Sale goes white to red

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I will admit Nas is definitely in my top 5. Illmatic alone makes him one of the GOATs

Got to put Rakim there as well.

Actually, he redid one of those albums (I think I Am...) IIRC, and it was actually pretty good

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Btw this thread is derailed like a mofo.

 

[cerealboi]

Wow. Way to ruin a thread with a shit discussion about rappers.

I Am was good. Wasn't on Ill/Still's level though.

 

[Omar 382]

Speaking of Nas, I liked It Was Written (my second favorite album ever) more than Illmatic (which was still legendary). Life Is Good would be third

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I'll also take Too $hort if we're talking WC rappers from that era

Ice Cube and Spice 1 >>>>>> Too Short.

It Was Written is underrated. Some of the production was top notch.

Agree with Cube; don't know Spice 1

Moncada is a stud, but it basically was a trade straight up for him.

Um, plus a kid throwing 105...

Right? It's a very select club. It's hard as hell for artists to keep up with the times and maintain their appeal.

My litmus test is that I need to be able to make about 80 minutes of tracks over someone's career into an album without getting bored of that band/singer/rapper then I put it on a blank CD.

Except for the fact now the Red Sox are paying for the entire rest of his salary.. White Sox made out well!

Meh the Sox have the money and if Price can come back to form they have a great rotation.

Really worked out for Zumaya.

I'd have Still over both.

It Was Written was probably his second-best.

Yes hopefully he will turn it around (granted he wasn't as bad as he appeared). I am not so confident in Panda at 3rd. But it doesn't mean that the Sox are done making moves.

Ah, so since he was a bust, Kopech will be too...don't quit your day job

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I think Panda is done and you have Devers waiting around.

Yeah, that's a fair amount. Anything less and I think you're basically a one-and-doner who maybe had a half-decent sophomore effort.

105 isn't end all be all. Location is more important. Rondon for instance was a bum for awhile.

Oh Panda, forgot about him of did I just try to.
Now there's the new poster boy for Deal a Meal or Weight watchers spokesman (I wish)
