overview for Bearigator

Megan is just sort of eh to me normally but I love the production on this. Wish more artists would do rock/metal elements on their beats. Whoever produced this killed it.

[FRESH] Tierra Whack - Chanel Pit in c/hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz

I really like Tierra, she is always doing something different. The Pop/R&B/Rap trio of EPs she dropped were super fun.

On topic, the music box sample on this really shouldn't work, but I love it.

This is a busy day/week for me at work, so I'll have to keep this short.

This album is very much a product of the time, so before I start I'll mention some obvious stuff that doesn't hold up super well. The beats can be repetitive and the rhymes/flows, my modern standards, are terrible. If a modern rapper came out sounding like this, nobody would buy that album.

Now that that is out of the way, I love this album. When I first got in to rap (outside of weird underground stuff), this is the sort of stuff I listened to. I was in my "modern rappers just rap about bitches and money, old rapers rapped about real stuff" phase. While I outgrew that phase, it is nice to hear some blatantly political rap. I checked and this was the fifth best selling rap album of 1988, beaten by "Straight Outta Compton", "Eazy-Duz-It", "He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper" and "Life Is...Too $hort". Not bad to be behind NWA, Eazy-E, Will Smith (and DJ Jazzy Jeff) and Too $hort. I also fucking love the scratching on some of these beats. That old school sound of a DJ scratching records always gets me hype.

Favorite track is Bring the Noise and Show 'Em Whatcha Got. Bring The Noise is a classic and I just really like what they did with the saxophone sample on Show 'Em Whatcha Got.
