The Future Sound - The Whole Shabang Volume 1 (1992) (Full Album)

[@saintjasin]

For me, this is the most slept on/underrated album in Hip Hop history. We needed more albums like these...

[@littleoldal]

in hip hop history? stahpit.

[@saintjasin]

@@littleoldal vs. what?

[@littleoldal]

@@saintjasin vs nothing. i listened to the album this morning at work, and it's not that great as a whole. there are a couple/few decent joints, though. i did feel that they should've blown up more back when they first came out. like umcs or so. but i suppose i now understand why it didn't.

@@littleoldal Hey bro...! This is one of the distant cousins of T.F.S. We hear you...! lol. We appreciate your input as far as our album. We were only 20 years old when we made these songs, and we didn’t even expect anyone to pick us up on a label. But as far as we’re concerned, it came outta nowhere when Atlantic Records wanted to sign us. We hear you as far as how you critique our input into this culture we all love, but we implore you....give us a chance, and believe....The whole Shabang Vol. II is coming out next year, and we promise you we will try to get you to testify that it’s the best thing you’ve heard in years. We only want respect, and we strive to satisfy every member of our culture, even though we realize it’s impossible to do...! We thank you so much for all your input...! - The Future Sound. “You only hear from motherfuckers when shit gets better”- “Look into the mirror”, The Future Sound. ✌🏾

YOU.....!!! Just wait brother......!!! You just wait.....!!! If you thought that about Vol. 1.....wait until you hear Vol. II..!!! We love you...!!! And you’re who we want to show how time has no meaning...they may have caught up to us now, but they’re still a thousand years behind! Just you wait and see!!! ❤️✌🏾

Thanks for posting this.... They were a a slept on duo... This was released the same day (April 7 1992) as Das Efx Dead Serious Album.... So this is probably why it didn't get the hype it should have.

[@elviscardona6156]

This album takes me back to a certain period in my life. I banged to this heavy. Great memories .

[@ericshelton5066]

where are these guys at now i spoke to dame during the hard knock life your back in 97 i think and i asked him about them he said they were producers he acted like he wasn't up for any chit chat lol

[@IvanOrdell]

According to the DJ Clark Kent interview on Juan Ep, this is what Dame played to him when they first met in a meeting at Atlantic records.

One of the most influential album of all.of all of hip hop

[@charlesmeadows6718]

Heard it before checking it again!!!

[@Sgtgee]

This was that album that gave Dame dash’s humble early beginnings as a music manager, to only a dope influential and not to mention, intellectual rap duo before their time who basically was kept underground unfortunately but basically still influenced the likes of more pushed main stream quirky rap groups at that time such as Black sheep, KMD the UMCs, Zhigge and many more from a lyrical and deliverable standpoint. Loved these guys. This is the hip hop I grew up to.

[@TheEmeraldCity]

Wrong! Black sheep, KMD the UMCs drop before this. This album and group bit off the style of those groups, thats why it got no push because it was a water down version of the sound and the production was sub par compare 2 the others.

[@keithmaddox1239]

I have haven't heard this in a long time but I got it on tape..cool album..shame it's only one album still I give more props to KZbin and hip-hop classics 👏

[@kuntakintango6742]

Good group, good album. I think they had beef with Brand Nubian (Lord Jamar)

[@andrewalexander8018]

[@futureworldx1627]

I remember these guys.

[@filmgreatmasterpeace8223]

Thank u , i've bought it right now , a very underrted posse... And great album :)

[@lindam.1058]

Love this song! Last time I listened to it was in the late 1990's!! Where are they from? Where are they now??

[@desmondwilliams4068]

This is not a good album, but What's a Bro to do is some dope production...

[@TheEmeraldCity]

Was the only good song!

[@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525]

This album got three and a half mics in the Source. The only reason why it didn't get four is because no one had ever heard of them before.

[@desmondwilliams4068]

I get your point I think. But I disagree with the source. And the reason no one ever heard of them is because the album wasn't good...The Source is great, but it is not the standard for how I judge albums.@@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525
