I guess I'll go with the Traffic album... since I'm not really well-acquainted with the other two bands' material...

Vanilla Fudge 1
Its a Beautiful Day 1
Traffic 3

Anybody else want to take over the running of this? Kind of getting a bit sick of it now.

Unknown Soldier · 07-26-2011, 04:57 PM

ok

Ok everyone Unknown Soldier is running this thread now, so if you want to PM nominations for battles send them to him. Kthxbye

Unknown Soldier · 07-26-2011, 07:52 PM

Ok Traffic won the last war and as Zero has said I`ll be running the thread now

The rules are exactly the same, so just PM me two or three albums for a head to head. They can come from any music genre that will interest members who visit the "general music" section. Obscure albums are good, but bear in mind that better known albums will get more votes (unless of course people take the time to listen to the albums they don`t know)

The battles will last 3 to 4 days depending on how popular each line-up is before being changed. Anybody that posts me their albums, will be treated on a first come first serve basis with any following album choices joining a queue if there is one. If nobody submits any albums then I`ll put some up. So send me you submissions.

Next battle up is courtesy of Il Duce that two-bit dictator and its the hip-hop old school grand finale. Also when placing your vote, take a few words or sentences to say why you chose the album.

De La Soul 3 Feet High and Rising

A Tribe Called Quest The Low End Theory

Public Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

De La Soul

the start of flower-power rap, and the skits are funny, but does sound a bit dated

ATCQ

rhyme and flow is excellent, the samples (mostly jazzy) are great as well

PE

agressive social consciousness, but i think the production ain't nothing to write home about

so

De La Soul - 0
A Tribe Called Quest - 1
Public Enemy - 0

De La Soul are fun andall but tbh they don't seem all thast important to me, sounds really dated compared to the other two.
A Tribe Called Quest are fantastic and that is there best album but I have to give it to Public Enemy, that was one of my first Rap albums! It never gets old

De La Soul-0
ATCQ-1
Public Enemy-1

Ooo I've been meaning to pick up these albums for forever! Will be downloading immediately!

I know as much about hip hop as a martian from the planet of Zog would, so I decided to listen to 3 recommended tracks of each album to get an overall feel. De La Soul- Not what I was expecting despite knowing 1 of the songs from the radio and they didn`t do anything for me. A Tribe Called Quest- A lot better and more of what I was expecting and actually liked them. Public Enemy- Have to say this was what I was expecting to hear and they delivered.

De La Soul 0
A Tribe Called Quest 1
Public Enemy 2
