Hip Hop

On a sorta new thread - it's interesting to me to see so little mention of Lil Ugly Mane in recaps of the last decade. Not necessarily my favorite records in the world but I found what he did far more interesting than most of the stuff that typically got listed.

Mista Thug Isolation absolutely belongs in the discussion for top albums of the decade. It was way ahead of it's time, LUM is just constantly underrated.

big LUM fan also but would have to disagree that Mista Thug Isolation was way ahead of it's time but what he does he does very well and very authentic to the pioneers of that sound/scene.i would say oblivion access is more cutting edge as far as having a very unique sound.

As someone who wasn't terribly familiar with a whole lot of Memphis rap before I heard MTI but have listened to a lot since, yeah, he definitely wears his influences on his sleeve on that album. I feel like On Doing.. is the first time I heard him take those influences and match it with a sorta-DITC-influenced (or very East Coast style production) updated through the lens of Memphis rap that really took him to the next level.

Still love MTI but man, some of his early fans really turned me off from getting more into his music. Passed on a second pressing of MTI cause I thought $55 shipped was too spendy for it to Canada. Ah well..

The experimentation on that album is what was ahead of it's time. Nobody was really producing like that back then. Seems much more common now.

Side note: has anyone received confirmation for Statue of Limitations? I reached out but have yet to hear back.

I never got too deep into it but I'm definitely familiar. And I'm not saying he isn't deeply influenced by it, but I think he put his own spin on it. I just feel like he did things on that album I hadnt really heard before, that I here a lot now.

Yeah I got the email about it. It’s a legit charity, have no reason to think they wouldn’t give the money to it. Suppose that’s on the buyer 🤷🏻‍♂️
