So many to choose from that year. Wutang, Common, Mood.. The jiggy, 80s-sample era was in full effect and everyone was looking for that next hit from a popular 80s loop. Even Mic Geronimo. Dude single handedly destroyed his own career following trends

Not even The Source was fukking with it. shyt was certified mid :mjtf: OP trippin
The source gave Daily Operation and Fear of a Black Planet 3.5 mics. Think about that for a minute. 2 of the greatest albums of all time which are certified classics. And look who wrote the review. Elliot Wilson was a certified dikk gobbler and he still is.

:camby:you must be trollin
FOABP is a top 2 PE album of all time and DO is a top 3 gang starr album. 4 of PE’s best songs ever were on FOABP And if I’ve got to describe Daily Operation to you, then we don’t even need to be having a conversation about hip hop music. Go and listen to your migos and Drake.

The disrespect... always loved the rapping on this. They fit the beats perfectly. The subject matter wasn't that deep - fly shyt, 70s flicks, but not everything has to be political or psychological.

The single releases had some of the instrumentals. They should release all the instrumentals for a 30th anniversary release, they could do instrumentals plus all the dope b-sides and remixes.

Its a classic album but theres probably like 30 of them in 1997. With equally dope production in different styles.

Coded, not gibberish.

It really wasn’t

They was just name dropping Blaxploitation movies and characters

It was no different than Supreme Clientele with the abstract way of rhymes

we gotta be real, the shyt sounded fly but them nikkas spitting straight gibberish


With all that said

Coolie High is one the smoothest songs of all time, that beat is one of the coldest and both of their flows on that shyt was perfect

You have to know the movies and stuff they're drawing from. I understand at least 75% of USN and could probably figure out the rest if I tried.
