[DJ Redrum]

It would have probably worked out better having a limit or so for the quality, rather than going off on the quantity in my opinion. There isn't to many albums which I feel reach the status of 'classic' that can be fully played from start/finish - no fillers included.

Crazy - I Shed Tears For The World
Legend Man - Pressure & Pain
Mad CJ Mac - True Game
Y-D - Give It Up 2 G's

About it for me on the full replay value.

Masta Ace is hella dope too! Just haven't picked up any full albums of his, just a bunch of different tracks here and there, I need to pick em all up. I know that Inc.

Masta Ace is ill you should check out Disposable Arts & A Long Hot Summer if you haven't already dope conceptual masterpieces. Most recently eMC- The Show which was released last year the album features Masta Ace, Stricklin, Wordsworth & Punchline classic from start to end.

I know that shit, I've been bumping it since it came out. Great chemistry on that, but its not one of my all time favorite albums tho. Say Now and Winds of Change are sick.
