Im going by artists that debuted 1996 or earlier and dropped in the past 3 years (2006)
I think these albums were heat that a vet dropped...no comparing to earlier work....they obviously all have classics in the 90's:
GZA - Pro Tools
Jay-Z - American Gangster
Ice Cube - Laugh Now Cry Later
Ice Cube - Raw Footage
Nas - Untitled
UGK - Underground Kingz
Snoop Dogg - The Blue Carpet Treatment
Ghostface - Fishscale
Q-Tip - The Renassiance
Raekwon - OB4Cl2
Boarderlined:
8 Diagrams
4:21
The Roots - Rising Down
is one that comes to mind.
^^^^^^
yes, the roots!
no mos def ....after The New danger and True Magic dropped I decided not to check for that faggot anymore but apparently The Ecstatic is big so I might need to step back.
Yeah it was pretty solid, check it out.
Doom counts doesn't he?
I thought Common's album 'Universal Mind Control' was decent, but maybe not good enough to include.
Kool Keith's album Dr. Doom 2 wasn't bad either.
Not sure if many people would consider these solid, just throwing them out there.
M.O.P. - The Foundation
Raekwon - OB4CL2
Wu-Tang Clan - 8 Diagrams (personal favorite)
Show & AG - Live Hard EP
Q-Tip - The Renaissance
Redman - Red Gonee Wild
O.C. - Starchild
Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang
NaS - Hip-Hop is Dead
KRS-One - Survival Skills (w/ Buckshot)
to name a few
blue carpet treatment was criminally overlooked ... glad you mentioned it pro
The Ecastatic was really good
and Doom definitely counts considering his KMD days

IDK, I felt I had to make some kind of parameters in this thread that distinguishes a vet and a somewhat recent release. Im not gonna get all "you cheated in the thread rules"....just no chuck jones shit and resort to talking about the REAL classics.
Its been a while since I played the Snoop album....I almost forgot about it. I am going to play it through later.
^^^^^^

For the future of upcoming releases I hope the following doesnt disappoint:
Ghostface (again) - Wizard of Poetry (never heard anything yet)
Rakim - The Seventh Seal
Dre - Detox (of course)
Mack 10 & Warren G's albums (I liked both of their last 2 in '05)
Another Roots album....How I Got Over

masta ace (with emc) - the show
Ice Cube - Laugh Now Cry Later and Raw Footage
Prodigy- H.N.I.C. 2, Return Of The Mac, Product Of The 80's
Ghostface- Fishscale, TBDR
Evidence- The Weatherman LP i think DP been around that long
Bone Thugs - Strength & Loyalty
Redman - Red Gone Wild: Thee Album
Three 6 Mafia - Most Known Unknowns and Last 2 Walk
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II
Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang

Can't agree with Laugh Now or Raw Footage.
Boot Camp Clik - Last Stand
Sean Price - Jesus Price Superstar.

I'm not the one in the studio recording these wack songs. A lot of good rap veterans are still good lyricists but they don't make good choices with their beat selections. You can't tell me that the albums that they're releasing now sound as good as the albums they did in the 80's and 90's. The rap albums they did in the 80's and 90's had more good songs than bad songs. It's the total opposite now. There's more bad songs than good songs on their albums. I can't name one good rapper from back in the day that's still doing music now that is still making good albums. Not one. Ice Cube, Rakim, LL Cool J, Keith Murray, EPMD, KRS One, Redman, Wu Tang, Onyx, Too Short, Spice 1, MC Eiht, Ice T, Brand Nubian, Naughty By Nature, Pharoahe Monch, QTip, Boot Camp Click, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Run DMC. I know ya'll disagree with me but it's my opinion and you don't have to like my opinion. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and people shouldn't get banned from a website because of what they say that other people may not like.
I think some of it has to do with the current music trends though. Like back in the 90's, hardcore hip hop was real popular. Nowaday's, not so much. So a bunch of the hardcore hip hop veterans might feel like they have to change some or all of their style, or add some soft/club type songs to their albums to cater to today's clueless zombie dwellas, that they would have never done years back. Or even if the veterans are against putting soft music out, they feel pressured by the record labels to do so. That's just how things are, styles and flavors come and go. Like in the 90's, you had fade haircuts, which were styling. Nowadays you have weirdos wearing flat brimmed caps, which make them look like they stepped right out of Ringling Brothers circus.
Your right.
You got banned from making threads because you made too many threads in a short period of time, not your opinion.
This thread isn't about the 90's. When this thread was in it's prime it was a good thread with lots of agreement and little disagreement of what albums rep vets released recently that were actually good. Of course we know that there are bad ones but the ones mostly discussed in this thread were good.
Adding your name to the title was a joke because you are notorious of posting in those threads about veteran new releases and hating on every single one of them, even when it is a good release.
Oh yeah CJ, what is your opinion on OB4CL2? If you think that sucked too then I curse for an ignorant black man (or woman) around where you live slaps you. :D
Well i shouldn't be banned for posting as many topics as i want. TSA and other people post as many as they want and i don't see them getting banned for awhile. I haven't heard Raekwon's album yet but when i do, i'll give you my opinion about it. I wouldn't be surprised either if the album sucks when i do listen to it because he hasn't made a good album since his first one.
Common - Finding Forever
Common hasn't made a good album since Resurrection. Fuck them other soft albums he put out.
TSA posts multiple threads a day but in different forums and a wide range of original subjects....the odd time a thread might be Norwayed though. Yours were within like an hour, were repetitive and made spammishly, you pissed some people off and they complained and I didnt like it either.
Nevertheless if you're still on I can lift your ban a few hours early if you want to make a thread.
A & E - Arts & Entertainment (Edo G & MAsta 'Ace)
Jeru the Damaja - Still Rising
Mad underrated.
