Site Stuff
Just a quick request for today. Take a look at the list in the sidebar. No, not that one, the one with all of the artists that have been written about on HHID.
Now I know most of you are aware of the ongoing project I've forced myself to deal with, where I'm trying to finish up the catalogs of most of those artists before I either tackle some new ones (or figure out exactly what I'm trying to do with this blog, but that's neither here nor there right now).
What I'm asking is, let me know in the comments below which artists you would like to see me tackle first.
Bear in mind there are no guarantees; I'm just trying to gauge interest overall.
Note: this is not the space, nor the time to request new artists to be thrown into the mix. In fact, any new artists that end up in the comments section run the risk of being blacklisted and may never actually appear on the blog. Okay, that probably won't happen, but please keep the requests limited to my original question.
Thanks in advance,
-Max

sophomore albums u never hit yet:

no man's land
give me my flowers while i can smell them

continue the missing gaps
Nobody's actually written about Below The Heavens, so I'm not sure how we jumped straight to Blu and Exile's second project together.
DeleteLL Cool J and MF Doom!
ReplyDeleteI'd say Madlib, but I imagine you'd want to do something that could realistically be finished.
ReplyDeleteGo Nas since your pretty close to being done with him.
Funny about that.
DeleteDanny Brown (when he drops album Old), Action Bronson, Freddie Gibbs, Mr Mfn. Exquire (his new mixtape Kismet), The Pharcyde (labcabincalifornia),and Tyler the Creator's Wolf. I honestly feel like you've given most if not every rapper on here their fair due.. I think you could take the blog in whatever direction you'd like.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see the rest of the Bad Boy stable get reviewed: P. Daddy, the LOX, non-white robert, Mason.
ReplyDeleteAlso the Roc boys: Bleek, Sigel.
2pac as well.
DMX
ReplyDeleteSnoop Dogg, Kurupt, Daz
ReplyDeleteEric B And Rakim
ReplyDeleteLL Cool J
Scarface
Naughty By Nature
Masta Ace
And perhaps some of that New Wave stuff you keep talking about.
ReplyDeleteFunny. Tempting, too.
Deletedel, danny brown, and t.i. !!
ReplyDeleteIf reader reviews count, I'd be curious to know your own thoughts on Scarface's catalog, as well as the DOC's debut. Tossing that aside though, Common gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteFor the time being, Reader Reviews only count if I've also added to the artist's catalog on the site; this way, it actually chops some of the rappers off of my "to-do" list. Doesn't mean I'll never write about Scarface (I may throw something in eventually), but The D.O.C. probably won't pop up again (unless someone contributes a Reader Review of his third album).
DeleteScarface, Kool G Rap, and Vast Aire/Vordul Mega come to mind off the top of my head.
ReplyDeleteI'd personally love to hear your thoughts on Killuminati. Does my review negate any hopes of you writing one in the future? The same applies to Like Water for Chocolate. An Electric Circus review would also be nice... and potentially hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you expressed interest in the past about posting a revised review of Liquid Swords. Is that still a possibility?
If I did, it wouldn't be for the blog. If I started revisiting older reviews, I'd never finish anything.
Deletewhats the point of another liquid swords review. everyone knows everything about that album. its dope and that is all.
Deletemore action bronson reviews. yah
Blu, fashawn, ugk,
ReplyDeleteI've only written about one of those choices myself in the past, so...
DeletePublic Enemy or Run DMC
ReplyDeleteYou know that mentioning new artists ("new" = "never been written about by me before") in the comment section of a post where I specifically asked you all to NOT do that ups the chance that I'll never get around to them, right?
Deletethree 6 mafia
ReplyDeleteI think an obvious choice would be Scarface...he's arguably one of the top 10 emcs of all-time and you've barely touched his solo catalog so i would start there
ReplyDeleteI see freddie gibbs' name in the side bar and I would love a review on his album BFK or his newly released ESGN. But that's just me. Also I'd like your opinion on Kendrick's Section 80 and anything by Big K.R.I.T.
ReplyDeleteFreddie Gibbs would be great. Or Freddie Foxxx. I guess any rapper that has been screwed by the industry and is named Freddie.
ReplyDeleteBig daddy kane please
ReplyDeleteSnoop
ReplyDeletehmm for me i'll say Big Krit, Danny Brown, Boogie Down Productions, Brother Ali, Killer Mike...and definitely Jay-Z and Wu-Tang
ReplyDeleteLL Cool J
ReplyDeleteEric B & Rakim
Kool G Rap
Big Daddy Kane
And a "Killuminati" review would be nice
Being that you've covered N.W.A and most of the members solos, I'm really interested in seeing your thoughts on The D.O.C.'s No One Can Do It Better, even though there's already a reader review.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see some Snoop Dogg please, you can skip to tha blue carpet treatment if you wish... Q-tip's third solo album, Royce da 5'9
ReplyDeleteon top of that, some Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss
DeleteScarface/Geto Boys
ReplyDeleteCypress Hill
Atmosphere
Brother Ali
Del
More KRS One or Boogie Down Productions Please!
