As far back as I can remember{after 17 yr old} I thought that 17 was my most fun year of my life to that point. I guess maybe I thought that because I was at the age where you were pretty much past that "having to prove you're tuff at every oppurtunity" phase and you're at the "I'm just getting fucked up and chasing pussy and money phase"{when does that phase end exactly?}So you could basically do whatever you wanted and my crew was like 12 deep and I rolled w/almost everone's cliques ..everyone did that. Once our high school got past the stupid shit it was pretty tolerable if you knew how to tweek it{or sold drugs so everbody was nice}{wow,revelation}. But then I realizeed it was probably the constant thumping of fucking godly hip hop music that any person that ever breathes should have the pleasure of growing up/into. Look @ the albums that came out this year..and that's just a snippet...case in point.
That's some heavy hitters right? I know damn...that's gotta be about it,... right?
Oh wait and here were my heaviest end to end burners......these are the albums that soundtracked the {alleged...I think I remeber it being pretty decent}best year of my life{in reality...the best music year of my life{arguably 93'was close}.
Of course the creme de la creme......My favorite album of my favorite year....Bought with my first checking account...Just moved to Pittsburgh...opened it w/50 bucks...went straight to SAM GOODY and copped 245 dollars in CD's and tapes. Here it is the crown jewel of that purchase and the Cd that put me down to my favorite group in hip hop...the live show clinches it over the other close contenders.
Perfect Album. Go get it if you don't have it.Go see them live.
Peace.
