Neek The Exotic - Exotic's Raw (2003)

Neek is one of those dudes that should have blown up but never really did. It wasn't that he was a great lyricist or anything, but he always brought a shitload of energy to the mic. I could do without the corny chorus with the raspy voice shit, but the rest is raw as sushi. Produced by Large Pro, you know the beat is at least acceptable. Dope sh*t which u need to have it in your collection!

The Roots - Illadelph Halflife (1996)

For the Roots' second major-label album, the band apparently recognized the weaknesses of the debut, since there are several songs which provide more structure than previous jam-session efforts — two even became R&B radio hits. But for all its successes, Illadelph Halflife mostly repeats the long-winded jams and loose improvisatory feel that characterized Do You Want More?!!!??!. And while these songs may sound great live (a field where the Roots excel over any other rap act), in a living-room setting listeners need hooks on which to focus.

Funkdoobiest - Which Doobie U Be (1993)

Funkdoobiest's debut album, Which Doobie U B?, sounds a lot like their mentors in Cypress Hill -- a lot. Not only is DJ Muggs' production very similar, but lead MC Son Doobie's flow often resembles a more robotic version of B Real (that's a compliment, by the way). But it all works anyway -- Muggs is in his absolute prime as a producer here, and Son Doobie's rhymes are fittingly surreal and stoner-friendly, albeit more cartoonish than menacing like his Cypress counterpart. The record is front-loaded with its best songs -- "The Funkiest," "Bow Wow Wow," and "Freak Mode" were the underground hits, and they're also the first three cuts here. Most of the rest of the album keeps their vibe going with pretty admirable consistency, and stays engaging the whole way through. B Real drops in for a guest spot on the Little Richard-sampling "Wopbabalubop," and there are some nifty echoing drums on "Here I Am." It may not break any new ground, but frankly, Which Doobie U B? is better than any latter-day Cypress Hill album.

Fugees - The Score (1996)

A breath of fresh air in the gangsta-dominated mid-'90s, the Fugees' breakthrough album, The Score, marked the beginning of a resurgence in alternative hip-hop. Its left-field, multi-platinum success proved there was a substantial untapped audience with an appreciation for rap music but little interest in thug life. The Score's eclecticism, social consciousness, and pop smarts drew millions of latent hip-hop listeners back into the fold, showing just how much the music had grown up. It not only catapulted the Fugees into stardom, but also launched the productive solo careers of Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill, the latter of whom already ranks as one of the top female MCs of all time based on her work here. Not just a collection of individual talents, the Fugees' three MCs all share a crackling chemistry and a wide-ranging taste in music.

Fugees - Blunted On Reality (1994)

Given the brilliance of The Score and the shortage of Fugees albums in the '90s, many fans probably sought out Blunted on Reality. After all, though the album pretty much disappeared as soon as it appeared back in early 1994, it was still the Fugees, and that was reason enough for many to seek it out. Those fans no doubt were a little shocked, though, by what they found. Yes, Blunted features Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, and Pras, but it's not quite the same trio that fans of The Score have come to know. Here they offer their take on rap circa 1993. However, rather than use rap as a starting point and depart from there into a myriad of other directions as they did on The Score, they used rap as a starting point and never depart, instead emulating the popular style of the era. In that sense, it comes across as a bit derived and undoubtedly confined by its stifled creative ambitions.

MC Lyte - Eyes On This (1989)

A rapper with considerable technique and a fine sense of humor, Lyte was one of the most highly regarded female MCs of the late '80s and early '90s -- especially on the East Coast.Eyes on This, the Brooklyn native's second album, tends to be one-dimensional lyrically -- she spends too much time bragging about how superior her rapping skills are and how inept sucker MCs are. Though it's hard not to admire the technique and strong chops she displays on such boasting fare as "Shut the Eff Up! (Hoe)" -- an attack on Lyte's nemesis, Antoinette- and "Slave 2 the Rhythm," she's at her best when telling some type of meaningful story. Undeniably, the CD's standout track is "Cappuccino," an imaginative gem in which Lyte stops by a Manhattan cafe and gets caught in the crossfire of rival drug dealers. In the afterlife, she asks herself: "Why, oh why, did I need cappuccino?" Were everything on the album in a class with "Cappuccino," it would have been an outstanding album instead of simply a good one.

Critical - Medical Records (2008)

When you hear Orlando, FL, you may stereotype it with theme parks, boy bands, and vacation. Beneath the surface, however, lies a solid hip-hop scene that would make true believers proud. Enter Critical Madness (CM): the combination of emcess cRITICAL and Madness, two minds put together to create raw music with intricate concepts and pure lyricism, reminiscent of hip-hop's golden era. With both hailing from Central Florida, it was only a matter of time before they crossed paths in the southeastern Battle Circuit thus spawning Critical Madness.

Their Fat Beats distributed and TEMPERMENTAL produced debut single "1st Amendment" (ft Sabac Red of Non Phixion)/"Dropped" was sold worldwide and reached its peak at Number 2 on College radio and www.RapAttackLives.com in early 2006. They have shared the stage with the likes of The Beatnuts, Little Brother, dead prez, Memphis Bleek and others. Critical Madness has also interviewed and rocked mics on various radio shows and even DJ Eclipse's "Halftime 8 Year Anniversary Show" alongside legends and more. You can find them on numerous DVD's including Proof & Bizarre of D12's "Who Wanna Battle?" and "Underground Session" Vols. 1 &2. Their current release, "Finding The Plot" is a mix of 17 original tracks sure to keep the streets melting until their official debut "Bringing Out The Dead" is released to the masses. With many more collaborations (Joell Ortiz, Yah-Yah & Young Zee of the Outsidaz, Little Vic, Butta Verses, producer extraorinnaire The Mighty V.I.C., Marco Polo, Domingo, TzariZM, and more) and their debut on the horizon, there looks to be an even brighter future for these two unique individuals. This is only the beginning.
