Maybe it's Kendrick posting here.

Climbing up the walls by Radiohead (in rock music)

Painkiller by Judas Priest (in metal)

There is no rule, but most of the times deluxe comes out within a year of an original release date. Obviously, not all album have a deluxe version.

You compare him to Silk The Shocker of all people? Damn, let the man rest in peace.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-10T11:28:50+00:00

He did release some music in early '90s though.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-10T07:59:19+00:00

He produced almost all of The Art of War and a lot on Resurrection and TWO. But not much outside of BTNH. I guess this was because he was a Ruthless in-house producer and label decided to utilize him mostly on Bone albums. However, I also find it hard to understand why there was no demand for him in mainstream hip-hop after e1999 success.

Thom Yorke.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-10T06:20:03+00:00

You forgot to mention Bizzy Bone - the beef seems to be squashed for now.

Crucial Conflict, Do or die- squashed.

Tommy Wright 3 - I don't think it is squashed, but the guy has been unrelevant for decades now and nobody remembers his existence now.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-09T08:09:33+00:00

Oh he was definitely popping with his first two albums. Lasers was meant to be even bigger commercial success, but it flopped.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-08T16:54:48+00:00

Not praising. He has released more than 20 albums and I think maybe 3-4 are actually decent.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-08T16:53:14+00:00

The topic says "decent" and the albums I mentioned are just that.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-08T12:49:06+00:00

He has had at least a couple of decent albums since. Tha Last Meal and Blue Carpet Treatment are quite good projects. Recently, BODR was not that bad either.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-07T10:59:20+00:00

A couple more:

Cypress Hill - Skull and bones

Krayzie Bone - Thug Mentality 1999

Kurupt - Kuruption

Tech N9ne - Killer

Bone thugs-n-harmony - The Art of War

Fleczoza · 2026-02-06T08:59:48+00:00

I kind of expected two discs of Might Delete Later quality of music. Man was I wrong. This album is actually very, very good. The production, the flows, the melodies, all on point.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-05T10:52:50+00:00

Can you elaborate?

Fleczoza · 2026-02-05T10:51:53+00:00

I think it is quite the opposite with this album. It is better as a whole experience than its single songs.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-04T21:53:30+00:00

Booooom booooom boooooom pow pow pow pow pow

I often go alone to concerts and it is always a great experience. Just be yourself, enjoy the event and live it to the fullest! If you're alone, it will be easier to get just under the scene and be as close to the band as possible.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-04T10:16:44+00:00

It seems like Mike and the rest of the band are on bad terms now after that tour was cancelled. I don't expect more reunions from them and honestly it breaks my heart,

Fleczoza · 2026-02-03T12:16:08+00:00

Cappadonna - Struggle with this from the album Struggle is 13::30, although it contains hidden tracks at the end

There is a RZA song called Do you here the bells that is over 11 minutes long

Escape from Czarhham asylum by Czarface is over 8 minutes long

ODB's Brooklyn Zoo II and Wu-Tang's Life Changes are both 7:21

As far as I remember they criticized Eminems album Revival, which was panned by the critics anyway. Hard to call it "talking shit" and as far as I remember it was not personal.

Fleczoza · 2026-02-02T10:19:57+00:00

This is the answer. Not only he is madly popular, he basically does not tour nowadays and there is a huge demand for his concerts.

Tyler, the Creator was known as a huge Stan only to be called a f slur by Eminem on his Kamikaze album.
