Nice buys, Taylor, especially for that price. I went to my Borders, and they had nothing but wack albums. That Banner/9th joint is solid, it's too bad you don't own the Best Buy version, 3 extra songs (your version doesn't have "Hip Hop", which is a shame because that's easily my fav song on the album). That Guilty is a mix tape, but I dig it. His albums are a lot better. I don't own the Jean Grae, it's a damn shame... I gotta change that. I don't own that Doom, not an official album, just his guest appearances. The Esctatic album is just eh to me, but Pounds loves that album, so you'll probably love it as well. Mos just sounds lazy on the mic on most of the songs. Life In Marvelous Times>>>>>>>>>>>>

Currently bumping Black Moon "Enta Da Stage". Top 10 East Coast album easily for me...so many classic songs. Ack Like U Want It>>>>>>>>

I dig the Ecstatic a lot. Mos was definitely inspired by Doom on that album. History>>>>

Agreed. Though it was only one listen, and I had it on as background music while I was on the computer. A few more spins and I'll have a better idea.

He's been told that before. I'm not sure why he didn't remember, lol! Maybe he didn't want to use LAUnderground cause they are screwing CL over, but it's not like CL are getting money from his purchase either so i dunno.

CL might be getting back control over APOS and SSV2. So hopefully that APOS DVD will finally come out...

They need to hurry up with the WRFF rerelease.

Rererelease*
