Albums In Rotation

ILLogic · 06-13-2009, 09:04 PM

My version of Shyne's recent thread.

Strange Fruit Project - The Healing

Not the typical album in my rotation, but it's been getting a decent amount of play from me at night time cause it's easy to listen to and sounds smooth, also getting play in the morning when I wake up cause it's easy to blaze to when barely awake. While I do like alternative rap, I'm picky about it, and normally this cd wouldn't cut it on lyrics alone, but the beats are cool and the lyrics aren't that bad, but could definitely be improved. In total, this is a decent album, but is a limited one and I find myself spinning it at certain and specific times.

7/10

Native Nuttz - The Nativez Are Restless

Classic '94 album. Not an Illmatic, but very easy to listen to and has that '94 sound. Not much else to say. Doesn't really have much depth to it and isn't groundbreaking or spectacular in any specific way, but it is genuinely fun to listen to and is very versatile. What makes it a classic is the culmination of the elements of the sound, very natural. While not in the same vein as other classics from that year (and not), like Word...Life, Tical, or A Long Hot Summer, or The 18th Letter. But it's still a classic all the same, just on a lower level than the stereotypical or more obvious ones. In all, this cd is ill for what it is and contains everything that makes a dope album dope!

9.5/10

Peace.

It is the perfect type of album. Not superior lyrics or eat particularly, but merely the combination of them and several other elements that made this album a classic. I knew not too many would agree, but it's a classic, like I said in my first post and like you agreed to, not on the level of the typical classic, but it's still dope for what it is.
