What’s your hip hop album of the year for 1999?

[illed_Out]

Use to play Murda Muzik all the way thru without skipping songs…

“The sunset look beautiful over the projects
What a shame,
it ain’t the same where we stand at
If you look close
You can see the bricks chipped off
Sometimes niggas miss when they lick off
Don’t get clipped off…”

~Prodigy~

 

[Don Dada]

My top 3 personal verse from Prodigy comes from there

Yo the P rock forty inch cables, drinkin white label
My chain hang down to my dick, my piece bang glass tables
Diamonds and guns before the fame Duke
A nigga like me hold tecs, are you the same too?
Goin through the emotions, of gun holdin
Long shotguns down my pants leg limpin
Killer bee who still livin, even my pops too
He taught me how to shoot when I was seven (yup)
I used to bust shots crazy
I couldn't even look because the loud sound used to scare me (POW!)
I love my pops for that, I love my nigga D-Black
I'll take the life of anybody tryin to change what's left
And through all of that a nigga ain't scared of death
All y'all brand new niggaz just scared to death
I spent too many night sniffin coke, gettin right
wastin my life, now I'm tryin to make things right
Grand open some gates, invest, in Iraq business
Do things for the kids (the little Dunns)
Build a jungle gym behind the crib, so they can enjoy youth
CBR's and VCR's
ATV's and big screen TV's, nigga please
Don't make me have to risk my freedom
We worked our whole life for this, you get your shit beat in
For real.. (yo)

Kurupt

 

[Mr BFK]

mofos forget that Ja Rule album was swangin hard in '99

and I thought "I Am" by Nas was a '98 album..........Nostradamus was def '99

I also thought Vol. 3 by Jay-Z was a 2000 album

 

[5 Grand]

I am And Nastradamus were both 99

The Firm was 97

Belly was 98



In fact the I Am mp3 bootleg is crazy.

It has tracks from I Am, Nastradamus, also songs from Lost Tapes. It would have been a banger, but it leaked on mp3. They had to go back in the studio and rerecord a new album because the original version leaked on the internet.
