Hey Myers, how's that new Currensy? I almost bought it but just couldn't bring myself to do so. I like the Pilot talk albums but after that, I'm kind of done with him. It's always the same lazy flow and chilled beats. He just always sounds the same to me.

Anyways, my purchases:

Big Krit "Live From The Underground"-Some of the hooks annoy me, but top 3 album of 2012 as of now.
El-P "Cancer 4 Cure"-After my infatuation with "RAP Music", I decided to check this one out.
El-P "ISWYD"-Never heard it but El-P is on a roll so I wanted to check it out.
REKS "Along Came the Chosen"-also never heard, but I'm a big fan of his other work.

Don't you have Spotify or Rhapsody? You're a brave man spending money on El-P without being familiar...

I checked out C4C and it sounded really dope to me. I've also got the Cannibal Ox album and although I hated it when I first heard it, the more I spun it the more it grew on me. So I'm hoping I'll dig "ISWYD" and if I do, I'll pick up "Fantastic Damage", or whatever it's called.

E. Taylor, i'll say Stoned Immaculate is more of the same, but maybe a little more exciting production. It's definitely better than Weekend At Burnies.

Purchases

Ay Half, how long did it take for that Woods album to get to you? Did you order from Backwoodz?

I got it off of Amazon Mp3 because I had some mp3 credits to use.

I never bought off there before. Does it interface with iTunes pretty easily, or do I have to use MediaPlayer?

Thanks

Spins:

Curren$y - The Stoned Imacculate
Spitta never disappoints me but I think the beat selection and some of the features were suspect. Overall still better than Burnies and recent Eps/mixtapes.

OC and Apollo Brown - Trophies
Superb from start to finish. My current AOTY.

Stalley - Savage Journey To The American Dream
Stalley keeps going strong with this one. I didn't think I would like him in MMG but shit was dope. It's def in the top ten for me this year.

Killer Mike/El-P - RAP Music
Dope. May round out the bottom of the top ten for me.

Terry, where did you get Wanted:Dead Or Alive from? I bought the re-release a few years back but it's scratched already.

I bought it from a store here. I already have a single disc version of the album, but i've been looking for a copy of the 2 disc reissue. Now all i need is the 2 disc reissue of Road To The Riches. If you're interested, the 2 disc reissue of Wanted: Dead or Alive is being released again sometime this week or next week.

http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/kool-g-rap-dj-polo-wanted-dead-or-alive-deluxe-edition-re-issue/TEG77508CD/

I'm definitely interested man. Thanks for the info. The first 5 tracks aren't scratched but the rest of the CD is.

Recent spins:

The Game "The R.E.D. Album" (some really dope songs mixed in with some truly terrible songs...smh)

Bobby Brown "Masterpiece" (I dig it a lot...it's not New Edition or Don't Be Cruel quality, but you can't expect that from Bobby in 2012. I just wish there was some Teddy Riley & Jam & Lewis produce songs on here)

New Edition "Home Again" (I loved this album since the day it was release, 16 years later my feelings towards it hasn't change. Their second best album behind Heart Break imo.)

I'm with you on Home Again. I think it's stellar from top to bottom. The Home Again tour is still one of the best concerts i have attended.

I thought you found the album to be boring?

I did. But I probably was in a certain mood back when I 1st peeped it. I listened to it in the headphones at work. Maybe that was the difference. Timing and settings.

Yeah, i would say their are certain CL albums that qualify as mood music due to Kno's production. APOS, Death Is Silent, and Oneirology are all that way IMO.

How do you like the Dalek, Kevin?

If you like Lone Sharks don't forget to check out their album 2012 from a couple years earlier, very dope as well, similar beats and overall atmosphere.
