I’ve always thought of Nas, Biggie, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, AZ and many others to be both; the successors of Eric B. & Rakim, Public... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440119955076 Wed, 6 Aug 2008 08:38:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440119955076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434619321988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author il_sini - Every now and then, an album will come along to completely re-define a genre; influence upcoming generations of musicians and be forever regarded in the highest echelons of music.

There’s also no denying that the two succeeding albums – Beneath the Surface and Legend of the Liquid Sword – while... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434269490820 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:18:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434269490820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433758965380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author il_sini - Following in the footsteps of Big Daddy Kane, Lord Finesse and DJ Mike Smooth – together with some of the sharpest hip hop producers - craft an album based predominantly on battle raps. Released in 1990 – a few years before the monster of G-Funk would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433758965380 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 03:47:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433758965380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433106095748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author il_sini - Whenever I read top ten hip hop album lists there are always regular appearances such as Nas&#146 landmark debut, Public Enemy&#146s sophomore effort, Biggie&#146s Ready to Die or Eric B. & Rakim&#146s Paid in Full, but rarely do I see Breaking Atoms... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433106095748 Mon, 9 Jun 2008 08:50:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433106095748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_430633553540?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author il_sini - To listen to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... is an attempt to penetrate through an obscure world - made up of mystic east-Asian philosophies, gun touting mafioso lifestyles and hazy drug-induced, slang-heavy crime tales - all crafted on RZA&#146s maverick... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~430633553540 Tue, 20 May 2008 09:18:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_430633553540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419224391300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author il_sini - The period between Wu-Tang Clan&#146s ground-breaking debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993) and their epic double LP Wu-Tang Forever (1997) has been touted as the &#145greatest winning streak in rap history&#146 and if we were to take a look... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419224391300 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:11:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419224391300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419185528452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author il_sini - On the third track of this album, the RZA repeatedly hollers out over a menacing bass line &#147Wu-Tang Killa Beez, we on a swarm&#148, and proceeds to introduce to the world, the Wu-Tang Clan.
