damn man thats hard. In no order I would have to say Illmatic, It takes a nation of millions, Criminal Minded, Death Certificate, Low End Theory/Midnight Marauders (I cant decide which one is better haha), Paid in Full, Enter the 36 Chambers, the Chronic, and illadelph halflife. This can change though, and this isnt my top 10 favorite albums, but the ones I would say are the best. For example, Edutainment is my favorite BDP album, but I would say Criminal Minded is better. How bout you what are your top 10 hip hop albums?
DAMN, I was really hoping Boondocks was coming back this year.
My fav Wire characters would be Cedric Daniels, Bodie & Marlo. Probably Wee-Bay just for the "I GUESS I'D TAKE ''NOTHER 200 YEARS FOR SOME POTATA SALAD".
Why you hate Jimmy? At least before season 5 anyway, that's totally understandable.
Nah, there are still plenty Middle-Eastern Christians too, though they we're very underreported, often for fear of discrimination.
Nearly the whole Middle-East used be Christian before the Arab invasions in the middle-ages, in Iran Persians had their own unique religion called Zorastrianism.
Honestly, despite "The Nation Of Islam" & all that, Muslims were enslaving Africans long before European Christians, in fact Muhammed himself owned many slaves!
Sorry for the history lesson, but I honestly think Islam is one of the worlds most intolerant & warlike religions, not that their isn't good things about it but it's just a corruption of Christianity to me.
Yeah basically my gist is that although Islam is seen as the Black Americans original religion, Muslims were enslaving Africans nearly 1000 years before Europeans.
The Koran openly says slavery is fine, although slaves are too be well-treated. Christianity for all it's flaws was originally the religion of slaves & the downtrodden in the Roman Empire, Islam basically started off the Religion of Arab conquerers & hasn't really changed. But I guess if it helps you in your life better than Christianity that's cool, Churches seem pretty crazy in America sometimes.
Yeah they are closely related, different versions of the same Religion, that's why their the "Abrahamic" faiths. Christianity was originally just a sect of Judaism & only for Jews. It was Saint Paul who spread the religion to the Romans & it quickly dominated the whole of Europe even though the government hated it because it championed the weak & was strongly anti-War. (of course people use still used it for their own purposes)
Islam has never much converted people, the Arabs basically changed the whole Middle-Easts religion by force & the only original parts of the Koran are the ones about Muhammed conquering Arabia & things about making the whole world Muslim by war if nessecary.
Sure they built a lot of beautiful Mosques, but Islam really isn't a "turn the other cheeck/love your enemy" peaceful type religion.
ANYWAY nuff knowledge dropping, it's just that when dudes like Nas & Rakim refer to 5% it's basically NOTHING to do with Islam at all other than the name.
That albums list is old and inexact....it's always really hard for me to put things in order. I just love so much and for different reasons that's it's easier for me to say I love an album that rank it vs. others. Still thanks for the shout out.
Top MC's is really hard for me too but #1 is Biggie Smalls. Top 10 at gunpoint would probably be him, Jay-Z, 2Pac, Chuck D, KRS-One, Andre 3000, Ice Cube, Big Boi, Rakim, and Redman. Everyone knows them though, I like drawing attention to the super-underrated guys like Eightball, MJG, Treach, Mystikal, Juvenile, E-40, Twista, and many more.
