yeah, I assumed they were going to protect the coffin boxes as well, but I wonder if he was shipping them all along. considering I would have paid 15 for the CD and 25 tops for the shirt, that means I paid 20 bucks for a keychain, poster, and shitty box...lol

Recent purchases

John Robinson and Lewis Parker- International Summers (Really feelin' this joint, the song International Summers is a banger, love the jazzy groove the album has throughout).

Atmosphere- To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy: The Atmosphere EP's (Eh, decent. There were a few boring songs, but the ones that I did like were super dope. To All My Friends is the standout track for me, this is why I dig Slug as an mc)

Canibus- C of Tranquility (It's cool, need to give it more spins)

Eligh- Greycrow (Pre-ordered. Al, why haven't you over this yet???)

Common- Resurrection Deluxe Edition (Now all I need is the Mecca And The Soul Brother Deluxe and I got them all! )

Oh, and I copped both of the Tech N9ne's EPs. Lost Script>>>>>>>>Seepage

Currently spinning Mobb Deep's The Infamous.

Currently spinning:

DJ Muggs "Soul Assassins Vol. 1"



Just ordered from Amazon:

Sene & Blu "Day Late & A Dollar Short"
Spice 1 "187 He Wrote"-had to replace my worn copy.

Any opinions on that Sene & Blu album?

my opinion is you should have ordered 1982 by termanology and statik selektah and if I recall Tran said that Blu CD was Sene rapping over Blu beats with little Blu rapping.

Currently spinning Rae's OB4CL.

Sene & Blu is alright...probably my least favorite album with Blu's name on it. The production is nowhere as good as anything else he's done. As for Sene, I don't know if he and Blu developed their styles together or if Blu wrote all his rhymes. But, he flows just like him.

I got the email Rukus, but I still think its bullshit. I didn't want to cancel, but seeing it in person it looked a lot shittier than I expected. Didn't expect them to mail in the black boxes and mine got all bent. I'm sure if they mailed in the coffin boxes the same might have happened, but honestly I was pissed choosing to wait for the coffin boxes was not an option they gave us.

You already got this? What the shit?

Yeah, i got it whatever day I posted... yesterday? or day before.. either way, yep...

Lol Yep, I bought some eyeliner, a box tissues and a pair of skinny jeans just to listen to it.


Really though, It's not great. The first one was ok.

Just ordered "The Scenic Route" by Panacea. Been on the wish list for 2 years so i finally copped it.

Coolio- Gangsta Paradise- I'm starting to think this should have been included in the tourney. Classic shit.

Tela- Now or Never- more people really need to hear this one. Its his best album imo.

Brand Nubian- In God We Trust- Okay I must admit this sounded better than I thought it would. They did good job taking Puba out of the formula

wow, we missed that one? I wouldn't be opposed to it being included.

Yeah, I feel the same way bout that CD. Coolio's first two are essential listens...but people here sleep because 1. he is west coast 2. he had a huge hit...

It's official, pictures and anything else are now allowed. For the sake of condensing and eliminating clutter at the top of this forum I figure we make it all in one big thread.

I did not buy them all today. the only one i bought today was Kno

Spun today:

Roc Marciano - Marcberg
Freddie Gibbs - midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik

You should try bumping something that was release this year, maybe something underground, how about you giving Q-Unique - Between Heaven & Hell a spin? He's from NY, so it's an East Coast album, has some boom bap in it, why not give that one a spin?

Just Ordered:

Mac Dre - Its Not What You Say...Its How You Say It
Kno - Death is Silent
Celph Titled - Nineteen Naughty Now

If I had to pick, I'd say that's probably my favorite Slang. Take Yo Panties Off is really the only track I could do without, but MD's verses are still good, Just not a big fan of the hook. The bonus track is on some sherm style Dre, Suga Free & Miami bullshiting cherry.

I'm beginning to think my Kno delivery got swiped off my porch.

maybe you should email him and ask whut the deal

Yeah I did yesterday.

Spinning now:

T-Nutty - Last of the Floheakinz

That one's a web gem (good play Slang)

Latest spins for me:

Duna & Taj Mahal - Fat Of The Land
Dem Hoodstarz - Controversy
Young Dru - The Envy Of My Success

Only cd in my car since I got it:

C Money-Front Porch Music

Spins..

Vpaz - Sesaon
Violator Vol2
John Coltrane - Greatest hits
Aloe Blacc - Good Things--> This cd is growing on me..
Arokone - The Great Escapism - Yeah, I been bumping my ish or at least 6 tracks from my album.


Just ordered:

Term

Yo, Tran how's that Robinson and Parker album?

Spins:

Gang Starr- Hard To Earn- okay i'll admit. This album is a banger and a true gem. Way better than Daily Op.

With 2010 coming to an end soon, I will start spinning my favs from this year. If you have any suggestions for something I might like, feel free to recommend something.

Spins:

Vinnie Paz-Season OfThe Assassin
AOTP-Torture Papers
Mobb Deep-Amerikaz Nightmare
Mobb Deep-Infamy
K-Rino-AOTEM

I, too, spun AOTEM yesterday. It was a good break from How I Got Over and 100 Proof

My 1st round of 2010 spins:

The Roots "How I Got Over"
Big Boi "Sir Lucious Leftfoot"
Nas & Damian Marley "Distant Relatives"

Spun:

Kno - Death is Silent...this is a dope ass album. Excellent production, of course, with surprisingly good lyrics. I wasn't sure how well Kno would carry his own album. It's one of those albums that you have to spin in its entirety every time you hear it, nothing really stands out on its own but it's a good, cohesive album. I am def bumpin this on my next semi-long car trip while I put a duke in the air. My only knock is that it's a little too to stay in heavy rotation for me.

Favs so far:
Loneliness
La Petit Mort (Come Die With Me) - Kinda sexy in a morbid way, lol.
Rhythm of the Rain
Graveyard - Kno calls himself the Emo Premo, lol.
