Let me know what you think of that Cog, everybodey I know that peeped it has liked it.

N3RO, I'm actually loving this Cognito. There are some weak spots which would bring the ranking down but their are some absolute bangers on here as well. "Violate You" is ridiculous.

"Violate You" is fucking amazing IMO. Aside from "7 School Sins" I dig the whole album, but I know quite a few people hate on "Hollywood" as well. Overall, it's a dope cd that more people should be peeping.

My recent purchases:

Nas & Damian Marley- Distant Relatives (first day of its release)
Eminem- The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show, Recovery, Relapse Refill
Talib Kweli & Hi Tek- Revolutions Per Minute
8ball & MJG- On Top Of The World
8Ball & MJG- Living Legends
Ludacris- Chicken And Beer

Spins:

The Roots "How I Got Over" (x3)
Big Boi "Sir Lucious Leftfoot...." (x2)
8ball & MJG "Living Legends"

Purchases:

Big Boi "Sir Lucious Leftfoot...."

picked up Distant Relatvies and War Report 2 yesterday]

last week i picked up:
Mac Mall - Illegal Business - constant rotation for this

The Cutthroat Committe - Money iz Motive - still waiting for this to come in the mail

Nice work Slang, that Illegal Buisness is a classic blapper. Money Iz Motive will have you wishing MD was on more tracks, but bringing in Mall to co star makes up for it.

Spins:

Sheek Louch "After Taxes"
Sheek Louch "Walk Witt Me"
Tony Touch "The Piece Maker"
Rick Ross "Teflon Don"
MJG "No More Glory"

Yeah but we're also too good to google search, didn't you know that?

Well, find some one else to do your work for you. No cheating in my class.

Bing is too poseur for me. What I typically do is go door to door asking about album release dates, because that is so pure and heartfelt. You'd be surprised how many suburban middle aged white people listen to Vakill.

Purchases:

WC & The Maad Circle "Ain't A Damn Thing Changed" (Itunes)
Low Profile "We're In This Together" (Itunes)
Rick Ross "Teflon Don" (Itunes)
Big Mike "Somethin' Serious (Amazon, replacing a tape)

Other than Big Boi's album, the most recent album I've purchased, CD of course, is the latest Bone Thugs album. Recent spins would be Scarface (Mr. Scarface Is Back), Heltah Skeltah (Noctural), OGC (Da Storm), just to name a few.

Spins:

Big Boi - Sir Lucious...
Vinnie Paz - Season Of The Ass
The Roots - How I Got Over
PackFM - I Fucking Hate Rappers
Bone Thugs - Uni5
MF Grimm - You Only Live Twice
60 Sec Assassin - Remarkable Timing

All were dope except Bone Thugs and Vinnie Paz i didn't care for that much, but i'm not the biggest fan of either anyway. The beats on Paz album were nice but he sounds like a little fat gremlin growling

MF Grimm - The Downfall Of Ibliys
GM Grimm - Digital Tears...
Godfather Don - Donnie Brasco

yo Romped the Money iz Motive album never got in stock on the site i ordered it from (blowitoutahere) so they cancelled my order, im gonna re-order though, i need to hear that

www.rapbay.com has it for $13.99, that's 3 bucks better than amazon for a new one. Rapbay's reliable, If they don't have what you want in stock they'll tickle your balls with a bunch of ad flyers, maybe a keychain or two for your wait. Glad to hear that you didn't get it yet...sort of, I thought you got it and thought it sucked and didn't want to be a dick and hurt my feelings ahahhahahaha.

you can get it for 14 bucks shipped off ebay. I recently bought a copy off ebay for like 7 bucks shipped, but it was a promo copy.

Spins:

Erick Sermon "No Pressure"
Nas & Damian Marley "Distant Relatives"
Big Boi "Sir Lucious Leftfoot"
Little Brother "Leftback"
Freeway/Jake One "Stimulus Package"

Spins:

Ghostface's discography
Gang Starr- Hard To Earn
Gang Starr- Moment Of Truth

Just ordered:

Inspectah Deck - Manifesto
Nabo Rawk - Bizarro World
Dom Pachino - Tera.Iz.Him 2 (been slacking on his solos, so I'm starting with the newest)
Guns-N-Butter - Raise the Hammer Vol. 3 (for $1.13)
Creed Chameleon - SIQ of Lazy (for $3.94, and I really liked Love Potion Cyanide)
Mega Ran - Forever Famicom
Random - Mega Ran Vol. 1.3

Decided to check out the Mega Ran discs, based on the snippets. All the Mega Man samples piqued my interest.

You just gave me an idea Wayne. I am going to spin the GHost's from my least favorite to my favorite, maybe even Wallabee Champ.

Let me know how that Nabo Rawk is, his last disc was really disappointing IMO.

Dope fucking album. I'm loving these NES beats, and Mega Ran is pretty good behind the mic. Plus, K-Murdock>>>>>>>>>

Enjoy!

I am halfway through Bulletproof Wallets already...lol

Well, I try to avoid buying but couldn't pass up on:

C-Loc - Who's Gonna Ride
Ghetto Twins - In Tha Water
Nine - Nine Livez
Do or Die - Heads or Tail
Bizzy Bone - Heavens Movie
Silkk - The Shocker
Keith Murray - Enigma
Ghetto Commission - Wise Guys
Boss - Born Gangstaz
Turk - Young and Thuggin
Flesh N Bone - Thugs
Mo Thugs - Family Scriptures
Kilo G - The Bloody City
Black Sheep - NonFiction

I have more than half of those already, but these came out to a total of 14 for all of them because they were missing the back insert. Can't pass on that. Will probably sell the duplicates I do have in complete condition.

I've been listening to Cape Verde pretty much nonstop. I just got my official copy yesterday with the remix album, I wouldnt have spent extra for it if i'd heard it first.

Across The Dark by Insomnium and Witchkrieg by Witchery are my two favorite non hip-hop albums this year. Sharon Jones' album is also excellent.

Nine Lives and Boss were favorites of mine.

How you liking it so far?

It's actually better than I remember it being. I am almost done with Pretty Toney but Bulletproof Wallets is sounding better than Pretty Toney for the most part. I may have to redo my Ghost rankings.

I hear you on that. Both albums are 4 stars.

Yeah I had Bulletproof Wallets at 3.5 stars but I'll agree with you, 4 stars would be right. I'll finish Pretty Toney and then start on More Fish. Once I check them all out, then I will check out Wallabee Champ.

i loved the 30 second snippets on amazon so judging by that i hope like it even though you cant realy go by those

slang, if you have not heard solitary confinement you are missing out

Da Bidness is close to perfection, T. is now dead to me.

Yo, I'll take that Silkk, Kilo G, and Flesh on my next order if you want.

A little bit better T., even though those are a little old. Is it because you don't understand the slang?, because most of the tracks have fairly catchy hooks. I know these guys don't come with the intellectual spit, but I know you're not all about that being a 3-6 fan and such.
