I’ve wanted to own this for a long time. One of the most underrated rap albums ever

[max @dubmaxx]

Got one of my favorite Bay Area rap albums ever, finally on wax for the first time

[max @dubmaxx]

Got this book from Japan with hundreds of rap cassette tape covers from the 90s. Some good stuff

[max @dubmaxx]

Came up nice in Atlanta, shout out Criminal Records

[max @dubmaxx]

@BennysAsianEra_ Yeah they had a couple different sounds. Was different than last time I saw them. Some faster rockier stuff too

[max @dubmaxx]

saw Standing on the Corner last night. Styles P opened and commanded the room. Lazy K spun Max B. Then the band performed all new shit and a Chuck Berry cover. Dope show

[max @dubmaxx]

@smallpro Wow I totally forgot, definitely think about that as fully Preemo

[max @dubmaxx]

Relistened to Livin Proof recently and it is in fact Premier’s best work

[Rob Pursey @robpursey]

if you could only have the beats of ONE top to bottom Premier produced album which would it be?

my vote: Daily Operation

[max @dubmaxx]

And much love to people like @sameflannel and @billdifferen who genuinely love music and constantly talk about it.

these tweets brought to by how much i enjoyed the breadth of this list https://t.co/0AJvvSzrW1

Critics really are more important than ever right now.

There are only so many hours in the day and with the overabundance of music being released now, people who take the time to listen to a wide range of music and recommend stuff can help guide people to do the same

Shout out to @Al_Peeair @CineMasai_ @andrejgee @timmhotep @noz @Passionweiss @joncaramanica @amandapetrusich @finalfantasikh @finals_blog @misterminsoo and the countless other people putting in the work to listen to music and share what they feel about it thoughtfully

The more I listen to this album the better it gets

[max @dubmaxx]

Only thing I’m listening to today

[max @dubmaxx]

also RZA opening the show with his Impossible verse over the Sunlight beat >>>>

[max @dubmaxx]

I’m still thinking about the Wu show at MSG a month ago and how seeing the whole group live really makes it clear how much they were influenced by Cold Crush, Treacherous Three, etc

[max @dubmaxx]

Listening to Follow The Leader and just realized Pimp probably flipped Rakim’s lines from “The R” on “Don’t Say Shit”

[DJ Burn One @djburnone]

I heard the black tee remix on the radio, looked up the record label Never Again in the phone book & called at 3pm on a weekday. Gucci Mane answered and told me to come immediately. he took me straight to Zay’s house and played me So Icy. we dropped Chicken Talk a year later. ♨️

Top 5 rap single of the 2000s. What an incredible piece of music