ReplyDeleteAnd EPMD!
ReplyDeletei'd really like to hear about your thoughts on death grips
ReplyDelete(please refer to instructions above)
Deleteoohhh shit, sorry i should have read that more carefully
DeleteSnoop lion
ReplyDeleteDanny Brown, Action Bronson, El-P, MF DOOM or Aesop Rock
ReplyDeletePlease review at least one more Poor Righteous Teachers album, preferably a Wise Intelligent solo album... Action Bronson. Roc Marciano. Mr Lif. Lovely blog btw.
ReplyDeleteIt would be dope with some more reviews about Esoteric's stuff (either solo or with 7L). I think you might find the Gary Numan sampling album at least novel in execution.
ReplyDeleteKiller mike and/or El-P, I specifically want a review on Run the Jewels
ReplyDeleteAnytime someone requests a new artist you should do another Wu-Tang review.
ReplyDeleteDon't give me ideas. If I actually dug into ALL of the Wu affiliates and the affiliates of the affiliates, I'd have an endless supply.
DeleteYou're really close to finishing everything that actually matters in Lonnie Lynn's catalog... except you forgot "Finding Forever". Also, like everyone else, Freddie Gibbs would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteGangsta gibbs.
ReplyDeleteMasta Ace
ReplyDeleteI was about to say Beastie Boys' "Paul's Boutique" but that's been reviewed nearly 2 YEARS ago. Where the hell have I been.
ReplyDeleteLL Cool J, Danny Brown, and MC Eiht
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear your thoughts on Ice Cube's War and Peace, as well as the Straight Outta Compton 10th Anniversary Tribute, and MC Ren's Shock of the Hour.
ReplyDeletede la soul gets my vote. that or BDP/KRS. also it seemed for a while like you were trying to hit all the early DITC releases you hadn't already hit, but that might have been my imagination.
ReplyDeletemac miller j cole
ReplyDeleteFreddie Gibbs- Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs, midwestboxframecadillacmuzik, ESGN, etc.
ReplyDeleteCunninLynguists-Strange Journey vol. 2, Oneirology
Just some suggestions, in case you are interested. I also have some artists I would recommend, but I guess this isn't the place. Have a nice day.
Blu, CunninLynguists,Killer Mike, Jay-Z (revamped), Joe Budden & The Pharcyde.
ReplyDeleteKendrick lamar, Eric B & Rakim, Scarface, Killer Mike, Common, Del the Funky Homosapien, the Pharcyde, Tyler the Creator, Doom, Q-tip, De La Soul, Lupe Fiasco
ReplyDeleteThe Roots and Common. Specifically "Game Theory" and "Like Water for Chocolate." And I also agree that a Killuminati review would be cool
ReplyDeleteCan't help but type this- IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE!
ReplyDeleteAlthough you haven't technically written about any of his solo albums, El-P's name IS in the sidebar. So, you know, that would be cool...
ReplyDeleteI've seen freddie gibbs mentioned a lot if you do choose him do cold day in hell instead of his other albums.
ReplyDeleteRas Kass : Barmaggeddon
ReplyDeleteDel Tha funkee homosapien : No need for alarm and both side of the brains.
This blog made me listen to so many artist I didn't even know existed so you might as well review whatever comes up in your mind, it only means i'm going to buy more new shit off itunes after reading your review.
MF DOOM
ReplyDeleteCunninlynguists
ReplyDeleteEl-P (particularly FanDam), Cunninlynguists, Blu & Exile.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I'd love to see your take on the D.O.C. album too... some more UGK, King Tee, DJ Quik, G-Unit's first album and the new Tyler record would be great choices as well.
ReplyDeleteAction Bronson, Kendrick Lamar (mainly section.80), Big K.R.I.T., Danny Brown
ReplyDeletePretty much all the rappers on 1 train lol
Common, Eric B & Rakim,LL Cool J, House of Pain,A Tribe Called Quest (if there is anything of them you haven't reviewed yet)
ReplyDeleteR.A. The Rugged Man, Cypress Hill , Big Daddy Kane,The first KRS-ONE solo albums please.
ReplyDeleteDo that Das EFX man and rewrite some of your old stuff like Jeru or Illmatic
ReplyDeleteIt would be cool to see some fresh takes on some of your earlier reviews. That and revisiting albums you've only done gut reactions for (it's been 6 years since 8 Diagrams(!?))
DeleteDas EFX doesn't count, and I have no current plans to revisit anything I've already written about. If I did that, I'd never get anywhere with this project, which would just increase the chances that I would get bored and leave.
DeleteLord Finesse by a FUCKING LONG SHOT!!!!
ReplyDeleteI mean the man has defined the D.I.T.C. sound with only three fucking albums!!!
He fucking discovered Big L, didn't he?
Freddie Gibbs
ReplyDeleteMajor Tom here
ReplyDeleteOrganized Konfusion get my vote.
The Equinox is fucking AWESOME!!!!
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - where's No Need for Alarm?!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd like to read your thoughts on DMX's later albums.
