it's finest
