Recorded in 1994, this was certainly ahead of its time - mostly bangers, this entire album just... works. I'm a big fan of this style of hiphop.

200 of my favorite albums that I swear by, from any genre - limited to one per artist. I always wanted to do this since the start of the decade and finally got around to it. I’ve had a lot of different musical obsessions up to this point and periods where i was deep into specific genres so I tried to make sure all of that was represented here. Overall it’s a mix of personal classics that I go back to constantly, albums that helped form my taste, and some recently stuff I love. Didn’t want to stress too much over the order, but i’d say the first 50ish are pretty accurate. I’ll post the list below, and a version of the charts with the titles included. Let me know what you think - any favorites here? What would some of your picks be? Let me know. Peace.

Cosmic Rapp - is that even a thing?
I like inventing my own genres. It’s a thing I have done for a while, reminds me of making cassette tapes from dubbing songs from music from satellite radio stations that were playing music from all over the world, back in Zambia. Cosmic Rapp isn’t a thing but I want it to be. Cosmic music abounds in the world of music collectors and lovers of music that exists outside the bounds of capitalism's omnipresent grip. For Hip Hop it’s a hard thing to be cosmic because cosmic-ness at its core is about sounds that tackle the cosmic expanse. Sounds that abandon the here and now and explore the transcendent. Cosmic jazz, disco, rock, soul, and of course cosmic electronic variations abound. In the case of Hip Hop while the potential exists and have existed in the past think Afrika Bam, often times one of hip hop's strengths is its penchant for groundedness, obsessing about the here and now and never quite speculating or trying to create potential new worlds and realms. The genre's obsession with realness, with grappling with the things of the here and now, grappling with our pleasures and future earthly desires sometimes make it more earthly than cosmic. After much thought though I came up with some caveats mostly in the form of single songs but also projects that completely risk it all and try to tackle broader larger themes. An understandable retort will be to reference all the great underground rap that tackles broader social issues my argument is even the conscious guys tend to be very obsessed with earthly issues or fixing earthly issues. Another critique will be to reference all the mind blowing visuals and sonics of forward thinking acts like Outkast or Missy Elliot & Timbaland and even for those acts they really never dwell in the expanse long enough for me to put them in the cosmic rapp category but they might appear on my list. For this article, my lists will be twofold one will be for x10 cosmic rapp albums and x10 cosmic rapp songs. In no particular order peep the below:
x 10 Cosmic Rapp Albums (In no hierarchical order)
1. Cannibal Ox - Cold Vein
