Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E.- West Koasta Nostra (Really feeling this album. Lots of dope guest appearances (W.C., Crooked 1, Eminem, B Real, Mack 10, Kurupt). Almost on par with 'New Funky Nation'. Anybody who dig G-Funk should peep this album out. Cheap as hell on Amazon.

Kidz in the Hall- Land of Make Believe (I dig it. Production is solid, rhymes are cool)

Statik Selektah- 100 Proof: The Hangover (my album of the year so far)

Canibus- Rip the Jacker (dare I say "personal classic"? Damn right, Stoupe just kills the productions on here. Easily my favorite album from Canibus. 'No Return'>>>>>>>>>>)

What do you think of the Nujabes?

I really like it. Digged Japanese Gangster alot - though that sounds like someone just put Nujabes beats to Jay Z lyrics - so they didn't match up the best 100% of the time, it was still dope though. Modales was dope too. Talented guy. Wish he would have worked with emcees more and not been so much of a recluse.

Buff1- Pure (Another reason why Detroit is killing it right now. Very solid album, the last track on the album is flamethrower.)

Jeru The Damaja- Still Rising (I know I'm the only one who thinks this, but I dig this a lot more than "The Sun Rises East". Dope stuff here.)

GZA- Pro Tools (Still in the mail. $5 shipped for a brand new copy. Can't beat that.)

Pacewon- Won (Still in the mail)

Yella- One Mo Bunny Ta Go: Dedicated To...Eazy-E (Just ordered this one yesterday, been wanting this for a long minute now. Found a cheap ass copy on Amazon, like new and all for $5.50 shipped. The only problem is it's shipped from Japan, so it could take up to a month to arrive.)

smh went to Best Buy and they didn't have either the Brotha Lynch Hung or Inspectah Deck in stock. They did have a copy of the Marco/Rustee available but that shit was going for $14.99...smh. I ended up copping Inspectah Deck on Amazon for $13 shipped. Will cop the Brotha Lynch next.

How is the Inspectah Deck Terry?

How is the Inspectah Deck Terry?

It's dope to me. After one spin, it's my second favorite album this year. It's got plenty of Bangers like The Champion, Born Survivor, The Big Game, 9th Chamber, Serious Rappin, Gotta Bang, The Bad Apple, and Brothaz Respect. It's a little on the long side, but it rarely loses steam iMO.

Spins:

Inspectah Deck - Manifesto: Dope solo.
BLH - Dinner and a Movie - Even Doper
Marco Polo and Ruste Juxx - so so
DMX - DMX Mixtape - waaaaack, a few dope songs though
Guce and Matt Blaque - Gangsta and Gentleman: a few tight songs on here...

Ok I see 2 co-signs, so I will grab the Inspectah Deck from Itunes.

Would you call the Marco Polo/Rustee Juxx a let down? I was planning on buying it but may get the BLH instead. Is Lynch still doing the horror core thing? That's not really my style but i did dig "Season of da Siccness".

If you liked the Marco Polo album with Torae last year, you'll like Exxecution. It wasn't a disappointment for me, but it didn;'t exceed expectations either. Dinner and A Movie is dope, and BLH is doing the horrorcore thing.

BLH is better than Juxx. Juxx is just Double Barrel part II, though I like juxx a little better than torae as an emcee. The BLH is just doper. Never been a huge fan of BLH's overall catalog cause he gets lazy, but I think BLH is just as good or better than he was on Season of da Siccness

Just made a good sized purchase:

Scarface "Mr. Face is Back"-same as above.
Panacea "Ink is my Drink"

Pe2ny- Alive Soul Cuts is dope. I have both version, bought the regular version and dl the instros. Bump both regularly. Alive is an amazing song. Still Shining is an excellent Dilla tribute.

Ghibli- Jazzin For Ghibli is another dope album. Track 2 with Agape is an awesome song.

Nomak- Calm I have a dl copy, trying to get a hand on a physical copy. Another album I really love. Geishas in the Days and If I Was Peace are the ish!

Heard a couple tracks from Son of Ran, and haven't heard the rest.

I was disappointed. The single with Will.I.Am is wack IMO, and More didn't make the album. I was hoping to get an album as personal and dope as Confessions, but those moments were fleeting.
