    I remember when De la Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising came out. At first everybody said it was totally wack. It didn't take years, but it was about a month or so before everybody got it.

    R.A.P. Music took me many listens to like. I always like a few songs on there but El-P's production needed to grow on me

    Crazy hing about that Q Tip, i was listen to Wiz Khalifa (i know) and he used the 'Gettin Up' beat. Love that beat and song, so i went back and started listen to the Renaissance

    Renaissance is hard. I liked it from jump.

    I co-sign Below The Heavens though, I always have found Blu to be mediocre and boring as a rapper but that album is hot...I'll hand it to him. I guess I had to get used to it.

    ATLiens, oddly enough my Mom got me a copy of it from this place she used to work.

    She got me that and the Biggie Duets album that I actually liked.

    Shout out to Moms.

    A lot of Scarface's ? .

    When I was younger I just heard him, wasn't overly impressed. Now that I'm older, I listen to that OG all the time.

    *plays Jesse James*

    Grand Puba-2000. I remember wanting to buy it when it came out but I kept forgetting about it. I found it a couple years ago at a flea market for like 3 bucks and it stays in my CD player

    Aquemini
    It got released right around the same time Jay Z Hard Knock Life vol2.
    Jay Z and the Swizz Beats and Timbaland production on the LP was a major sound for that era, and I got it for some reason. Aquemini had some slow to mid tempo tracks and I had a hard time understanding why it got 5 mics in The Source mag and Hardknock vol2 got 4.5.

    Aquemini had stuff that wasn't even rap. It had Spoken-word poetry ex(Spottieoddidopilicious). About 9 months to a year later, it is in my top3 fav LP's all time.
