[Ether44mag]

Nigga got got blackballed at a time when LL still had some pull in the game. 2000bc is classic though.

So has there been a better Freshmen class since 98?

 

[So ILL]

Pretty hilarious how Silkk got the front page.

No Limit was cracking in '98, bruh.

I was just thinking that someone should go back and rank freshman rappers prior to xxl doing it..

If I'm judging them on the projects they did at the time

X

Pun

Kurupt

Ball

Silk (charge it to the game got a lot of replay in 98. It was a good album....?)

Cap (granted I didn't hear the pillage till many after it's release it's a solid effort)

Nore

Cam

Never listened to a cannabis album but 2nd rd ko is a classic dis record..

Did Peter n tariq even put out an album?

 

[illedout]

@trilladelic check out this Cannabis joint..

 

[J-GUTTA]

Lmao NORE was trash, that nigga was the up North Silkk the Shocker

CNN- War Report is a classic album

And N.O.R.E being classic is debatable..

Nore switched his style up/started falling off on Melvin Flynt the hustler..

Solid album people just talk down on it because Nore himself talks down on it. He didn't want to make an album after his Dad and Pun died. "Sometimes" was my shit. Bood Money 3 is actually my favorite of the 3.

Again how is Ball on there Comin' Out Hard came out in 1993. Also Silkk The Shocker's debut album The Shocker came out in 1996.
