OKay, a little off topic, but there was a hip album that I had taped in the early '90, but I never knew who it was. Maybe one of you guys know. I believe the first track was some trippy beat and a voice saying, "This is your brain on cocaine, any questions?". That is all I remember of the album other than I listened to it a lot and loved it. (I smoked A LOT of dope back then).

If someone can tell me who that is and what the album is called, it would end something like 15 years of wondering.

Thanks for this.. I absolutely love Danger Doom and I was looking for more stuff that Doom was involved in.

Dammit, anybody?

That rings a bell, zukes, but I'm at a loss like you are. Google/Wiki?

Since I saw some singles mentioned, here's a few that came up on the iPod today.

The Show - Doug E. Fresh and The Get Fresh Crew (his second album, The World's Greatest Entertainer, is a blast)
I Go To Work - Kool Moe Dee

Tried that, tried all the music download places and lyrics places, I don't think it was an actual song though.

TurnedTheCorner · 03-07-2008, 01:51 PM

It definitely sounds like a skit/song intro. Definitely a riff on the "Brain on drugs" commercials of the time...Cypress Hill? I'm not sure, sorry.

Are you looking for newer projects from Doom? Or some of the KMD stuff?

Definitely not Cypress Hill, I would know that.

TurnedTheCorner · 03-07-2008, 02:01 PM

Well, you did say you smoked a lot at the time. Seemed like a natural fit.

Well I just listened to that Madvillain stuff and it was pretty good, not quite as good to me as The Mouse and the Mask. I look forward to when they put out another record. I'm not big into hip hop, but I really like Doom's style.

The Madvillainy album is already an undeground classic... "Accordian", "Money Folder"... Madlib came with it on the production. But I see where you're going if DangerMouse's music is more your style.

Viktor Vaughan is another alias of MF Doom's; "Vaudeville Villain" & "Venomous Villain" are his albums under that moniker. The music is still very experimental, even for him. Still dope and worth checking out.

His solo albums are key, though. "Operation: Doomsday" is what you wanna get your hands on... "Rhymes Like Dymes" is the track you wanna hear.
"Mmm... Food" is dope as well... Safer, but he kills it all the way thru.

Ted Donato still played in the NHL, and Nine still plays on my IPOD.

It was the ten albums I would put on my Ipod, not what I consider to be the ten best of all time, as per the OP. Yeah, I like Nine. It's like ODB with flow (well what most consider "flow"). I can only listen to Illmatic so many times.

As for the rest of that list, if you got a beef with any of those artists, you are wack. Guy, with the way you put yourself on a music pedestal, you could work at a record store!

In other news, my sister failed to procure a copy of Return to the 36 Chambers on vinyl for my birthday, and I ended up with Labcabincali instead

. Hopefully one day I will scratch the sweet words that come outta that unsweet mans mouth (that album is a goldmine of samples).

Ro- Busta Rhymes once said that after he heard RTT36C he finally knew how a hip hop album was supposed to be. It was his inspiration for his first solo album after LOTNS broke up.

More Show and AG
More PR&CL
More Shyheim AKA The Rugged Child (but only album#1)
More Big Daddy Kane
More BDP
More MC Shan (yeah thats right I said it - you can't understand half of Criminal Minded without having listened to Down By Law)
More D Nice
More ADOR
More Afrika Bam
More Group Home
More Jeru
More Brand Nubian
More Craig Mack
More Juice freestyles
More DITC crew (especially Lord Finesse and Diamond D)
More Das EFX
More 2Live
More Quik
More Eazy
More EPMD
More GETO BOYS
More Kool G Rap
More PE
More Run DMC
More Slick Rick (treat her like a)
MORE Organized Rhyme!

I will leave you all some words from the master

I still can't figure out how you interpreted that I had a beef with "any of the artists on your list" ???? As soon as you relax, you could see that I asked if that was your, 'personal' Top 10 albums of all-time? If it was, fine. No harm done. However, if you were to say, Nine Livez was in the Top 10 of all-time, along with the likes of the artist on your list, I'd be surprised... hence the Ted Donato/Paul Coffey comment.
There is a difference. I personally love, Dipset and Clipse... They could both be in my 'personal' Top 10, but there is no way they'd be in the Top 10 groups of all-time.
...and no, I don't work in a record store. If you assumed I had a beef with the other artists on your personal list, then who's actually putting themselves on a music pedestal?

On a business note: If you really want a picture cover LP of "36", I have 2 extras. I got no problem selling one.

ShaolinFlame · 03-07-2008, 04:27 PM

36 chambers or ODBs Return to the 36 Chambers?

I got wu tang, i just need that ODB

Picture cover is hard to come by. Come to think of it, I don't think they came out with one until the early 2000s re-press. I have a promo copy for sure. I will see if I have a second one.

MC Hammer - Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Em
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby

Hammer did stuff in the same vein as Big Daddy Kane. He just ended up becoming a big star and after all this time gets clowned for it. At one point in his career, he was the best rapper in Oakland - even better than $hort.

Actually, Let's get it started was a pretty good album, IMO. Fast paced, pretty good lyrically. Who can go wrong with Too Big M.C. as their wingman?

He is supposed to be doing a collab project with Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tang Clan: Ghostface Meets Metalface. Ghost was of course featured on "The Mask" from that Danger Doom album.

Ro, have fun at The Roots show. Their catalog of good music is long so I hope they do a good long show for you. There is no other group I own every album from and am only one EP short of a full collection. The fact they've maintained the group for as long as they have and continued to make the kind of music they do probably in my mind, makes them the greatest group in the history of the genre.

The album they put out before that one, Soul Travelin', is possibly even better.
