Freestyle Fellowship:

Innercity Griots- 5 Stars

If you're looking for strictly solo albums, I'd grab Accepted Eclectic and Grand Imperial next. If you're looking for any and all, grab "Innercity Griots" and "Coup de Theatre"

Haiku D'Etat: Coup de Theatre- 5 Stars.
Never heard of this i'll check this out.

Already own Innercity Griots, sits at about 4 for me but I haven't listened to it much but those first two solos are classics

I think you've got the only two that are completely necessary. The rest are kinda disappointing IMO.

Solos, yes. But check out the Haiku album. That one is not disappointing

Eh...maybe.

You don't like that one?

Nah I'm just not a huge Acey fan in general. Magnificent City was mad disappointing I thought RJD2 would bring back that 90's shit from him but it didn't. Kinda gave up on dude.

Ace never came with a solo album as crazy as his first 2. That being said you need to cop All Balls Dont Bounce-Revisited. It has remixed tracks thats completely re-recorded and new and unreleased tracks.

I obviously wasn't listening to him when he first came out so I have no idea what order they came out in. Was All Balls his first?

Yeah, the way I listed them is the order they came out in, I think

"Magnificent City was mad disappointing I thought RJD2 would bring back that 90's shit from him but it didn't. Kinda gave up on dude."

I hear ya, there. RJD2 pooed on the album, in a bad way

Aceyalone career has been that disappointing? I have both "All Balls Don't Bounce Revisited" and "A Book of Human Language" (both really dope albums) and was thinking about checking out the rest of his catalog, but if you guys say it is not that good then I'll just have to dl the rest see if there is anything I like out of it...

"Accepted Eclectic" and "Grand Imperial" are both dope records, XCL. I think you'd like them both. They both sort of lack variety, though. That's why I gave under 4 stars.

If you haven't heard "Coup de Theatre", though, definitely check that one out

I thought "Magnificent City" was a great album. I guess me and Exzakt are the only ones. 4 stars easy.

A Book of Human Language Is a good start.

Psycho, if what Shon is saying is indeed the truth and not him cracking a joke (always a possibility), I'll sell you my copy for $3...that's how highly I regard it.

Besides, you'd be getting a steal. It'd work out for both parties. lol

?

You don't like it, Norf? lol
