Im a 51 year old white guy, and this is one of my favorite rap albums. Folks are sleeping on this Funkadelic fueled, afrocentric banger.

No love for Strange Ways, my personal fav DOOM track

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

this has been one of my favorite albums ever since i can remember growing up and i just picked up a cd i found of it the other day

keep working family

We The People was my one of son's first favorite songs when he was 2. Watching him say 'Shithole!' is something I'll always remember. I had the video and SNL performance downloaded for him to watch and even got him a Tribe t-shirt. The Anderson .Paak Kendrick and Andre features are definite highlights. The insrumental end of Conrad Tokyo always gets turned up.

Maturing is asking yourself if It Was Written was better than Illmatic or if ATLiens was better than Aquemini even if you never change your mind.

Lupe is my favorite rapper. Ever since hearing his narrative on The Cool i knew dude was different and he continually proves me right with every release.

Classic album. Top 3 release of 2000 for me.

This album is awesome, at the same time it's hardcore, chill and grimey.

Been waiting for this one! Classic Talib and Hi Tek

Rome is the king of NYC no question, bringing back the Big L and Half-A-Mil vibes.

really enjoyed this video

Keep going and reviewing the classics.

earned my sub

I've been listening to HS since back in the day and let me tell, Nocturnal is hands down one of the most underrated albums.

It’s crazy how much hip hop and rap content gets pumped out every year. I took on a challenge of my own where I tried to listen to every hip hop project that dropped this year. I ended up listening to 210 and yet there was at least 20 projects in your list that I totally missed. Hip Hop is certainly not dead

where is K-Rino?

Thanks for the channel. Any Sir Menelik/Scaramanga recommendations. Woods mentioned him in an interview and was wondering where to start

This is probably the LP I have played the most in my lifetime. Yes it doesn't have the finesse or complexities of Paul's Boutique, but for me this is quintessential Beastie Boys. Raw, hard beats, clever playful lyrics and delivery. Fight For Your Right and Girls are my two least favorite tracks on the album, I skip those. But everything else is quality. My top 3 tracks are The New Style (ATF), Paul Revere and Posse in Effect.

I got this album on cd twice is very easy to find just like run dmc beastie boys albums never ever disappoints ever of there albums they always step there game up I got so many memories of this album as well at the age of 5 my brother used to play these albums especially this album heavily in 87 because this was around the time my first introduction to rap music as well back in 1987 this is beyond classic and the plane crash album cover is a masterpiece props to Eminem for using that cover on one of his albums that could've been better. Great review once again happy 2025 to you looking forward to dope hip-hop album reviews in 2025 for this year to come peace out and take care

I got this album on cd cassette and vinyl as well dope album by run dmc to me there albums never disappoints this is there huge hip-hop album that pushed them to.the mainstream the first popular at that back in 87 my brother and his friend went to there concert they have came to do a show in South Carolina I remember because I was 5 years old I was so happy for my brother and his friend. Great review and take care peace so marry memories hearing this album back in 87

Easily in my 90's Top 5 ! Ditc at its best.

Taking it back to the late 80s with this one I'm a huge fan of the fat boys since the age of 5 in 1987 my introduction to the fat boys was my favorite hip hop movie of all time is krush groove the first hip hop I seen at 5 years old I got almost every fat boys album on mostly cassette tapes and one on vinyl most is there 80s releases I got to get there early 90s releases. I got crushin on cassette twice and I got crushin on vinyl as well congratulations because we got the same release on vinyl this album is dope it gives what hip-hop in the 80s were dope review take care and happy new year I be looking forward for 2025

C-bo is not from the Bay Area.

BooM! GREAT ALBUM!

Im just loving your channel, dude. I grew up around literal corn fields and started digging hip hop around 12 years old (93). No one around me understood it, but thanks to arsenio hall and soul train and in living color, i was turned onto (and loved) it. My era faves? Gang starr, beasties, tribe called quest, nas, mobb deep. Plenty of g funk i adore too, but the grimy style of new york rap always hit me harder. Keep the work up!

Excellent list!

I got this album on cd I was 8 years old when hip-hop was on the right path afro centric conscious pro black era my Era in hip-hop 1990 poor right teachers are so underaded I can play there music right with public enemy, boogie down productions, x clan, brand nubian, professor griff, Paris, blood of Abraham and others. Holy interlect is a classic great review and I love the vinyl you got peace and happy holidays

amazing list, you truly are a tasteful hip hop enthusiast, keep it up!

There were that many? /Jk

Damn bro u never fail to put me on, also big up for The Thief Next To Jesus on n1 cuz this album is so underrated, Ka never failed to deliver the most beautiful sample with the perfect lyrics that you have to read to even understand and even then u wont prolly know what he meant cuz he was so smart. Thanks for another great video. RIP Ka

Got good taste nice list I’m check out sum Artist I’ve never heard of

This list is incredible, I think your self proclaimed name fits and I’m excited to see more videos from you in the future. One album I am dying to see someone buy especially you review is Shadow Runner by Vega7the ronin, my personal album of the year. (Ka would be my #1 if I hadn’t heard it)

Dope list, thought this year was great for hip-hop especially with last year being on the slower side, so many great albums. If I had to drop my own top 10 albums wise 1. Doechii - Alligator Bites Never Heal 2. Vince Staples - Dark Times 3. Tyler, the Creator - Chromokopia 4. Blu & Exile - Love (the) Ominous World 5. Lupe Fiasco - Samurai 6. Denzel Curry - King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2 7. Kendrick Lamar - GNX 8. Chief Keef - Almighty So 2 9. Common - The Auditorium Vol. 1 10. ScHoolboy Q - Blue Lips Shoutout to We Dont Trust You and RICHAXXHAITIAN as well

Nice list. Thanks for doing the work to put this together! Some of my picks that didn’t make your list: Cavalier - Different Type Time / Chuck Strangers - A Forsaken Lover’s Plea / Phiik & Lungs - Carrot Season
