The Score was one of the albums that really made me understand how far reaching Hip-Hop could be. So many solid tracks that feel so effortless. Wyclef, Lauryn and Pras have done solid solo stuff, but it's always going to be impossible to think of what could have been had they done a follow up to the Score.

@piecesofaman6419 6 жыл бұрын
Zealots is definitely my favourite track but cowboys is without a doubt pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥. This album is so many things. Lyrical, introspective, funny, soulful and all without compromising its sound. I think "mask" is probably the most underrated track just because of how crazy the production and symbolism is but that's just me. Also it's funny how life works. I've been listening to 7 day theory all week (along with Mama's gun by Erykah Badu and ride the lightning by metallica). Also love the deep dive on this track. Edit: Also that Chinese takeout skit still remains hilarious😂😂😂😂.

The album is definitely on the list of GOATS, but I feel like Slick Rick was one of the earliest singing/rappers and a GOAT. 'Sitting in my car' 'young world' 'Lodi Dadi' TCM is due to do piece on just how deep his influence is. He is referenced more than James Brown. Black thought idolizes his skills FFS.

"Sittin In My Car" was dope! Kinda sad hip hop song too! Because it dealt with Rick dealing with his girlfriend and her homegirl too. Realizing that both of them are free spirits to any guy they meet giving out their contacts and meeting up with them. And I believe Rick just wanted to find real love he just looked in the wrong places of her homegirl that ain't really like him. His mistake wasn't intentionally though...

Another great underrated posse cut is "Back To The Grill Again" by MC Serch (coming off the break up of Third Bass) featuring Red Hot Lover Tone of The Trackmasters, Nas (two years before Illmatic came out) and a verse from one of the most forgotten great MC's of the late 80's/early 90's Chubb Rock. Every MC had a memorable verse whether it was MC Serch telling you "if you wanna kill the Klan, shoot the fans at a tractor pull" or Chubb Rock yelling "cause YOU are a BLABBERMOUTH!!!". And Nas's verse on this track might've even been better than his verse on Main Source's "Live At The Barbeque". This was 1992. Possibly the last year that MC's could have fun with their lyrics before the gangster rap era REALLY took over with the release of Dr. Dre's first solo album 'The Chronic'. Just like Justin says... If you haven't heard this track.. Punch yourself in the face! 😂😂😂

Picking a greatest Hip-hop album of all time, or even one's favourite Hip-hop album of all time, can be very tough indeeed, but if I was to pick one out of those I've gotten to own over the years, it would have the be Fugees' 'The Score', for sure. And I agree with Hunte that 'Cowboys' stands out Big Time.. It's creative and out-of-the-box like few other tracks I can think of. And I've always wondered whether I'm the only one so blown away by that track, 'coz no one ever seems to talk much about it. Great to know at least one notable Hip-hop commentator out there agrees. Finally!

There's a lot to digest here, but first let's get to the singers/rappers, and go back to 1992 I believe and there's this group called the Pharcyde, and on their debut album is a song called "Otha Fish" Slim Kid Tre is totally singing on this track, and doing so very well, I might add, check out his verse on Running Away. Moving on to song that I'm grateful for, (posse cuts) the DOC's Grand Finale, both ATCQ's Scenarios, Marely Mal's The Symphony; Live @ the Barbeque; Heavy D's Don't Curse, The Basement, Pete Rock, and C.L. Smooth; The Flava Unit's, The Malita 1&2, GangStar; and any of verison of the Root's Proceed remixes. And I can't forget, Nas, Rakim, Krs-One, Kanye West and DJ Premier's Classics(AF1 promo)

Justin, I would love a series on various artists Stans. Why they might be so loyal. I think it's a mix between the music and the person. It's what they do, how they live, image portrayed, family, friends, struggles, reason for making music, loyalty or lack of to people and people to them. I think people often hate Eminem, Jay, Kanye, Wayne people but it might be fun to learn why they love their favorite artists so much. BTW Great job as always!

Great video! Never knew there was a video. Speaking of posse cuts that are underrated I'd have to say this is so far under the radar: Rumble In The Jungle by Fugees, A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes & Jon Forte The Points by The Notorious Big, Big Mike, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Buckshot, Busta Rhymes, Coolio, Doodlebug of Digable Planets, Helter Skelter, Ill All Scratch, Jamal, Menace Clan & Redman And of course Wu Tang posse cuts like Heaterz and Winter Warz. Dr. Dre's Stranded on Death Row, 2Pac's I Got My Mind Made Up (originally for Dogg Pound) and so many more

I think another underrated cut is Rumble in the Jungle. The Fugees, Tribe called Quest and Busta Rhymes for the Muhammad Ali documentary of the same name.

Cowboys has always been one of my favorites from The Score. As far as any other underrated posse cuts I would have to go with Weight by Indelible MCs (Company Flow, J-Treds, Juggaknots) from Lyricist Lounge Volume One. Another one that comes to mind is a 9 minute posse cut called Mumia 911 from The Unbound Project Volume 1 which featured a bunch of MCs including Black Thought, Afu-Ra, Dead Prez, Zack De La Rocha, Chuck D, Jean Grae, Aceyalone, Pharoahe Monch, Tragedy, and more.

D.O.C and NWA The Grand FInale and We All Die One Day from Obie Trice both deserve a shout, particuarly D.O.C's joint, Ren and D.O.C killed it, D.O.C flowed so well over the track, rhyming on point, and those drums were perfect. I feel the Fugees as a whole are criminally underrated, very few albums are better put together than the score, but i can't enjoy them as much anymore knowing Lauryn lied about Wycelfs kid, and that Clef himself allegedly scammed people using a charity, although that isn't proven. Just think what they could've done if they had stayed together for just one more project. However, they'll still forever be legends.

+The Company Man You and Rude Jude really need to do a review on Big Pun's first album "Capital Punishment" for slept on album reviews on Rude Jude's show, that would be really amazing to see. Also, for the next TBD can you do a G.O.A.T. piece on Ras Kass that would be really great to see as well, and by the way is Ras Kass from Watts or Carson?, that is something I have been really dying to know for a while now.
