The Goats ; Tricks of the Shade.......is probably sitting at 4...
Reason : this album was a factor in my high school days,,, had it on cd & cassette, NOW
this album was a packed story ( funny as hell ), entirely produced by joe " the butcher " nicolo which was way ahead of its time in thee beat department. An political, drugged charged lyrics that punches u right after thee 1st skit. I was on a serious acid trip when i first heard this l.p, which enhanced thee sound by 50 times. No matter how thee tempo of thee song was goin or when thee skits started, it had u on u wantin more. 25 tracks
(14 songs-11 skits ), with tracks like : T.V Cops, Aaah D Yaaa, Ru Down wit da Goats,
to name a few had thee beats thumpin like crazy thru thee headphones, & any good boomin systems. Was it a hip-hop impact on thee industry ? Hell no, but if u like music with a concept behind it ( like myself ) & serious bang of beats & it doesn't sound like every thing else ( like nowadays ),,,, check this Lp, which is #4 on my fave 5 hip-hop
albums of all time....
i don't nkno how to count so #5 will be next,
Imma different, so don't compare me to anotha...... & thats why he's sooooooo....
.... cuz in every category i got a favorite 5
here's my 5 hip hop albums that impacted me the most when I was younger.
