They both are GREAT emcees, but don't have the respective solo careers to help justify their legendary statuses. They both have 4 albums and both debuts: Tical and Black on Both Sides are classics, both sophomore efforts were experimental and not as highly regarded as the debuts, Tical 0: the prequel and Tru3 Magic were both chemistryphysicsmathshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07292852790862389541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-30839851471651327962011-03-30T19:36:50.195-05:002011-03-30T19:36:50.195-05:00Possibly the best hip hop album of 2009 in my opin...Possibly the best hip hop album of 2009 in my opinion, Mos Def back on top of his game. As for Voodooverse saying Slick Rick sounds out of place on Auditiorium, it's the best I've heard Slick Rick for ages and he kills it on that track (which is one of the highlights of the album) This album gets better with every listen.tuff2chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319868957340294479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-38962209254180724902010-02-18T03:35:58.995-06:002010-02-18T03:35:58.995-06:00Do yourself a favor and listen to yourself: review...Do yourself a favor and listen to yourself: review some Madlib albums. Madlib is my 2nd favorite producer and a pretty creative rapper when he chooses to do so. I don't think you've reviewed any instrumental albums, but his albums under his alias "Quasimoto" are entertaining as hell.
