Best Album 1995 Round 1: Mr Smith vs. Station ID (A)

vs.

Mad Izm>>>>>>>

But Mr Smith still wins easily.

LL wins but it's not a blowout. That Channel Live album was a dope effort.

Channel Live

Never heard Channel Live. No Vote!

that Channel Live effort was about 3 stars IMO....it had Mad Izm which was ridiculous and a few other select cuts but that was about it....

Mr.Smith was a 4.5 stars effort IMO....it was an r&b/hip-hop sounding effort from Cool J and was a pretty dope album especially when you consider that Doin' It, I Shot Ya, Hey Lover added on with No Airplay, Make It Hot, and Hip-Hop were all on there....

no vote

I agree with the 4.5 star rating for Mr. Smith, but Channel Live was 4 stars easily IMO. The production was bangin and it was pretty dope lyrically as well.

No one peeped that Channel Live.

I peeped it off the strength of Mad Izm, which was one of my favorite songs of 95. While this album is definitely trumped by a lot of 95 albums (which has more to do with the amount of classics released rather than individual quality). It was still a dope effort.

I'm not saying its not a solid CD, but most people ain't heard it.

LL by default. I will get my Channel Live on eventually

Never heard the Channel Live, no vote....

Channel Live. That was a dope album. Never really got too much into this LL album.

Only remember Sex For Sport off one, and Hey Lover off the other...no vote.
