You serious about this pick, lol?

Is that some how less serious than the Black Sheep album?

Who knows, lol.

Yeah, i dunno. I really don't think a Gangstarr album or that particular Black Sheep album belonged in this thread.

Kilo G - Bloody City

Yes it is....why do a greatest hits album? It makes no sense. GS is pretty well recognized by everyone in the forum anyway. Black Sheep belonged because it was a slept on gem.

It could be argued that Homebase doesn't belong either, especially since it has Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince's greatest song on it.

If you want a pick, I'll say Holy Intellect by Poor Righteous Teachers.

lmao....so hypocritical... just a few weeks ago KJ was arguing how Black Sheep were not 1-hit wonders because they were so popular and classic and bla bla bla... now they are slept on.... CHOOSE ONE!

Slept on does not necessarily mean one hit wonder jackass. It means that they've been overshadowed by albums that have come out since then. Isn't that what this thread is all about???

Full Clip has an album's worth of new material....

The only new tracks on it are Full Clip, Discipline, Half & Half, and All For The Cash.

That'd be enough for like 4 illmatics.

The Militia II, You Know My Steez (Three Men & A Lady Remix), The ? Remainz, So Wassup!?, Credit Is Due, and Gotta Get Over were all new, I thought?

Just shhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Full Clip is top 25 for the east coast for me. There best album.

Those songs were released on soundtracks

And SMH @ Kev, Any greatest hits album would be a artists/groups best album.

what soundtracks?

The Militia 2- Belly
Gotta Get Over- Trespass
Jazz Thing- Mo Better Blues
Credit Is Due- Love Sick single
The ? Remains- Suckas Need Bodyguards single
So Wassup- You Know My Steez single
You Know My Steez remix- Militia single

I thought they were all soundtracks, but some were B-Sides. But I do remember hearing them before this set was released.

So out of the 6 shon named - 2 were from a soundtrack. The rest were from singles and all were previously unavailable unless you bought the singles. So it is either new or unavailable material.

3 of them were from soundtracks (2 that he named but another he forgot to name).....but yeah I bought The ? Remainz, and I had heard them all on the radio here before they were released on this set. Gotta Get Over even had a video released for it that got frequent play on Yo MTV Raps and Rap City.

I can see why someone would think that they're new though, especially Shaun since he was a baby at the time most of these tracks came out. I was just setting the record straight.

I'm just saying. The music on Full Clip is no different than what was on Lost Tapes. I had almost all of Lost Tapes on vinyl before it ever came out, so...

Not to mention the Actually Lost Tapes.....how much is that cassette you have going for on ebay?

I see your point, but the difference between those two albums is that The Lost Tapes had nothing but unreleased tracks. Full Clip had a few unreleased tracks mixed in with tons of previously released tracks, making it a greatest hits album.

It wasn't a greatest hits. It was a Decade of Gangstarr. With over 10 tracks that were not hits how is it a greatest hits?

Same shit, different title. It's considered a Greatest Hits album because it contains their most well known songs. Just about every album of that type has some unreleased tracks on it.

And Gotta Get Over, Full Clip, Discipline became minor hits since they had videos out for them.

Who cares if they BECAME hits - they weren't hits when they were released for the first time... on FULL CLIP.

Full Clip is not just a greatest hits. It's not that hard to see that. Otherwise it wouldn't have sold like it did would it?

The album only went gold, and most of the people who bought it did so because they didn't own Gangstarr's full discography. Kev being a prime example.

The album went gold because it had so much new shit that even die hard gang starr fans bought it despite having all their albums.

It was a combination of both factors, but greatest hits in general are usually bought by people who don't own an artists full discog.

Nevertheless, since Wayne created the thread then he should decide whether or not the album gets on the thread. I personally don't think so because everyone here knows about Gangstarr, but I'll leave that decision up to him. I'll respect it either way.

According to you everyone knows about Black Sheep because they are superstars and hip-hop legends.

I never said all that, I said that AWISC is legendary and they were superstars at the time.

I couldn't name you 1 Gangstarr song, I'm sure I've probably heard one though.

I own their entire discography. You don't listen to much East Coast stuff so I'm not surprised to hear you say that.

Hate to break it to ya, but that's not a new one. It was on the Blade soundtrack.

Wayne, change Thursday to:

Justice System- Rooftop Soundcheck
