Those "timeless" albums...

[Cuba Gorilla]

What are some of the albums (or songs from them) that you have been bumping since you heard them?

For me, pretty much 3/4 of Foreign Exchange's "Connected" has been in constant rotation since I first heard it almost three/four years ago.

[Jay Dub]

There is bunch of shit for me. Tribe Called Quest never gets old to me, Low End Theory, Midnight Moraders. All the Boot Camp Click shit from the 90's like Smiff & Wesson, Black Moon, Heltah Skeltah, O.G.C., ect. All the old school Wu Tang shit, Liquid Swards, 36 Chambers, Return to the 36 Chambers, Oly Built For Cuban Linx, Tical, ect. Rakim the 18th Letter, KRS-ONE Return of the Boom Bap, self titled, ect. Nas Illmatic, It was Writen. Guru and Gangstar, the list goes on and on and on...

[RickyRaw]

method man - tical
outkast - southerncadiallacmuscforyourtunk Atliens Aquemini

thats all i can think of at 10am on sunday morning.

[D.F.A.]

Non Phixion - The Future is Now, Micranots both Obelisk Movements & The Emperor And The Assassin, The Grouch - Sound Advice. Can't really think of any others off the top of the head ATM, but co-sign on 3/4ths of Foreign Exchange.

[WesSezSo]

I don't know why this one just popped in my head of all the hundreds of others i could name but one of my all-time faves and imo a timeless classic Boogie Monsters - God Sound.

[Destroy]

OutKast - ATLiens

ATCQ - LOT

Makavelli - 7 Day Theory

OBFCL

off the top of my head...

[dooz]

93 til infinity
fuck the dumb
atliens
low end theory
blood sugar sex magic

[Blame One]

I don't know why this one just popped in my head of all the hundreds of others i could name but one of my all-time faves and imo a timeless classic Boogie Monsters - God Sound. That album is really dope wes, I love the other one as well. What happened to those cats? I co-sign on everything Jay Dub listed as well. Never get tired of those joints. The First two O.C. albums for me as well along with a million others.

[dan12003]

depends what you mean by timeless, like 'beauty and the beat' or 'emergency rations' been listening to that hella since it came out, then theres older albums that have had longer to mature and still fat like 'to whom it may concern' or 'book of human language'.

[TWENTYONEGRAMZ]

Beauty and the beat was definately dope. I really havent heard to many albums with production i've been feelin. As far as hip-hop goes i'd have to say Paid in Full, Funcrusher Plus, Doomsday Prophet, Hard to Earn, and an grip of Wu-tang albums.

[Jay Dub]

Anything produced by D.J. Premier

[WesSezSo]

The Roots - Illadelph Halflife...."No Alibi" is one of my all-time favorites...but back when this album came out...I was all about "Concerto of the Desparado" and "Universe at War"...but for some reason I find them to be my least favorite off the album and immediately skip to tracks like "No Great Pretender"...this is one of the greatest contributions to hip hop...and if an actual hip hop hall of fame is ever erected let this album be in the halls of it's history.

Of course there are more comments like this to come...but its only when I get a random thought in my head that I can actually spit out something meaningful rather than make lists. :o

[Tek3030]

Acey-A Book Of Human language
Gangstarr-Moment of Truth
Promoe-Government music
Visionaries-Galleries
Mystic Journeymen-WWU
Arrested Development-The Best Of Arrested Development...yes thats the name of the 94 release. Fuck you all I dig this shit.
Heiro-3rd eye
Del-IWMBGWH and NNFA
The Grouch-Fuck the Dumb

plus like others have said...loads more.

Cuba I think we like similar shit...just based on what I see you jocking on here. (:D)

Am I right Nasy?

Anyways, your "Connected" comment made me think you would like this CD a few buddies of mine made. Its not a ton like the style of Connected but there are some similarities....(in my opinion).

you might like it, you might not. shoot me an email if your interested

I just realized today, that was I was lifting in the gym and then running, that I was listening to "Enter the 36th Chamber" and "Only Built for Cuban Lynx..." the entire time. Definitely old school Wu-Tang Clan are the timeless classics that have remained in rotation since I first heard them.
