The soundtrack to 'Where the wild things are' and 'Ghostdog'

i do like a good soundtrack and both of these are great Karen O does the 'Where the' and as everyone knows The Rza did 'Ghostdog'

 

If you are talking about the Japanese "score" release of the Ghostdog soundtrack (the REAL one) then agree 100%

The US/international release with just a bunch of rap songs in utter shit.

So many Wu Tang gems for sure, but I've never listened to an album either from a solo member or their collective albums from start to finish more than once...it's always hit and miss...maybe 36 Chambers, but even then I'd have to sit down and physically prevent myself from dragging my cursor over the "Skip" button.

Wu solo-Wise i reckon Liquid Swords is probably the most solid. Heavy Mental by Killah Priest is pretty solid from what i remember, not listened to it for aaaages though.

 

Enta Da Stage by Black Moon is underrated i reckon

I think Nigga Please is one of the top Wu solos and one of the most overlooked albums of all time IMO. Except for Got ya money which was pretty big. also one of the first albums I ever bought.

shifting tides by 2tall...one of my all time favourite albums

then probably every album by bonobo

wu - 36 chambers as well as method man's first solo album

i'd definitely join in on the shinin by smiff n wessun

also probably the storm by ogc...rarely got a skip from me

perhaps also fugee-la...

l'ecole du micro d'argent by iam - phenomenal album

 

 

there are quite a few out there...but i'd say one of the few albums that i can still listen to without wanting to miss a single track would be 2tizzas album...fell in love with it from day one.

True but how are you telling me that people in the late 80s liked slurred up raps over boring muddy beats? To be fair I've never listened to a whole album :) but the hits are not enought to make me want to

Its because they start rhymes better than anyone in the world. 'M.C.s out there you better stand clear EPMD is a world premiere'.

nah man...im serious...

 

its one album that i thinks a masterpiece from start to finish....however cheesey / contrived it might be, i think its amazing....excellently themed - works as one whole - clever shit.

Erick and Parrish Mumbling Dross. I get what you're saying but the delivery is boring as. Like in that line he goes "MCs out theiiiire (awkward 1 and a half beat pause), you better stand clear (another weird beat) EPMD is a world premiere", so the line loses its flow.

 

The opener that always struck me as the best in rap ever (kind of cheesy I know) is Changes by Tupac. I think the fact that it starts with "and" makes it good. "And still I see no changes, I wake up in the morning and I ask myself: is life worth living should I blast myself?" I'm not even that big a fan of the song or artist but wow.

 

EPMD are meant to be proper golden age and that's probs my favourite era but I don't actually dig a lot of the typical golden age stuff like juice crew, EPMD, special ed, Jungle Bros...there must be more.
