1998 = The Most Underrated Year In Hip-Hop History

[Wacky D]

Mostly superior quality and consistency. With the beats rhymes and concepts. Has to be some impact - otherwise I'll call the record a personal classic.

Classics from 1998
IDAHIH
Capital Punishment
Moment Of Truth
Mos and Kweli

That's just off the top. I could be forgetting others.

all these albums have somewhat of a similar sound.

"flesh of my flesh" doesn't fit the mold.

All of those albums are better then Flesh lyrically too. There not just better produced.

So you think Flesh of my Flesh is better produced than Moment of Truth?

I honestly don't remember much from "moment of truth".

the fact that it didn't stick with me pretty much says all that needs to be said.

I actually got it mixed up with their following album in a recent thread.

You're sleeping. Do yourself a favor and revisit that album. Wall to wall bangers.

he doesn't like boom bap.

 

[Wacky D]

I luv boom-bap.

I just don't think that everything has to be boom-bap.

that's the difference.

royalty is one of my favorite songs AND beats of '98 actually.

 

[Big Mel]

so given that, and given Gang Starr's reputation in general, you opted out of checking Moment Of Truth?

Aquemini should have been on my list.

[Wacky D]

I didn't opt out of anything.

I heard the moment of truth album back then. it just didn't stick with me like that. I didn't say anything bad about it. just nothing about it struck me as classic aside from maybe a few cuts.

@mobbinfms
aquemini is like 3 1/2 mics.

So I take it you think Flesh is better than Aquemini as well? I can see an argument that Aquemini ain't classic - but it's 4.5 at a minimum.

At this point I need you to list the classic tracks off Flesh. I must be missing something.
