Both are criminally underrated in my eyes (don't get brought up in "best albums of their time" discussions NEARLY as much as they should.)

Hell Hath No Fury & Doe or Die.

Both are criminally underrated in my eyes (don't get brought up in "best albums of their time" discussions NEARLY as much as they should.)

do or die has its props and is not a classic.
az's performances on the album are what you could rate as classic submissions of lyricism.
yet,..when it comes to the full package of the actual sum of the whole.

it fell flat and still falls flat as a classic. especially how much the overall direction track to track falls flat.

incomparison to real classics of that exact time.

good gateway album for a female in that time frame.

as i turned hordes of women onto az...in that time.

beginning with m'sjones pink cassette cover to don'ttake it personal and az's rather unique bside to sugarhill.

including the subsequent release of do or die.

yet i think it was more females being into az's physical aesthetic.
while, not being a true barometer of the actual records on the album.

hell hath no fury is one of the worst electric circus tries to make alternative produced trap rap that failed ever.

shyt sucks and is offbrand production wise.

lyrically, it lacks convincability much needed for the subject matter and genre.

plus it lacks punch lyrically to the material on the wgi4c mixtapes predating it.

which built the fervor for the record to be unshelved and released.

record is awful,.....the worst records in that period of releases well.

where fat joe and ray cash released in the same time show how inferior the album is from two different perspectives. plus jeezy's release marginalizes hellhath on his second album as well. during that time frame,..record is the epitome of unconvincing offbrand trash.

easily one of the worst records of the past six years as well.

i still remember how awful a spin this record was and still is.

even keys open doors was garbage.

clipse and pusha t's imaginary cred are just the byproduct. of being marketed as eclectic wack alternative trap rap by the company who took over pr of atmosphere.

if notfor this connection,..the clipse would not be saved to draw in any capacity.

I'm probably gonna get clowned for this but you know what, not a fukk will be given.

One album that comes to mind is Digable Planets - Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space). The samples in that album with the slick lyrics just put you in a mood where it will make you think back to when you was out for the summer and you was just enjoying life. I can put that CD in and just listen straight thru.

The other album is Sticky Fingaz - Blacktrash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones. To me this was way ahead of it's time in concept. The entire album tells a story, but to me this one went deeper than that. That's just me. Both albums are classic.
