Neither of those are universal classics

Come Home With Me songs get played today. Hey Ma still getting played on NY radio, Oh Boy still getting sampled in contemporary hip hop, nikkas still freestyling over that Welcome to NYC beat.

There’s not a single Purple Haze song that gets played album really isn’t all that good either. Both that album and Midvillainy got strong pushes from that hipster Complex/Pitchfork audience. Madvillany is the higher quality album and more influential to its subset of hip hop.

Nikkas really think Purple Haze has better songs than Good Times, My Brother, Soul Clap, The Life :dwillhuh:

I posted this because this is where their head is at, not because I agree.

Applying their own logic to their own list.... :russ:

Kurtis Mantronik is one of the original beatmakers who inspired all time greats such as DJ Premier, Mannie Fresh, etc.

Asking who the fukk is Mantronix would be like if you were in a basketball discussion and asked who the fukk was David Thompson or Connie Hawkins.



Talk to these nikkas man :whew:

Truth.

Kurt was wild influential.

Mannie Fresh said he took his "whole style" from Mantronix. If you listen to Mantronix, you can hear where Mannie got his sh*t from. Dude was one of the early blueprints for Hip Hop production. Early KRS, T La Rock, Just-Ice, etc. Heavily slept-on, with mad classics.


Kinda sounds like oldschool Miami got some of the sauce from it 2

37-29 is legit.

But that explanation to justify the list was trash. "Classic" has always meant 'classic" in Hip Hop. OB4CL dropped and Rap City had Rae and they talked about how the album was "already a classic in a couple weeks". We always used the term. That's not an internet thing. There are undisputed classics that have nothing to do with the streets. Mad of them.
