I gotta say, EPMD is some sick shit. Listen to the Strictly Business, Unfinished Business and Business as Usual if you need a reminder to how awesome they are. Early to mid 90's hip hop is some of the greatest music to come out in my opinion.

1992 · « **Reply #1 on:** June 23, 2009, 02:50:18 PM »

I listen to alot of it......if you can you should find some of this stuff...

Kev Brown(newer...but has that classic feel to it)
Da Noe Doe Network ep(1997)
Indyana Jawns compilation(1996)

Scientifik-The Most Blunted and Criminal(1992/1994...R.I.P.)
The Brotherhood-Elementalz(1996...UK stuff...super solid lp)
Big Twan-Hellgate/My Mic(Stevie Williams song from The Reason)1998

Haha, that makes me remember when Brian Green from Beverly Hill 90210 put out a rap album. Tre from The Pharcyde did all the production and rhymed on some of the verses, can't really blame him he was probabely getting papes out the ass and it really wasn't that bad...

anyway enough of the celebrity rap...

5 Elementz - The Album That Time Forgot (one of Dilla's first production credits)
The Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia (you all know the first one but the second one is seriously slept on)
The UMC'S - Fruit Of Nature (silly De La esque backpack rap that'll hit close to home)
Intelligent Hoodlum - Saga Of A Hoodlum

Some newer joints that are highly reccomeneded:
Anything with J Dilla's name on including the '05 beattapes, Slum Village Fantastic Vol. 2, Illa J "Yancey Brothers"
Jake One "White Van Music"
Blu "Below The Heavens" (scorcher...)
14kt - The Golden Hour
Pacific Division - The Blend Tape
U-NI- Fried Chicken and Watermelon
