Half of their song sucked, even on Niggaz4Life but it was the shit back then. It made all the other rappers look like a bunch of softcore newbies. Kindda like 2 Live Crew

Agreed. Express Yourself, Straight Outta Compton and Compton's in the House are my favorite tracks.

Slick Rick (his 1st one), Children's Story, Hey Young World. Geez

The Lost Boys (their 1st one). Okay, that may just be a Queens thing. I'm biased.

Big Daddy Kane - Smooth Operator (which ever album had Warm It Kane), was my favorite of his.

What was the name of the group that a member named Sticky Fingers (yes, I know he had the ebonics version of that word)??

And I know he doesn't have any classic ablums, but Jada Kiss is easily one of my favorite artists. Dude has some sick flows. SICK.

I think he's the best mix tape rhymer out there
