I see where you are coming from on this one Maurice. I’m feelin Get Back as well I need to give a few more listens before I weigh in on why I liked it so much better than the last two.

this album is probably their best to date… yeah, albums these days lack the consistency that comes with having one producer do the entire project, but LB sounds a lot more energetic and– well, happy on this album to be honest. that comes with being able to break outta the box that lame niggaz always wanna put you in…

i’d say it’s the best hip hop album of the year right after P.Monch’s Desire.

and really– i think the comparison to Ball & G’s OTOTW is the strongest– they both had come into their own that album, they were being creative as hell… Although- JG shined because he’s by far the superior lyricist of the two (just took a second for folks to catch up)…no disrespect to Ball. Pooh just stepped up to the plate… he didn’t really outshine Tay.

Three is the magic number (c) De La Soul

Probably one of the best blogs I have seen on this joint … this year. Good lookin out.

All three groups have done outstanding work over the years. Rapper Big Pooh really came off on the album.

Getback 10/23

peace

Anyone talking shit probably have not heard the damn album yet. Do yourselves a favor, go to your local Circuit City, FYE, or Best Buy, and buy the damn album! Then, sit your happy ass down and listen to the shit. The same thing happened with the last damn album(mINSTREL sHOW). Muhfuckas were going around making preconceptions about the LP and hadn’t heard one note off the album. Go Listen to the shit, and then come back and talk shit if you don’t like it. DOn’t run around and bitch about how there is no way one album can be better than another, AND YOU AIN’T EVEN HEARD THE SHIT YET!

Yes, it’s good to hear a group like LB over Hi-Tec beats and such. But having 9th wonder produce your whole album is even better. Not because he’s better than Hi-Tec or whoever, but because having one producer on an album gives it a solidarity. Too many hip hop albums have what feels like a different producer for every track and makes the music seem unfocused. Having one producer (or just a few) means the rapper and the producer will work closely to mold a distinict sound (Granted, this doesn’t always work out so well)

The Clipse mixtapes are popular, sure. But thier not better than HHNF.

I haven’t heard GETBACK yet but it can’t be better than The Minstrel Show. In my opinion Minstrel Show is the best hip hop album since Supreme Clientele. I was a lil skeptical being that this is their first joint without 9th Wonder doing majority of the production but the “Good Clothes” track by Illmind is banging. I’m going to cop it today ……

Ay man, Bol called you “Maurice ‘The Pompatus of Love’ Garland.” LOL…classic. Guess they ain’t used to seeing a blogger put it down without the least bit of hate. Do your thing, homie.

Man, I liked The Minstrel Show better. Don’t get me wrong, I think The Get Back is a dope album. Just not as dope as The Minstrel Show. Pooh did show his ass on this one though.

Good post, Maurice.

Shut the fuck up, Purple People Eater. Who do you think you are? Ridin Dirty is awesome, and what I’ve heard of Getback has been all right. So Ridin’ Dirty’s better, that’s our opinion, but calm the fuck down.

Damn. Cats are serious about hating on LB and sucking on Riding Dirty. I see that Pimp C has everybody sniffing these days.

The Little Brother album is that bang. 1970′s heron flow. I’d give it the top rating, but then again I don’t own a magazine. So I’ll just say the thumbs-up. Nolo.

i mean, it’s good but i wouldn’t say it’s anything that great. i actually think 9th Wonder has the best beat on the album, ‘specially after the two eh Illmind beats that start things off.

can’t help but think a bunch of these beats could be better, but they’re solid.

On Top of the World is definitely an overlooked album, it’s hard to believe it’s the same two guys who are now putting out throw away albums on Bad Boy.

Good post. Cosigns with all the albums. Aquemini is my album. Hell on Earth is one of my favorite Mobb albums, that’s just me. I remember that came around when Red’s Muddy Waters dropped and I listened to both albums non-stop

Get Back gets played non-stop by me too

Murda Muzik was an evolution of sorts. It’s always good to hear hungry cats coming with that raw mindset, but they were chill on M.M.

They got use to perfecting trax on the CD format. Product was top notch. All of their older albums were pure anyway
