YaYa's albums that influenced him as an artist pt.one
Some people claim that they are 100% original... I mean, that may be depending on how far along they are as an artist to find they're own niche, and stay with it. BUT... when getting started as an artist, whether you're a painter, singer, author, rapper, dancer....you initially start off being inspired by others work that came before you... example: "a young dancer of today">Chris Brown>Michael Jackson>James Brown>Jackie Wilson....and so on... they all made a name for themselves, but at one point borrowed from someone else to jumpstart they're own thing... now, since i got that out of the way, I will show six albums that did SOMETHING special to me...some how, from the first listen...it was something special, that either made me think differently, or spark my own thoughts and creations, but these albums are very close to me.... starting with #6
The Score, was the first rap album I ever bought, 1996, I was 10... I haven't been the same since....Brilliant verses, perfect production, and LAURYN HILL...nuff said #5
The Slim Shady LP...(sigh) Forget that he's white, or always high on something...especially when making this album....this level of lyricism took my mind to another level...this album also showed how one can create an album tailor made to their lifestyle classic... #4
Mos Def and Talib Kweli are...Blackstar...what can i say... from the day i heard this album, to the moment i started making this blog, they have been in my top list of MC's....I often argue who had the better verse on this song or that song....thats how great this album is...with beats from hi-tek, and J-rawls...this album is forever one of my fav's #3
The Big Picture...An old friend let me borrow this on a friday, I gave it back to him Monday, bought it on Tuesday and had every verse memorized by the next week I promise...Rest his soul, Big L....GOT LYRICS???? one of the best ever, no one ever recognized his story telling abilities.....Casulties of a dice game and the Heist are two of the best rap stories of all time....This album Really TURNED ME OUT to want to do this R.I.P. #2
Life After Death....Can you say Movie of the Ear...thats exactly what this was....Puff new where to go with this albums direction, because everytime i heard it, it was like watching an epic four hour movie thats two VHS videos long, that never loses excitment. Big was so ahead of his time lyrically that I don't think any verse now-a-days is even touching his wackest one from off this album... by the way produciton wise...Masterpeice.... R.I.P. #1 Last But not least!!!
Be...this is my favorite album of ALL TIME...please quote me...the answer will never change... The best work of his career. One of the few genius works that were put out in the new century... There is not one weak line on this whole album...NOT ONE.... the Kanye's produciton and his off the wall lyrics meshing together like that, this album made me jump up and down, tear up, yell, throw something, and reflect...All the things a PERFECT album should make you do...this is my favorite album ever... Everyone of these albums shaped me and my style today...Hope you liked the list.. PeAEce
