This was the first rap album that my parents let me by back in the day.

This album is definitely one my favorites. Definitely a classic.

Even if I didn't understand the lingo, they were so cool spitting it that it just worked.

Plus, Ski killed those beats...

They were spitting gibberish but the beat for Coolie High is one of the greatest beats of all time




Classic sample of a classic song



I never listened to the album, but this song is one of the smoothest tracks ever made in rap. Is the rest of the album this smooth?

There's 3 albums that I can play in their entirety:

  • Operation Doomsday
  • Soul on Ice
  • Uptown Saturday Night
There's something special about that album that will never be duplicated. It just feels organic to the soul and simply timeless.


Shame Camp Lo never got their due during the time because we were blunted and big wille'ing:francis:

No. There are a couple of other somewhat smooth tracks on the album but the rest of the album isn't as smooth as Coolie High.

Like for example, Sparkle is another smooth joint; both versions of it.





Negro League is another smooth joint
