This year is ridiculously competitive brehs.
LL came back triumphantly with a Marley Marl helmed album. Vicious on the mic and bodied his feature on the EPMD album.
Rakim, who was already the best rapper to ever do it and a legend, somehow stepped his game up on the mic. Mahogany, the title track and in the ghetto
I liked his album more than Cube's
Q Tip helmed what is a masterpiece to me with Tribe's first album. I like that album more than Cube's too
Grand Puba was a beast and I was a Puba Stan at one point in my life. So many rimless legendary songs on that album. Puba was sharing mic duties though.
G Rap
Streets of New York
I liked his first album more though.
Cube's album isn't my favorite of 1990
But he came and dropped Kill at Will and that pushes him to the top.
Coming out to NY to work with 3rd Bass' producer, ends up running into the Bomb Swuad instead
Album is a five mic classic. Then the EP
Cube getting my vote
