Speaking of late 90s Bad Boy Records, I actually really liked the Forever album when it came out and thought it was pretty underrated. That said, I haven’t listened to it in probably 10-15 years so have no idea if it holds up.

 

Yeah there’s good stuff on there. Almost all Bad Boy releases have good stuff on them.

 

Yeah, Forever has some bangers

 

I actually dove into Diddy's albums recently for the first time, and while they're all pretty fun with some standouts, No Way Out is pretty great the whole time

 

Bad Boy 4 Life.

 

This is ridiculously good

 

Is that Craig Mack record any good? “Flava in ya Ear” is obviously a classic but is there anything to it other than more Easy Mo Bee?

 

Flava is definitely the best highlight.

 

Damn, just saw the news about Black Rob. Listened to "24 Hours to Live" several time when going through DMX cuts a few wks ago. Absolutely fucked that they're both gone now (no disrespect to the very-much-still-alive Mase)

 

Yeah. She doesn't miss.

 

It's fun enough

 

Looks like we’ve got new Cannibal Ox on the way!

 

I honestly don't think I ever listened to Press Play, but yeah, No Way Out is pretty much a classic, in my opinion. As stated earlier, I think Forever was wildly underrated when it came out and The Saga Continues, although pretty much a straight-up compilation album, has some really good cuts on it as well. Black Rob was all over Saga, and those are some of the best songs on the album (especially the Intro).

 

Just did a quick run through of Forever and The Saga Continues and still really dig these cuts:

Forever
What You Want
Satisfy You (sans R. Kelly)
Is This The End Part 2
I Hear Voices
Angels with Dirty Faces (likely my favorite on the album)
Pain
Reverse
Journey Through the Life

Saga
Intro
Bad Boy for Life
That's Crazy
Let's Get It
Roll With Me
Child of the Ghetto
Lonely
The Last Song

A lot of filler on both albums.

 

I wasn't a big fan of Press Play but it probably has some decent tracks. I haven't listened to Last Train In Paris in forever, but I think there was good stuff on there too. That single with Biggie at least was cool.

 

Bad Boy For Life is so good

 

There's a lot of great overlooked stuff on the Junior M.A.F.I.A. albums too

 

I dunno about Florida during a pandemic, butttttt...... damn

 

Honestly can’t think of anything worse haha

 

Let’s go

 

I wouldn't go but that Rolling Loud bill is crazy.

 

I'd go if it wasn't Florida

 

I'm way too old for that scene regardless of where it's located

 

Just stand toward the middle back with everyone else over 30 haha

 

oh I do, trust me. if it were local to me, I'd go, but traveling for something like that (especially to Miami, especially now) is out of the question
