Nothing we haven’t heard before but its good to be reminded why this lazy, stubborn, sometimes extremely idiotic rapper was once the greatest we had in the 90′s.  It’s also a good testament to anyone who ever thought Jay-Z was a better rapper. Definitely a cool compilation for the weekend. Enjoy! –Philaflava

Black Moon – Enta The Stage
Download

Pros

– Beat Minerz productions and Buckshot killing it for the first and only time.

Cons

– Featured 5 Ft. and Dru Ha, and the body count was just to ridiculous coming from two rappers under 5 feet tall and 120 pounds.

Redman – Whut Tha Album
Download

Pros

– Not a bad song on the album, thick funk production and Redman at the height of his powers.

Cons

– To many stories of sharing women with Erick Serman and “Accidental” encounters with tranies.

Clipse – Lord Willin
Download

Pros

- Great coke rap and amazing production

Cons

– Not being able to tell the rappers apart, guest appearances and Pharell

Main Source – Breaking Atoms
Download

Pros

- Large Pro production and rapping.

Cons

– Some nerd shit

Diamond D & The Psychotic Neurotics – Stunts Blunts and Hip Hop
Download

Pros

– Excellent production, Diamond is surprisingly adept on the mic

Cons

– Features Fat Joe and Lord Jammar

Hooray for bootlegs. The cover is self explanatory – this is a compilation collecting the original sources used by Large Pro in creating Breaking Atoms. Naturally the main target demographic here are the sample nerds. However this also works as a good mix of assorted classic rock/funk/soul/jazz jams so you can enjoy it even if you don’t give two shits about what the original for Vamos A Rapiar was.
