It really does sound like as if Hi-Tek had in a way started working on that album from when he first began producing and he was like "I'm gonna save all my best samples/ ideas as I go along until I find the perfect MC to work with"... or something. It just kind of seemed as though after that album his production lacked the level of like true school sample-based sophistication it had on Reflection eternal.

I slept on "The Cold Vein" for 4 years until putting it on some big headphones in pitch dark at 2am and it fully started to sink in beyond an extant love for "The F-Word" These write-up are impeccable, especially the CanOX and Ghost ones.

Is this really the case? The thing is a I find a lot on the list agreeable, but it looks like Doom is going to be on this list like 5 times, (if you think Geedorah and Madvillian are in the top 10, I do) if this is the case, these past 10 years have been a desolate wasteland for rap.

If not, I fear I must poop in someone's cereal bowl. so I just listened to Stillmatic and Little Brothers The Listening (I was one the few, the proud, the 30K) for the first time in ages and I feel that if they both made the list that Nas Untitled and Minstel Show absolutly must be in the top ten.
