The Long March EP

CD-Charts > Music > West Coast
by: Blue Scholars

Release Date October 23, 2007
Solid EP. I personally like it more than their two full albums. It's simple, but thats what Blue Scholars does well. Geo has many a good rhyme and Sabzi's beats are always true

Release Date March 20, 2001
I'm not implying i was friends with the cats (because i wasn't). But i'd like the 2 songs i'd heard from their first album, but had know idea this album ever came out til a friend gave it to me. I listened to that album all the rest of freshman year, I loved it!

Since some reviewers put their favorite tracks down, i'll give it a try also. Hmm.. lol, i think it's Groupie Theory (that intro is hilarious!)... oo! Hey you! is butter too. Those two.

Dag, the memories this album is bringing back...

In a Major Way

CD-Charts > Music > West Coast
by: E-40

Release Date March 14, 1995
E-40 was a long-time veteran in the rap game when his seminal album "In a Major Way" was released in 1995. It's really the album that got E-40 noticed by a mainstream audience, and pushed Jive to ultimately stuff more money into his forthcoming albums (the next being "Hall Of Game" [1996]). This album rides the line between independent and mainstream lines ridiculously well. As far as rapping goes, E-40 is at the very top of his game, boasting his slang-filled flow with a cunning wit, that is arguably in peak form. Most notably, some of the best west coast rappers came to support Forty's untouchable style - 2Pac, Mac Mall & Spice 1 - who all perform flawlessly on the classic posse track "Dusted 'n' Disgusted".

"Da Bumble" kicks off the ... Read More:

I cant say enough good things about this cd.To me, this and public enemy's apocalypse 91 are the greatest hip hop albums of all time. EVERY track is great on this disc and it is not dated at all, a true classic from the true OG.

3rd Eye Vision

CD-Charts > Music > West Coast
by: Hieroglyphics

Release Date March 06, 2001
Hieroglyphics are a collective of rap artists similar to Wu-Tang or Jurrassic Five, though their neatly organized production would squarely place them more towards the latter. Hardly anyone shouuld accuse this group of not being able to compose admirable rhymes, and for the lengthy 70+ minute run-time, hip-hop fans are treated to the lyrically hungry flows, swapped around by talented members on top of predictable but worthy beats. Now considering this was released in the late 90's, when returning to the disc one does get some excellent old-school (but not THAT old-school) offerings, but many tracks seem to have not aged that well. While the intsrument sampling compliments the emcee's determined, eccentric raps quite well, the dated production feels restrictive and ... Read More:

Old School Rap, Vol. 1-4

CD-Charts > Music > West Coast
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 06, 2000
Why oh why did the old Rapmasters series I used to rock in high school go out of print? Now that was classic old school hip hop compiled by people who lived through the era and knew from what they chose! This series is a mediocre substitute at best.

Granted, there are quite a few genuine classics on here...Wild Wild West, The Message, The Show, Paid in Full, etc. But there are also a few questionable selections...Ice Ice Baby? Really?!?

On the plus side, the curse words, etc., are not edited out on most of the songs on discs 1,2, & 4, and you do get to hear some of these classics as the artists originally intended. No, I'm not fiendin' for foul language. I just want to hear these songs as they were originally released. Think the chorus of The Roof ... Read More:
