I received the number 24 from the random number generator, which happens to be Illmatic by Nas. Frankly, I am shocked that this album is that low. More like 24 of all-time albums, not just rap albums. I absolutely love, love, love this album, and was really jamming out to it while doing some work. Interested in seeing how long this one stays at number 1 in my list.
First Track: The Genesis, which isn't so much a song, but an intro with small samples of other songs. Almost a pre-intro as an homage to hat he is going to be doing with this album.
Start: Honestly, this might be the worst part of the album.
Best Attribute: Lyricism and flow. If I am limiting myself to only one "best attribute" (OK - two).
Worst Attribute: Only 9 tracks outside of The Genesis
Best Song: The World is Yours - Honestly, this answer probably changes each time I listen, with N.Y. State of Mind, Life's a Bitch, and One Love all taking turns. This time, it was The World is Yours.
Worst Song: One Time for Your Mind - Not a bad song at all; this is just the parameters I have chose for my listing that I have to categorize something as "Worst Song."
Most Interesting Song: Memory Lane (Sittin' in the Park) - A little haunting, maybe? Just always found it interesting, but indescribable
Most Interesting Quality: The xylophone in One Love
Would I listen again: Hell Yeah! Probably even this week!
Who would I like to Re-Make/Re-Imagine this Album: Naughty by Nature
Rolling Stone Ranking: 24
My Current Ranking: 1
Projected Final Ranking: No worse that 4 or 5
