Memory Lane - Death Certificate by Ice Cube

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Those were the days!

[MrSlayer]

1. Yeah, I agree.

Amerikkka's Most Wanted and Lethal Injection are also great.

[mark414]

2. no love for the predator?

i thought that AMW and DC were stronger albums but i always thought that the predator had the strongest singles...it was a good day, when will they shoot, gangsta's fairytale 2, we had to tear this motherfucker up, check yo self...good stuff

[MrSlayer]

3. Oh Yeah, Predator is great too.

Tear this motherfucker up is great.

Motherfuck Fire Marshall Bill!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. I gets-ih-wicked!!!

[MrSlayer]

8. Stalkin', Walkin' in my big black boots.

The KKK has got three piece suits!
Using niggas like turkey shoots
My motto is..Treat 'Em Like a Prostitute.

Excellent stuff

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. But if I say no violence, devil, you'll never respect mine!

Yeah - definately #2 after It Takes a NAtion of Millions to Hold Us Back in terms of politically charged Hip-Hop.

[MrSlayer]

11. Absolutely.

I can go on just throwing out random lines all night. Rap was some powerful music back then, too bad it's almost all commercial "bling and bitches" crap now. I haven't found a new rapper I liked in 10 years.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. It's in better shape now than ever. I could list myriad great artists who

have taken up that gauntlet recently, in all seriousness.

[MrSlayer]

14. Ok please list a few, I've been out of that loop for a long time.

I like the hardcore type shit.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

16. what exactly do you mean by HardCore ?

[mark414]

17. militant, kill white people stuff?

ha, thats actually my favorite hip hop if thats what he's talking about

ice cube, dead prez...so much anger and raw power and emotion channeled into fantastic fucking music

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. The Ice T Cop Killer stuff was the precedent.

That shit is always good. Like Biggie or Tupac at their heights - way too hard to be allowed to live.

[MrSlayer]

23. You know, real angry lyrics, hard & heavy beats.

Whether it's gangsta, political or just psycho shit. I like the old school style with just the beat and the rapper without all the samples and effects too.

[mark414]

24. ohhh you'd like the coup too

if you haven't heard them either

boots is one bad mf

[MrSlayer]

25. Ok so far I've got...

Dead Prez, the Coup, Immortal Technique, MF Doom and Madlib. Thanks.

[mark414]

26. for mf doom and madlib...

pick up the madvillain - madvillainy album. madlib on the beats and doom on the mic; probably my favorite hip hop album of the last 5 years

[MrSlayer]

27. Cool. Thanks.

[mark414]

20. you heard dead prez?

they're pretty hardcore...

immortal technique is RELENTLESS in his attacks on bush and other like targets...got a few pretty harsh tracks, check him out too

[mark414]

15. yes!

there's so much good hip hop coming out in the last few years

are you familiar with madlib or mf doom? if not, pick up anything that either of those guys have touched...which can be tricky as they both have roughly 800,000 aliases

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. I've been listening to MF Doom's instrumental stuff this week

AWE-FUCKING-SOME!!!!

[mark414]

21. supposedly he's producing ghostface's next album

followup to the fucking BRILLIANT pretty toney album

it should be wild

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Definately sounds promising

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. As are The Predator and Bootlegs and B-Sides.

[MrSlayer]

7. Yeah, Jackin for Beats is cool.

Takes all the popular beats of the time and makes them his own. That was rap's golden age.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

9. When he jacks the Humpty Dance groove- man that's solid fuckig GOLD!

Plus messing with the Bomb Squad in such a sweet way is remarkable.

[TroubleMan]

6. Did my post remind you of this the other day, or were you already

listening to it?

As you know, it's one of my all-time favorites. "Bird In The Hand" is one of my favorite songs.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. It's always in my most played stack