Tity boi. Maybe some 2 chainz. Derek Jeter. Peyton Manning. President Barack Obama. The Spice Girls. Spice 1. David Beckham. Joe Gibbs. Freddie Gibbs. The 1980 Chicago Bears. Redo Yeezus. Third Eye Blind. Cotton Eye Joe. MF Doom. Hanson. 1direction. Michael Jordan's 1998 Chicago Bulls. Oh and I'd love your opinion on Enter the 36 Chambers by the Wu-tang Clan( if you've heard of it). Thanks bro i love you.!.!
ReplyDeleteThis comment wins the Interweb for the day.

DeleteDe La!
ReplyDeleteSnoop!
id throw brother ali on there as well. dude can spit
ReplyDeletemadlib as quasimoto the unseen
ReplyDeletewhere the hell is Public Enemy
ReplyDeleteReading is fundamental. Especially reading the post you're attempting to comment on.
DeleteNot that I necessarily want a PE review (wouldn't kick one out of the bed either) but I am curious why you havent yet written about them yet, considering that your review of Cube's solo debut hinted at you not hating them.
DeleteI have my reasons. Which is also why I don't accept Reader Reviews for PE albums. If I have my way, this will all make sense in the near future.
DeleteLords of the Underground, Diamond D, Lord Finesse, Joey Bada$$, Nine, Da Bush Babees
ReplyDeleteOnly one of those artists even counts toward the topic at hand. But nice job trying to start up a Max boycott of Joey Bada$$.
DeleteThanks for reading!
I also found it kinda strange there was no review for Below the Heavens. Same deal with reviewing Edan's Primitive Plus but not Beauty and the Beat.
ReplyDeleteAs with others, I think Masta Ace desperately needs some reviews, and I'd love you to take on a few more of Elzhi's projects too.
Primitive Plus came out before Beauty and the Beat, though. For the most part, I try to tackle an artist's discography in chronological order, except for when I obviously don't, as in the case of LL Cool James.
DeleteOh how I wish that you never wrote about ymcmb or ofwgkta....
ReplyDeleteI would post them here and you would boycott there forever. Sparing us the pain of having yet another blogger write about them.
Though it IS admirable that you've shitted on each and every one of their albums.
I've only written about two Odd Future projects, though, and the Earl Sweatshirt one wasn't even that bad. Tyler, though, yeah. But not every artist in the sidebar is a part of the ongoing project, so I don't necessarily have plans to revisit everyone. For example, I'm not reviewing Weezy's entire catalog: I just have too many better things to do with my life.
DeleteYo Max, could you review 'America is Dying Slowly', the compilation by Red Hot Organisation please?
ReplyDeleteThis is not even close to the kind of feedback I was originally asking for. I'm not saying "no, never", but I have other priorities to handle first.
DeleteCellblock P
ReplyDelete1 direction.. Now..!
ReplyDeleteblue carpet by snoop, kendrick's first and second, and big krit
ReplyDeleteDJ Quik please!!! Way 2 Fonky!!!
ReplyDelete100th comment
ReplyDeleteCunninlynguists and scarface
ReplyDeletePete Rock please! :D
ReplyDeleteDo Geto Boys and Scarface count? The current reviews are all by readers but... ;)
ReplyDeleteA review of Havoc's 13 would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteHavoc and Prodigy. Not Mobb Deep though, you've already done their best! But 13 by Havoc and Albert Einstein by Prodigy would be sweet!
ReplyDeleteI want to see a review on Fight Club
ReplyDeleteLarge Professor and DITC please!
ReplyDeleteMic Tyson!
ReplyDeleteBig Shug, Guru and Freddie the Foxx! (not neccesarily in that order) ;)
ReplyDeleteCypress Hill/DJ Muggs please
ReplyDeleteHandsome Boy Modeling School! Please, review White People then their discography is complete! (As a group that is) :D
ReplyDeleteUm, http://hiphopisntdead.blogspot.com/2010/01/handsome-boy-modeling-school-white.html
DeleteAlthough you just brought to my attention that I only labeled it as 'Automator' and 'Prince Paul' and not 'Handsome Boy' for some reason, so thanks for that.
Oh right sorry and oddly you're welcome for that :D
DeleteMan I'm desperate for you to review Havoc's 13. Please!
ReplyDeleteHaha please don't do all 100 of Tony Touch's mix tapes; That'd take forever! :)
ReplyDeleteLord Finesse, This blog needs some more D.I.T.C goodness
ReplyDeleteKool G Rap and DJ Polo - Live and Let Die. I know there's a reader review for it but it'd be nice to know your opinion on it
ReplyDeleteI'm not even that big of a Pac fan, I've never bought any of his cds or anything but I would like to know your opinion on Makaveli.
ReplyDeleteE-Double and Mic Doc
ReplyDeleteCommon, I'm desperate to hear your thoughts on Like Water For Chocolate. Pretty please? ;)
ReplyDeletePrince Paul's second album
ReplyDeleteDilla Ghost Doom. The ep's only three tracks long!
