We are literally watching the 24 hour news networks’ Jumping the Shark moment.

That San Bernardino Sheriff logo with badge and Santa hat is distracting. Terrible juxtaposition.

I agree. Not a top album.

Man, turning people onto great great hip hop albums is so fun. I dig the passion you’re putting into this. Looking forward to getting the countdown rolling.

Holy cow 1989 and 1990 were the years of amazing releases. I am sure a couple others will make it into the top ten. This LL album, highly anticipated, was a letdown. Still had some good tracks.

Miami with 2 Live Crew, Too Short Oakland, etc. I think all politics is local. And early hip-hop allowed for turf rivalry and local bravado! Remember theses guys were kings in their…

Interesting take, not sure I agree but I appreciate your opinion. Looking back that album came out a full 4 years before the LA Riots. I always equated the anger and angst of this album with the the catalyst that was to come - Daryl Gates, Rodney King beating, cops’ acquittal, and so forth. I’m from SoCal so it’s a…
