Re: Hip Hop Albums you should get if you haven\'t already

Since you mentioned Peanut Butter Wolf, have you ever heard Captain Funkaho? I liked a song of his a long time ago go, but haven't been able to find anything by him since. I'm not a rap expert by any means, incidentally.

No, I haven't heard it, but Stones Throw puts out quality music.

I do agree that Minstrel Show was a little over-hyped, but it is a good album. The production is good (yes, a little familiar, but still good) and the lyrics are on point. And, they are actually "saying something" instead of just talking about rims, and diamonds and sht. But I do know that some people just don't dig LB, so I can accept that.
Seriously, you thought the Craft blows? I thought this was a very creative album, and a very good one.
Handsome Boy Modeling School was a very solid album as well.
Another great album that was slept on was Edan's "Beauty and the Beat". It is a very creative sound, with Edans quality flow. It's kind of like 60s psychedelic rock meets hip hop.
Another solid album was K-OS, "Joyful Rebellion". A bit eclectic at times, but I like it.
