"Don't Sweat The Technique"-Eric B. & Rakim

http://www.mediafire.com/?fvbjdxfxvsj

Eric B. & Rakim's last album is bananas...Not quite as groundbreaking as Paid In Full and arguably Follow The Leader, however, it includes some of their defining songs on here. "Know The Ledge", "Don't Sweat The Technique", and "What's On Your Mind?" are some of their best material.

"What's on Your Mind?"
"Teach the Children"
"Pass the Hand Grenade"
"Casualties of War"
"Rest Assured"
"The Punisher"
"Relax with Pep"
"Keep the Beat"
"What's Going On?"
"Know the Ledge"
"Don't Sweat the Technique"
"Kick Along"

"2Pacalypse Now"-2Pac

http://www.mediafire.com/?bz1oomxszmy

2pac's 1st album...It has a very underground feel to it and does not feel like some of his latter albums...Some of it sounds a little dated but it still is a very solid album.

"What's The 411?"-Mary J. Blige

http://www.mediafire.com/?72aidzytpw5

I saw this album sitting used for $3.99 on the shelf at "Generation Records" in Manhattan last week and decided to take a chance on it after being reccomended it a long time ago..I did not expect this to be a masterpiece such as most of soul/rnb library of the 1970s are yet after listening to it once it truly is a great album..90's rnb is very odd at times however this album has a unique feel to it..It doesn't have the popular remix of "Real Love" that featured a then unknown Notorious B.I.G.(it was released in 1992) but there are plenty of great songs on this..My favorites is "Sweet Thing" and "Real Love" kikik.

"Leave A Message" - 3:38
"Reminisce" - 5:24
"Real Love" - 4:32
"You Remind Me" - 4:19
"Intro Talk" (with Busta Rhymes) - 2:17
"Sweet Thing" - 3:46
"Love No Limit" - 5:01
"I Don't Want To Do Anything" (Duet with K-Ci of Jodeci) - 5:52
"Slow Down" - 4:33
"My Love" - 4:14
"Changes I've Been Going Through" - 5:15
"What's the 411?" (featuring Grand Puba) - 4:13

"Be"-Common

http://www.mediafire.com/?2mmcm0vjlev

For a rapper in his mid 30's and whose best album was made in 1994, there wasn't a ton of hype going into the release of this album in 2005..However, Kanye West seemed to have ressurected his career by hitting him with some solid beats..This may be a little overated imo because of the lack of good conscious MCs in the game today, however, it still is a solid album..At times it may seem like he is overly-conscious and he may get some flack because he isn't the most lyrical Emcee mainly because he approachs his songs like poems..The two best songs on the album are "The Corner" and the live Dave Chappelle Show version of "The Food". All in all a solid album but not as good as many others would claim.

"Graduation"-Kanye West

http://www.mediafire.com/?bjdedto9vyy

The most hyped album of the year is a solid effort..This album doesn't have the "oh shit" factor, that some of the tracks on "College Dropout" had and it doesn't have the distinct beats of "Late Regisration" but it does have a unique feel onto itself..Its an album that grows on you and you can't listen to just once and judge..This album does have flaws on it though..Lil Wayne's verse on "Barry Bonds" is awful, which is odd since he is widely considered one of the top lyricists in the game yet gets out done by Kanye who isn't considered to be one of the top lyricists..Also "Homecoming" seems kinda corny and Chris Martin really disrupts the flow of the album and "Drunk And Hot Girls" is a filler..Kanye also crosses the line from being really creative with his lines to just being really corny("I'm like a fly Malcolm X/buy any jeans neccessary").. Nevertheless, there is plenty to praise on this.."Everything I Am","Stronger", "Can't Tell Me Nothing","Champion", and the Jay-Z ode/diss "Big Brother" will go down as some of the stronger tracks of his career..A solid album but not quite a classic.

Good Morning (Intro)

"Capital Punishment"-Big Pun

http://www.mediafire.com/?9ogonbtrxn2

Big Punisher could have had been hip-hop's next big thing after Biggie and 2pac got murdered and this album proves it...He isn't quite as original or talented as his most obvious big influence(The Notorious B.I.G.), however he is arguably more lyrical..This album is full of his best material rather than the more commercial "Yeeeah Baby". It is a little short of classic just because it feels a little too long at 24 tracks..If he had trimmed it down a little it could have been a perfect album..

"Intro"
"Beware"
"Super Lyrical" (featuring Black Thought)
"Taster's Choice"
"Still Not a Player" (featuring Joe)
"Intermission"
"The Dream Shatterer"
"Punish Me" (featuring Miss Jones)
"Pakinamac Part. 1"
"You Ain't a Killer"

"Capital Punishment" (featuring Prospect)
"Uncensored" (featuring Funkmaster Flex)

Arguably his best album, All Eyez On Me is 2Pac's most famous album...Most of the albums seemed to have been made to been blasted in your car and there are a couple "fillers", however, it is an amazing album..Lyrically 2Pac is not on par with Biggie or Nas however all his albums are pretty solid and this is definitley one of his top 3 depending on what type of 2Pac material you are into.
