I'll pass on this vote I am not taking anything away from any of these, I guess I should have re-worded the title. I didn't think it was problematic, I'll fix it. Things fall apart is amazing. I was listening to Game Theory putting the list together. I put the poll up just as a "best albums from those artists". Maybe this should just be an East Coast Old School thread? Ultramagnetic MC's - Critical Beatdown Boogie Down Productions - Criminal Minded Slick Rick - The Great Adventures of Slick Rick and The Art of Storytelling Edit: I just re read the OP and saw that you included BDP under KRS One Agreed I should have just titled it old school, and yea those are all boogie down my bad.

Dangerous to make this thread and not know who big l is. Also did big pun get mentioned? Well I am not trying to "say" anything by making this thread, I am not a hiphop head, I am trying to broaden my horizons. So for me this is a way to learn about some stuff I don't know about. Granted I am started to think the way it was brought about was problematic. Not trying to make a proclamation or statement really just trying to pick peoples brain, see what people think. I think what I am going to try and do is redo the initial post and get rid of the poll. Basically when I start seeing albums pop up more then once I am going to consolidate it and move them up in the list if thats cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
