Top 5 mac dre cd's
- Thread starter MilpitasDanksta
- Start date
1. STUPID DOO DOO DUMB--MD's best overall in terms of lyrics and music.
2. YOUNG BLACK BROTHA--production's a little dated; otherwise, a must.
3. RAPPER GONE BAD--MD settles into enjoying life. Diverse...
4. GENIE OF THE LAMP--the best "after hours"-type MD CD. Great features, too.
5. DREGANOMICS--more party-oriented than #4, but MD shows finesse here.
Now, just for the hell of it, I'll make a 6 through 10 for the other MD solos I've heard (but get #'s 1 through #5 FIRST)...
6. HEART OF GANGSTA, MIND OF PLAYA...'03 version--guess MD knew the OG was a rip-off! Sound quality's better here, and bonus tracks flesh it out to a more appropos length. Ignore the 2000 version and get this re-issue instead.
7. AL BOO BOO--a little too short; otherwise I'd rank it w/ #4 and #5.
8. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAY...--druggy but fun; "Chevs & Fords" is a classic.
9. THIZZELLE WASHINGTON--songs are cool, but sound quality fucked some of this up.
10. MAC DRE's THE NAME--these songs seem outtake-ish to me for some reason.
PEACE!

Sorry 'bout that! I assumed Militpas Danksta was referring to full-length ALBUMS, not EPs. But since you asked, WHAT'S REALLY GOIN' ON is of a piece w/ YOUNG BLACK BROTHA (sort of like Cube's KILL AT WILL was a companion piece for AMERIKKKA'S MOST back in the day). It's worth copping once you have YOUNG BLACK BROTHA--IF you can find it (for some reason, a lot of stores I go to claim it not to be in their computer, while others do, so God help you in getting it! LOL)!
As for BACK IN DA HOOD, it's an interesting concept--MD rapping over the telephone, much like X-Raided would do a little later. I haven't heard it in awhile, 'cause my copy was a tape that eventually got eaten by my old Chevy Caprice's player (LOL)! From what I remember, I was never bored w/ it, but you're probably better off getting MD's regular CDs. Nice, but not essential.
And finally, the first ROMPILATION's a must, the second ROMPILATION's good, but not great, MAC DAMMIT MAN & FRIENDS is garbage (except for four or five songs), the Cutthoat Committee's TURF BUCANEERS is dope (if you like the vibe on DREGANOMICS, you should dig this, too), and I have yet to hear the third ROMPILATION, so I can't comment on that (yet). YEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
PEACE!
