Blister in the Sun is a classic. Used to love Kiss Off as well, but never really dove further into the album past that.
The album has such a casual feel that makes me feel like I'm watching someone play this on their front lawn for a crowd of 12. The singing is so perfectly flawed. The energy is raw and sarcastic.
Not my favorite in any sense, but certainly fun to come back to.

Fantastic example of the lyrical complexity of modern rap. Great tracks to support the tone, and altogether a great listen. Not something I'm quick to put on, but when I do, it's always the right vibe

Never seen the movie, never heard the music. This slaps.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...
Arrested Development
It's fun, but it definitely feels dated. Songs like Natural I think don't hold up well compared to something like Give A Man A Fish. I found I wasn't super into the record scratches and the flow of the words as much. I think a lot of the backing was real fun, but I just think the Fresh Prince vibe is a bit too dated for me.

An absolute classic. I don't know how many times I've listened to this album. Best tracks: Breathe, Us and Them, Any Colour You Like

The Notorious B.I.G.
Biggie's rapping is of the best. Always incredible flows, great backing tracks, and always a generally pretty focused theming throughout albums. Lots of stand out tracks here, but I personally think Life After Death holds up just a bit more. Big Poppa, Gimme the Loot, Juicy, Suicidal Thoughts, and bangers throughout definitely bring me back to this one, just not as often as others.
