Actually, I didn't buy the CD. Back in 1997 I first heard it in a friends car. I liked it so much, he gave me the CD.

Funny coming from someone with Will Smith, Vanilla Ice, and DC Talk in their collection

I'd hate hip hop, too, if that's all I had to listen to.

So many other cd's I forget. A lot of old school hip hop is good, but not everyone heard it, but if you do, listen to the words.

Great list. I would agree with all of them, except maybe the Low End Theory. I think Beats, Rhymes, and Life is better.

 

[murphy55d]

Without question The Chronic. Dr.Dre is a genius.

 

[gigapet]
