What Are You Listening To? - Tiggi - 24-06-2011

His 2009 comeback album, following a bit of a lost weekend...
To these ears, this is a much darker album than his previous releases, reflecting his pharmaceutical excursion over the previous years.
Much of the humour I associate with him is absent, but the album is still an attention grabber. Solid effort.
AllMusic 4/5 stars.

...."recovery" is even darker Tiggi, as with Relapse, not as much foul language as previous efforts. also has little humour on it but he still knows how to spit out them verses and turn a line on its head and thrust it inside out to give different meanings to the words.

Recovery gets a spin tonight...

MM's last from 2010.
This one is customarily contradictory, with the man himself mixing self-pity with defiance in a soul-baring review of his complicated life(style).
The rhymes are as sharp as ever, and reach a ferocious emotional pitch at times.
Lil Wayne's appearance had me suddenly thinking that I need to investigate the better end of Hip Hop in more detail...
AllMusic 3+/5 stars.

I've mentioned before, I only have M's first two albums, both of which I love.
Not sure why I dropped him.
Was hoping I would catch him in the discount bin I guess.
Which I actually did at Wal-Mart the other day for $5.
It was one I already friggin' had.
Anyway, you guys make we wanna pick up where I left off.
I just hate those damn ft. artists all the time with these rap guys.

ya know what?...i dislike all them "featuring:" credits also, but it seems to be creeping into not only rap/hip hop but in music in general more and more.
Tiggi, i only have one Lil Wayne album...his last one called "rebirth" from 2010, i got it after hearing his rapping on that Eminem track.
i think his album is reasonable enough, but havent heard any others by him to say whether its a good or bad one yet.
MH,
i'll reply again to your PM in about an hour mate, i did a bit of surfing today so i can add a thing or two to it also.

I've found a website featuring the "500 Best Hip-Hip Albums". It's bound to be subjective, but it'll serve as a foundation for further research...
Top 10 are:
1 Nas - Illmatic
2 NWA - Straight Outta Compton
3 Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us back
4 Dr Dre - The Chronic
5 Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
6 2-Pac - All Eyex on me
7 A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
8 The Notorious BIG - Ready to Die
9 Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
10 De la Soul - Three Feet High & Rising
I aready have the De la Soul, and Public Enemy albums, but anyone's comments about top Hip Hop albums would be welcome...
The list appears to be only 388 albums long !! I only have 8 of these.

I have you by 1
I have the same 2 as you plus the Snoop Dogg
It's a pretty good album, quite vulgar though.
JazzyRandy is the man for this, but I guess he's abandoned us.
