Creepin on ah Come Up (Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, 1994)
Not exactly my kind of rap so I found it hard to pay too close attention to but I definitely appreciate the gritty, verging on avant garde vibe it has. And I really love Foe the Love of $.
Choice cuts: Mr. Ouija, No Surrender, Foe the Love of $
The Shining (J Dilla, 2006)
I dunno, it has a lot of energy and potential at the beginning but then it kind of fizzled out for me. I like how the guests were chosen in a Kanye-like way, to add to the aesthetic of the album as a whole rather than to feature the best rapping, but frankly I thought they could've made better choices in that regard. I also found it weird how they all talked about Dilla like he was still around, it would've been cool to hear something like a eulogy or even just a story about him. Also while all the beats are obviously good, few got me stoked the way the ones on Donuts do.
Choice cuts: Geek Down, E=MC2, Won't Do
