Wave Twisters, Episode 7 Million: Sonic Wars Within the Protons(more) »rank: 17133by: DJ Q-Bert
:Album Description:DJQBert's Wave Twisters (Classic Cassette Tape) - The classic that spawned the movie. ' As you may know by now, this album is a concept album.

I wanted to have a variety of songs offering new and different things from skratch styles, to ways of composing, to ideas that people can make something new out of. At the same time, keeping its story line' - Qbert :As the godfather of modern-day turntablism, Qbert has been long overdue for a solo release. Wave Twisters is the obvious brainchild ... |

No Limit Top Dogg(more) »rank: 40446by: Snoop Dogg
: :Snoop's second album for the No Limit label finds him in fine form--maybe the finest since Doggystyle. On Top Dogg, Snoop has taken control of his own album; in working with a number of producers (Dr. Dre, Ant Banks, Raphael Saadiq, DJ Quick, and the Beats by the Pound team), he takes the best each has to offer and forces them to play to his own strengths. Though there are a few gangsta tracks on Top Dogg ('My Heat Goes Boom,' with its 'boom boom boom' chorus, is one of the album's best), the strongest songs here are the ones on which Snoop ... |

Me Against the World(more) »rank: 12551by: 2Pac
: essential recording:The gruesome details surrounding Tupac's third solo offering are enough to give any music fan the willies. Released when Tupac was in jail serving time for a rape conviction and just after his recovery from being shot-up gangland-style at a recording studio, this was his most introspective piece of work to date.

'So Many Tears,' 'Death Around the Corner,' and 'If I Die 2Nite' are all dark, eerily prophetic tunes that lend credence to widespread theories which ... |
