What's your favorite Masta Ace album?

Subject: Re: Masta Ace Mon 22 Jun 2009, 11:45 am

I'm really going to have to think about this one. I feel he has three 5-star classics, but it's between "Take a Look Around" & "A Long Hot Summer" for me. His debut is objectively better IMO, but I may favor his latest solo effort on the conceptual/message side. Fuck it...going with "A Long Hot Summer" cause I spin it more.

IMO, it's Disposable Arts rather easily.

Yeah, I was reluctant to check out Ace because i always thought Slaughtahouse was overrated. Take a Look Around is on par with A Long Hot Summer(both are 4.5 stars to me), and Disposable Arts is at 5 stars.

Subject: Re: Masta Ace Mon 22 Jun 2009, 2:14 pm

I just never quite saw Disposable Arts as that close to classic. I'll have to give it a spin soon to reevaluate it. Slaughtahouse was actually not quite that fly to me either when I first got it. But I've really warmed up to it with repeat spins. I'd give that 5-stars, as well as his debut and "A Long Hot Summer".

Subject: Re: Masta Ace Mon 22 Jun 2009, 2:16 pm

tossing in Disposable Arts for a spin now...

Subject: Re: Masta Ace Mon 22 Jun 2009, 2:38 pm

9 tracks in, and I could possible see Disposable Arts at 5 stars. It's definitely top notch IMO.

Subject: Re: Masta Ace Mon 22 Jun 2009, 3:54 pm

Looks like a lot of fans of A Long Hot Summer stopped by. lol

That and I'd say he was lyrically at his best on this album. His flow was in tip-top shape.

Tough call between Slaughtahouse and Take A Look Around, but I went with Slaughtahouse.

Take A Look Around

Subject: Re: Masta Ace Tue 23 Jun 2009, 9:52 am

Disposable Arts..........I just spun it like 500 times more than any of the others I have from him. I don't know if I should vote because I haven't heard Sittin On Chrome, but whatever.

DAMN! A 3-way tie? This is why Masta Ace is one of the best.

I agree, all of his albums are at least 4.25 stars IMO.

I'd probably give "Sittin' On Chrome" 4 stars, but I'm with you otherwise.

Dang, A Long Hot Summer took the lead!

Subject: Re: Masta Ace Wed 24 Jun 2009, 2:19 pm

It's either Take a Look Around or Disposable Arts for me. I'm going with Disposable Arts because listening to that album is like hearing a story. I just like the concept of the album and the beats are great too.

I love Sittin On Chrome's production. His rhymes weren't as potent as the first two albums, but the beats were seriously bangin.

I love Disposable Arts! That album is easily in my top pick. Followed by ALHS. Too bad, I can't find these. I only have the digital copy.
