This is by far the hottest fuckin collection of old-school rap albums for ONLY $5! You kind of feel like you’re stealing from them.. but they’re alright.. and a few of ’em are dead.
If you haven’t heard of absolutely any of these artists or albums, I don’t know what the hell you are doing here. You need to buy yourself all of them, go hide in a room, and don’t come back until you have some worldliness within you.
If you have heard them however, you know the kind of lyrical heat that they are packing.

A Tribe Called Quest – Midnight Marauders (1993)
(Apple ITunes Music Review)
By their third album, A Tribe Called Quest was paving new ground for the next two decades of hip-hop culture, promoting originality and playfulness in it’s brand of music. If the group’s sophomore effort, Low End Theory was anchored by Ron Carter’s stomach-deep bass lines, Midnight Marauders is all in the hips: it’s still jazzy but more bouncy. The singles “Award Tour,” “Oh My God” and “Electric Relaxtion” have become essential in any rap fan’s collection. Phife Dawg continues his maturation into the “five-foot assasin” with battle inflected rhymes, and Q-Tip ascends to career-high levels with rhythmic lyrics that travel wherever they please (evidenced by his greeting–“Wassup kids, the Ab is speaking to the moon”). The keen balance of otherworldly sounds and down-to-earth likability has made this a fan favorite.
RIP PHIFE DAWG

2Pac + Outlawz – Still I Rise (1999)

Warren G – Regulate… G Funk Era (1994)
#5.
Raekwon – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (1994)
These two aren’t super old-school, but they feel old, and are still only $5. So for that price, I’ll revive my Weezy collection.
