    Easily the album I have listened to the most in my lifetime.

    I have purchased this album multiple times since it first dropped in 1991. There are few more but they don't have the tenure of this one.

    This would be a long ass post if I used pics but I will state title & artist:

    #1-Talib Kweli "Eardrum". My first serious experience with Kweli and its by far my favorite album of his.
    #2-Skyzoo & !llmind "Live From The Tape Deck"
    #3-Big KRIT "Krit Wuz Here"
    #4-J. Cole "The Warm Up" also "Friday Night Lights"
    #5-Bizzy Bone "Alpha & Omega"
    #6-Black Milk "Popular Demand"
    #7-The D.O.C. "No One Can Do It Better"
    #8-Gil Scott Heron "Pieces Of A Man" (not hip-hop but excellent nonetheless)
    #9-Ice T "Power"
    #10-LL Cool J "Bigger and Deffer" (one of the best albums EVER)
    #11-The Roots "Game Theory"
    #12-Styles P "Time Is Money"
    #13-Twista "Adrenaline Rush"
    #14-Bone Thugs N Harmony "E.1999 Eternal" (another one of the best albums ever)
    #15-Clipse "Lord Willin"

    I tried to be as low key or old school as possible.

    Love this album, shame they couldn't stay out of the pen and couldn't get along.

    Another one:

    This was THE album I used to bump at the train station on my way to University for a short while; just loved the way they kicked rhymes and flowed between one another reminiscent of Run DMC but a much more gutter version. Beats are nice and the whole album to me just shines.

    Another one:

    Another of my favourites, from the University before my last one. Intellectual rhymes questioning life, if you're aged between 18 to 21 and have an inner pool of questions regarding life, the subject on this album will suit you to the ground. Moreover, the beats are perfect for Cise Starr and Akin and I just think the album NEEDS TO BE HEARD by anyone who likes hip hop.

    This was the best random buy ive ever done. I think this came out when i was 14, i went to the store to go buy common's album Be and had enough money for one more album. Saw this and i remember someone mentioning LB before but never checked them out. Picked this album up and was blown away. Since i was 14 this has been on every ipod/phone/computer ive ever had. I wish i still had the disc. Love this album was just listening to it today!

    I believe this album meant alot to Little Brother, they were on a mission to crossover to the mainstream audience with their style. It didn't go as planned (in which IMO there was some sabotage going on with certain people) but they still have a great following from that album. I personally love it, but its definitely a different sound than what we were used to.

    I could post up any Michita release, but this album contains two tracks of my 25 Most Played on iTunes.

    Both Footsteps and Alleguro have appeared on my Japanese Joy mixes and Michita for me carries the torch following Nujabes' passing.

    MAAANNNNNN, you better cop this (I'm just now listening to Forever Song)...the look and feel of this album is just unbelievable to me, very rare you get a combo hip hop/ jazz/ funk like this! I pop CDs in my player as I go to sleep, this has been in for like two weeks now!!

    I like em live better than their recordings...Live show is always dope. Their show was the first time I saw an MC battle a drummer.

    A little quiz for yall who know about crown city rockers...what were they called before crown city rockers?
