Is main ingredient the first or second album. Someone hit me over the
head, cause i dont have either of them, even though i planned to when
each album was released. I do remember that I really
like the first album with reminisce T.R.O.Y. e.t.c. Pete Rock is a
really good producer, I wonder what he is doing now?

Im not sure if the earlier msgs where referring to someone on the list
wanting rto know some albums to check out. Here are some Hiphop albums
that i think acid jazz fan might like.

Roots illadelf halflife
Common sense 3rd album is nice with the rhymiong to some acid jazzish, and
just plain jazzy songs.
Common sense 2nd album is not as live instrument based, but it stilll has
a lot of jazzy samples e.t.c
US3---first and second album
Blk eyed peas
Pharcyde, Bizarre ride
Digable planets---blowout comb and the first one. 1st album was better
imo
Brand new heavies--heavy rhyme experience (or something like that)
vol II
DE LA soul buhloone mind state
cant remember any others now. Have You guys heard these albums? help me
out
with the names. I wouldnt mind opinions on any of these. bad or good i
dont care.
