[RuffDraft]

In order

1. Below the Heavens - Blu & Exile
2. When Life Gives you Lemons, You Paint that shit gold - Atmosphere
3. A Long Hot Summer - Masta Ace
4. Weatherman Lp - Evidence
5. Float - Aesop Rock

Last 2 are a surprise, those first three albums are nice though, I think When Life Gives You Lemons is Atmosphere's best.

Yeah i agree im a massive fan of Atmosphere, they got 3 classics imo. When life gives you lemons, God Loves Ugly & Lucy Ford. they are all amazing. but when life gives you lemons is best material, musically its 10/10.

Weatherman Lp is amazing aswell. the production and features are dope on that album.

Aesop rock Float i put in there cause its just some outlandish stuff, lyrically insane album.

I'm a fan of Aesop's, particularly this track:

I listened to the Weatherman LP, I thought it was nice, but it never caught me like anyone would consider it top 5, I'll check it out again.

Agreed on Atmosphere, they're getting better with each album because Ant's getting even better on the boards (IMO).

Yeah with Atmosphere you can tell they are getting musically better. To All My friends .... is a good cd, a couple of songs were amazing
(Scalp, Freefalling defo) but i dont see them toppin When life gives you lemons.

You a fan of Felt? i got all their cd's the 2nd Felt album was a near classic for me and the 3rd one was great (Aesop rock on the production). thing is Float is in my top 5 underground cd's but its the only aesop i got haha. i should probs get another one of his cd's...

Yeah, I don't think they'll be able to top WLGYL either, but I know their next release is going to be close, they're such a talented duo, it's a shame they get flak on some boards.

I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm a big fan, but I have listened to both of those Felt albums, not the first one though. Labor Day and None Shall Pass are my other Aesop Rock albums, both are nice, he's a talented dude. But not one of my favourites that I bump regularly.

He appears on Eligh's Grey Crow too:

It's too hard decide on my favourite, the one that I have played the most is probably Masta Ace's A Long Hot Summer, k-os' Joyful Rebellion or CYNE's Evolution Fight...

Underrated album, Danger Mouse gave Jemini some nice beats for that album... pretty atmospheric production.
