Re-visiting Silkk's 'Made Man'

It stinks as much as I remembered. And this was the first NL album of 1999. I remember it selling a lot, but wow what a dud to lead off the year with. Silkk still owes me somewhere between $16-$18

AACA Clothing is Back!

In 1991, AACA shoved its way to centerstage becoming the iconic reflection of the time. Artists rocked AACA sweatshirts onstage, in photoshoots & their videos

They had more stuff but I guess they sold out of a lot.

5 Classics?

 

[finessence]

Tip got at least 3. His first 3 definitely

 

[Ricky D]

I’d say two classics (Trap Muzik and KING), three really good albums (I’m Serious, Urban Legend, and Paper Trail) and a few decent albums (T.I. vs T.I.P., Trouble Man, No Mercy). Then there’s everything else that I probably skipped over.

 

[finessence]

Seen a comment say “In da club” kills TIP whole catalog... then I remembered 50 comments full of NYers. IN DA CLUB WAS CHEESY THEN AND CHEESY NOW.

 

[marikomorose]

5 Classics?

50 has 1 (GRODT) though I think it was only good in that timeframe as body of work, & T.I. has 1 (Trap Muzik) & a possible (King).

 

[finessence]

If a dude pulls up next to you playing “In Da Club”, “Candy Shop” or “Window Shopper” how would you react?

Suspects indicted for 2002 murder of Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay’s







NEW YORK (AP) — Two men have been indicted in the 2002 slaying of hip hop artist Jam Master Jay, which until now had been one of New York City's most notorious unsolved killings, three law enforcement officials told the Associated Press on Monday.

The officials were not authorized to speak publicly and did so on the condition of anonymity. One of them identified the suspects as Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan. Federal prosecutors were expected to announce the charges at a news conference Monday afternoon.

Washington, who had reportedly been living on a couch at Jay’s home in the days before his death, was publicly named as a possible suspect or witness as far back as 2007. He is currently serving a federal prison sentence stemming from a string of robberies he committed while on the run from police after Jay's death.

In court papers filed at the time, prosecutors alleged that Washington waved a handgun around and ordered people in Jay's Queens recording studio to lie on the ground while another man killed him on Oct. 30, 2002.

Washington “provided cover for his associate to shoot and kill Jason Mizell,” prosecutors wrote.

Jason “Jay” Mizell, known professionally as Jam Master Jay, was a member of 1980s hip-hop sensation Run-DMC with Joseph “Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniel. Their hits included “It's Tricky,” “Christmas in Hollis” and the Aerosmith remake collaboration “Walk This Way.”

Jay was shot once in the head with a .40-caliber bullet by a masked assailant at his studio in Hollis, the Queens neighborhood where he grew up, police said at the time. He left behind a wife and three children.

Police identified at least four people in the studio with Jay, including the two armed gunmen. The city and Jay's friends offered more than $60,000 in reward money, but witnesses refused to come forward and the case languished.

Jay's acquaintance with Washington upset his family. Before sleeping on Jay's couch, Washington had been linked to the 1995 fatal shooting of Randy Walker, a close associate of the late Tupac Shakur.

eh, i don't really judge what ppl listen to unless i think it's bad. i personally listen to anything from anytime.

I’m serious and urban legend are classics. Ask anyone 28 and over from the south.

“Still ain’t forgave myself” done made mannnnnnnyyyy grown men cry tears

when it comes to music acumen and discussions of classic songs, you have to be a student of the genre. Period. I expect white people and certain demographics to side with 50 because of his cheesy pop songs. But ask southerners and people with a real grasp of music (not many have it) and TI clearly is the better artist

Wow at the JMJ news. All these cases getting reopened/solved after Netflix do a doc on them is crazy.

 

[marikomorose]

negative. I’m serious, Urban Legend, Trap Muzik, and KING

That's your personal opinion. If u asked me to personally rank Kanye albums "Yeezus" would be at the top. That's not an objective hip hop opinion.

It depends on the type of (white) ppl you're around. I'm willing to bet that the majority of ppl don't listen to albums. Also, T.I. vs 50 would go like Ross & Chainz. 50 would be Chainz, & ppl aren't saying it b/c they're scared of getting internet bullied.
