Mad props go to the person who started these top 5 threads, because it just gave me an idea for a daily thread (and please don't consider this as me "biting or stealing" your idea, but rather expanding).

Wouldn't it be better to maybe do a few years prior to 87? if you really want to focus on the birth of hip hop and the early years?

He said albums released from the birth of hip-hop up to 87, meaning anything released that year and before.

All the albums I listed with the exception of Criminal Minded were made prior to 87.

My comment had nothing to do with you KJ.

What I am saying is including 86 and 87 in the conversation makes it easy for people to pick classics we are all familiar with.

My suggestion is that if Wayne's purpose is to focus on music we might not discuss on this forum frequently, he might want to cut it back a few years to say 85 and we may then start discussing something different.

I never said it had anything to do with me. You just seemed to be confused as to what this topic contains so I was breaking it down to you. And it really doesn't matter which albums get picked cuz everybody's Top 5 isn't going to be the same. I'll probably come back to this topic and list albums that don't get mentioned.

No, you fucking idiot. I am not confused as to what the topic contains. I am merely suggesting that rather than set up another excuse for all of us to regurgitate the same bullshit we've regurgitated before by listing dope albums that came out in 86 and 87 (both years have an abundance of classics to choose from) - we limit the scope to 1975 to 1985 so we may actually discuss something different. Go fucking die somewhere KJ, seriously.

And you wonder why I don't have any respect for you. Everytime I try to have a conversation with you, all you do come with the insults. You're wishing death on me, seriously???? This shit is that serious to you Pedro???? You're a complete fucking douchebag with absolutely no morals. If you don't like this topic, then don't fucking post in it asshole. You're no better than Steve was. If the world had fewer people like you in it, the world would be a better place.

Oh and BTW, Radio was released in 1985. If you knew your history you'd know that.

I don't care what you think about me KJ because you seem to lack basic comprehension skills.

I posted a benign comment directed at Wayne - you thought I was referring to you, hence your need to respond by defending the albums you listed. I tried to explain nicely I was not speaking to you and elaborated my suggestion, and yet you still respond with some off-tangent bullshit and then tell me I am the one having problems understanding what is going on?

I have nothing against the topic and never said I did. I've made my suggestion. If this is going to be a 1986 to 1987 lovefest then there is no point in even pretending we are really considering "the birth of hip-hop" through 1987 and if that's what's going to happen I will refrain from posting here since we are all very familiar with the safe and well known top picks of 86 and 87.

I knew you were talking to Wayne, but since he wasn't around to respond I did. In any event, none of what I said is an excuse to wish death on me. That's a bitch move.

Come on KJ... this is the internet... and I am a stranger far far away from you that has no bearing on your real life...anything I say doesn't really matter outside of the context of this forum. And I told you to go die... I did not wish death upon you, I left death within your own hands.

You are entitled to your opinion, but obviously, you are still alive.
