  • Reply with quote
Since I skipped Lethal's turn a few days ago since he didn't have a chart anymore, and he has now returned under the guise of Skinny (I have no confirmation of this so he may just be a really great Lethal imitator, which, you know, doesn't really matter when it comes to user pick of the day lol), I now present to you...

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... by Raekwon
Chart: Top 10 Greatest Music Albums by Skinny
Rank on User's Chart: 1
Year: 1995
Rank on BEA Overall: 727
Average Rating: 80/100
Chart notes:
"Paranoid off the cheeba, sipping brandy to try even shit out, constantly on the verge of slipping. Putting on your best game face throughout, bleary-eyed and weak-voiced, but trying to sound triumphant. Knowing you're a fucking don, but that being a don won't necessarily save you. Preferably in an unsuitably warm sports jacket."

You know, this might just ruin the timing of this since I did replace his pick with something from the Forum Regulars +500 chart....hmm..Oh, if it matters, I guess I can just skip the next turn from the Forum Regulars chart.

Own a copy of this album and I'd recommend giving it a listen.

I don't know why but I've never been able to fall in love with this. Like, based off what I love and based off my adoration of Liquid Swords and love of 36 chambers and The Infamous and other great east coast rap of the era, you'd think I'd love this too. But honestly I've not yet had my moment with this album. Weird.

The hook from 'Ice Cream' alone is worth more than most artist's careers. It's said far too often, but listening to this album really does feel like watching a movie. So thoroughly immersive. Fun as fuck too.
