1001 Albums Summary

Listened to it during my car ride from Rome to Acilia, to have lunch with my grandfather. I'm no hip-hop/rap connoisseur, so I can only judge the album by impulsive preference. I found it breezy and interesting, did not pay much attention to the lyrics, but the beats remind you of the best Dre without ever feeling dated. Songs I saved: King Kunta, How Much a Dollar Cost, The Blacker the Berry, i, Mortal Man. Also, big fan of the interludes, which used to be a staple in rap albums but now seem like a lost art.

Big hit, mindblown. A friend of mine apparently had recommended this album to me a while back, but I completely ignored it and forgot about it. After having listened to it this time, I recommended it back to him, and he was like, seriously?

Would have been 3 stars, but for Skeletons. Really moody and atmospheric, but beside the mentioned track nothing really stuck out to me.
