Death Certificate is better. I think lyrically they're equal (DC might have a slight edge), but I just like the overall production on DC better. (No offense Bomb Squad.)

However, I should note that I haven't heard the remastered version of AMW with the bonus EP.

As for Redman, Dare Iz a Darkside is easily his best album. He improves on his style from Whut and appears more focused than on Muddy Waters (which I'd consider his second best).

GODDAMN YOU FUCKS NO NOTHING ABOUT RAP.
Sorry Blue Milk, I was gone yesterday. Take that Roots album and shove it ups somebody's ass. Redman albums are pretty much solid if you like his flow. And motherfucker Amerikkka's Most Wanted is awesome. I personally like Death Certificate a bit more, but AMW is insanely awesome, and if you can, get the newer version with the Kill at Will EP added to it. The "Endagered Species" Remix and "Jackin for Beats" make it worth it.

But, If you are even considering buying a Missy Elliot album, your rap pass should revoked.

Ironic.


But anyway, I listened to clips of the Roots and Missy Elliot albums after people have been suggesting them to me FOREVER, and I didn't really like either so I dropped them. I do enjoy the Roots album that I own though, so whatever.

Is Eazy-Duz-It good?

I have a personal vendetta against The Roots after seeing what is probably the worst show I have ever attended. I haven't heard Eazy Duz It in so long I don't even know what's on it.

Here's the thing about Eazy: his voice is so awesome that you forget he couldn't really rap. Not in the traditional sense. Cube wrote everything for him in the NWA days. Speaking of which, do you have Efil4zaggin? Probably one of my top 10 rap rekkids ever. Not cos its good, but its so goddamn gangsta I can't over it. Every song is about murder rape and robbery.

Yeah I figured that about Eazy. He's not really talented but his style and humor is enough to carry an album.

And yeah, I've got Efil4zaggin. I think it's incredibly underrated -- I don't know if I'd go as far as putting it as one of the top 10 rap records of all time, but it's definitely a classic to me. I listen to it a hell of a lot more than I listen to Straight Outta Compton.

Cube absolutely rips them apart on "No Vaseline" though.

Oh yeah. One of the best disses ever. Death Certificate has ALOT of awesome, angry ass songs. Fuck, even throwaways like Black Korea are fucking sick.

My faves on that album are Summer Vacation, Bird in the Hand, and Color Blind. I still rank that as my number one rap record of all time, but mostly because it was all I listened to in 8th grade.

You have Predator and Lethal Injection? Lethal Injection was kinda dissapointing when it was released, but it really grew on me. There's 3 or 4 standouts on there.

don't go near airports either

Nope, but I'll probably get around to them eventually. I found Predator used a couple months ago, but listened to a few bits and pieces of the first few tracks and decided it was something I could wait on.

Leathal Injection rulez
