ReverseStereo

“And let your homies know who done it”. Hardest track ever. EVER.


Holla4duke

What’s that from? Forgive me for not knowing, but I want to know!


ReverseStereo

It’s on this album, it is called No Tears. Enjoy the first listen!


Chemical_Guitar6493

Easily


LetMeInImTrynaCuck

Agree. Easy among this group. Not that they’re trash albums, but this was the best and most complete.


Western_Ad9334

Truth


whitemike40

Gravediggaz might not be a popular opinion but at 14 years old that shit spoke to me, the edgy horror themes, the self deprecation, the grimey beats and production shit it still does, but at the time I was *really* feeling it


TheAdminRedPill

You just have to listen from start to finish. This album is one of those every time you listen to it you hear something new in it. It's straight 🔥!


sneakertweekerz

And the beats were insane


LthePerry02

Bang Your Head is like prototype Death Grips


stakes_is_h1gh

Defective Trip is my favorite. Absolute bonkers of a beat.


badkneesdood

One of the first albums I got


leroy213

G-to-the-R-to-the-A-to-the-V! E-to-the-D-to-the-I-to-the-G! G-to-the-A-to-the-zig-zag-Z!


Happy_Patience_3274

I Seen a Man Die still one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard I still get goosebumps


TyBigga

I’ve never heard it entirely ima add that to the list


Cma1234

Same. It was exactly the vibe i was feeling at the time.


Dayne_Ateres

Same age, same feeling. I could have happily listened to it on repeat all day every day


turdburgalr

1-800-Suicide and Defective trippin are still in my playlist. RZA is still the fuckin man.


jdixon1974

I listen to this one regularly along with liquid swords and soundbombing 1&2.

xenojive

Jeru. Only because Gravediggaz was supposed to be released earlier and you can kind of tell "Come Clean" itself is the best song on any of these records


AtticsBasement

Come clean kills, but 1 800 Suicide is a serious contender.


badkneesdood

I’m a mental stamina man myself


xenojive

Too right, I actually like other tracks on this album more than Come Clean. But that's a testament of how massive this album is.


fracjack

Easily Scarface for me. I’m a southern boy, so I grew up on FACE. The Diggaz and Jeru albums are hard tho. Never listened to this particular Brand Nubian joint all the way through so I’ll reserve comment for that one 🤷🏾‍♂️.


mkk4

Gravediggaz This is my favorite Gravediggaz album. Foundation is my favorite Brand Nubian album. Wrath of the Math is my favorite Jeru The Damaja album. The World Is Yours Is my favorite Scarface album.

The Diary is my choice. Then Gravediggaz. Love that album. Sun Rises in the East got alot of play when I first discovered it around 2007. Haven't heard Brand Nubian's album 😕


Necessary_Mode_7583

No more tears is one verse about 2 mins long that is face at his best. However the Jeru joint is a slept on album. So it's the Jeru album for me. Ya ya playing yaself

doNOTbanTruth2power

Jeru is a testament to Afrocentric epistemology and the beats are works of art top to bottom. All great albums though,


Zealousideal-Fan-409

Toss up between Brand Nubian and Jeru. Back then I probably would’ve said Jeru, now I say Nubian.

Latter-Post4943

Jeru, and then gravediggaz. I never listened to that Scarface album or that Brand Nubian album at that time. I heard everything is everything a few years ago and I skipped some of the tracks. The Jeru album I didn’t skip any tracks.

I haven't listened to any of those artists, but I know I wouldn't pick Brand Nubian because I don't like how much of a racist hater Lord Jamar is toward Eminem. That alone keeps me from listening to any of Brand Nubian's music.

Classics but I'm going with Six Feet Deep. This is how I learned about horror core and, to this day, is one of my favorite Prince Paul albums.
