When ‘Pretty Toney’ keeps it raw, it reinforces that there are few artists that can compete with Ghostface’s vivid imagery and gutter sensibilities.

Mobb Deep’s ‘The Infamous’ Turns 30 | Album Anniversary

If you listen closely enough, amidst the darkness and drama, you can detect the underlying theme of regret-filled resignation throughout the course of the album’s sixteen tracks.

What really makes Jay-Z great is that he could rap about hustling and still be an MC at the same time. A lot of rappers couldn't do that. Either they would lean on the drug dealing and their bars were garbage. Or they had bars and would battle rap you to death but couldn't tell a story. He's a GOAT

Big Pun really was like a Latino Biggie. He was able to make the club hits, he had the dope street album cuts. He was just a lyrical monster. We can only imagine what he would've been like now if he was still alive.

Bring back cds with cover art, lyrics, graphic and liner notes!!! That was apart of the experience for the artist and the listener.
