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

I can pretty much tell from your username that you and I have dissimilar views on hip-hop.
The Craft is a pale comparison to Blackalicious's better work and it makes me sad.
The Craft :: Melodica : Any Roots albums post TFA :: Organix

Look, I agree that this may be their worst album, BUT that doesn't make it a bad album. But, I guess we can agree to disagree. Oh, and I'm not quite sure what the colons mean, but you are saying that the Roots' last couple albums are not up to par with Organix? I also totally agree, but I still think that Phren and TTP were still solid albums as well. Coincedentally, they've received more awards and nominations for these last 2, and I don't think they sold out in any way, but they did try and target a wider audience, as this is their livelihood, and they are trying to make money as well as art (whereas nowadays most rappes are just trying to make money). I am hoping Game Theory will get back to that Illadelph and TFA level; we'll see now that they are leading the DefJam Left under Jay-Z.
