Why is Camp Lo - Uptown Saturday Night rarely ever discussed as one of the best 90s albums ?

I think the rhymes/content holds it back... they were nice and had their own style, but it's sorta like a 'niche' style that's not for everybody. That production tho- gotdamn Ski.

I thought that too when I first listened to the album for the first time when I was 14 , but now that I watched alot of Blaxpilation films over the years I realized that they got alot of their terminology from there .
that's another reason the shyt was so dope... it really was a concept album

that whole album felt like some 70s shyt... even the videos was throw backs.. the lingo.. everything

Its a very dope album, like 4/5
But not classic, I remember copping that first day after school:whew:

Good ol Tuesday was the best day of the week in the 90's

Edit: the thread title should be OC Jewelz now that was a classic thats rarely discussed

yep, dude's flow is still immaculate to this day.

he was floating on "bright lights" on their new album.

uptown saturday night is a production masterpiece, akin to Real Live's "The Turnaround", The Beatnuts "Street Level/Self-Titled" etc.., it's a shame how disappointing and terrible their sophomore lp was though in comparison.

Uptown Saturday Nighth = undeniable classic. That demo tape was flames too.

I think they just opted to never conform to the industry & paid the price for it. But they still doing they thing, and ill continue to listen.
