Hip-Hop-1990-1993

i was only listening to hardcore/jungle at this time but i've been listening to a few hiphop albums from the same period and i really like the style. i don't know that much about it though so i thought i could get some reccomendations. don't mention anything from 94 cos i've listenined to every hiphop album released in 94. has to be 90-93.
heres what i like so far
don't sweat the technique. i like this album. its got know the ledge on it and thats one of my all time favourites. i like fast rap.
a wolf in sheeps clothing-this is so good. this is the sort of thing i think about when i think of early 90s. perfection. i like it better than more well regarded things, like mecca and the soul brother for example.
plus funky technician. thats another one that is synonmous in my mind with this period. i love back to back rhyming. its incredible.
one for all. this is one of the best hiphop albus ever. i love this too much. concerto in x minor ste to the rear wake up who can get busy like this man? incredible.
wanted dead or alive definelty one of my favourite mcs.
low end thoery/ this is good too. but not as good as the others.
runaway slave
93 till infinity this is another of my all time favourites. actually i did buy this in 93 after seeing them on bbc 2 with the pharcyde.


ok, i can't be bothered thinking of any more. thats about it anyway. what else is out there?

breaking atoms. that too.

illmatic is 94. its amazing, but still 94. i never wanted to get the black moon album cos i much prefer buckshots later style and the later versions of those songs. but it is a good album though.
UMCs i will defiently check out.
i've had organized konfusion for years. i got stress when it came out then got that one afterwards. i don't listen to it that much. i usually just play prisoners of war and hypnotical gases cos they're much better than everything else as far as im concerned. ive been listening to equinox again recently. its better than i remembered it being. i thought it was a big let down at the time.
the cypress hill album is really good i agree. i used to have it but now i don't for some reason. not sure what happened. and so is whut! i like dare iz a darkside too but thats 94 i think. that eric sermon funk sound used to annoy me but now i like it.
ive got lords of the underground. thats very very early 90s, das efx influence very strong. as far as das efx goes, i love they want efx but i don't love anything else of theirs ive heard. are there any other songs as good as that?
i got freestyle fellowhsip. i fell in love with aceyalone after hearing him on this beats and lyrics compilation out of the west coast. he had a song, i think it was called longitude and latitude that i played over and over again. i just thought it was amazing. so i got freestlye fellowship off the back of that. its nice but it doesn't really hit the spot for me. i love a book of human language which is probably 96 or something. thats got to be the most ambitious hip-hop album there is, lyrically, thematically. and it holds up musically too. what else did mumbles do? anyone know? i keep looking out for all balls don't bounce but i never see it around. i've downloaded some songs off it and i really like them.
x-clan, i haven;t heard. i'll look into that.
i haven't got those early gangstarr albums either. i got hard to earn when it came out after being entranced by gurus voice listening to heavy rhyme experience. i mostly just listened to his song over and over again. ive got full clip. i spose i should get those early albums too. i like premier more from 94 on though. i think thats when he really blosommed.
wu tang i know made a lot of the first album in this period but i think of it as 94 music.
all the de la was big enough that i heard it at the time. its all great obviously. everyone nowdays says buhloone mindstate is their best album. i think probably cos it is their best album.
i really want to hear poor righteous teachers too. i hear them namechecked a lot.
KMD i like what i've heard, which is just a copy of black bastards my mate made for me. i'll look out for that album.
fear itself came out in 94. good album though. i have it on cassette. i think the best heiro mc is pep luv. hes amazing.
i haven't heard much special ed or master ace. i want to hear more of them.
the ice cube solo stuff has its moments. its not my cup of tea though.
ive heard commons first album but its too patchy for me to want to own it. has anyone heard no ids album? its after this period but its something i really want to hear.

thanks for the recommendations. don't stop now. and did i forget to mention
naughty by nature?
theres not a lot of happy hiphop around. they're best stuff still sounds good.

i can't remeber the name of the album they're on (live and let die?) but edge of sanity and ill street blues are two amazing kool g rap songs. and cockblocking is pretty funny.
and matt i remember your mid period hiphop lps from the first time around. its good. i like it. i sent you an email about it!
