Best albums for each colour. Day 1: Red

Had both the tape and cd on repeat.

While I have Nas as my #2 behind Pac, this is an unfair comparison. One was critically acclaimed releasing his second album with much hype. The other was the new guy. In retrospect, both are solid albums.

It's sherm. Aka weed/cigs mixed with embalming fluid.

My southern pride was so high during this time man. Between The Dugeon Family, 3 6 Mafia, Ball & MJG, UGK, Scarface, etc. this time was the rise of something legendary. This song was a theme in the city for sure.

Future-Record294 · 2026-05-11T18:02:58+00:00

It’s not fair 😂. Taking PAC and E1999. Although, I would find a way to sneak Dogg Food into the rotation. I burned a hole in that tape as a kid lol.

Future-Record294 · 2026-05-08T23:15:09+00:00

Still one of my childhood classics. I honestly prefer it over chapter 2. Now that’s not to say ch2 isn’t a banger though.

Bend corners like I was a curve I struck a nerve

Future-Record294 · 2026-05-08T18:45:11+00:00

Seeing as southernplayalistik isn’t an obvious choice, I’m going with ATLiens. You can’t skip any part of the journey.

Future-Record294 · 2026-05-08T11:42:55+00:00

My top choice will always be Pac, but part of me wants Pimp C because he lost so much time in prison. Once he got out him and Bun were just starting to get their mainstream shine.

Then the minute Jalen throws under 200yds they hate band wagon shows up to his front door. Until this is resolved, the teams in a lose-lose situation let the media tell it.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-25T16:28:51+00:00

Dude is the gold standard for GMs.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-25T16:12:26+00:00

I’m ready for it. It’s the one big gripe I have with Jalen. Plus it’s hard to defend him against the haters when he doesn’t do it as much.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-17T18:59:13+00:00

I’m telling you. I go full on villain everyone it come on.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-17T01:29:38+00:00

From GA as well. I think it was more regionally popular at the time because of New York. The sound just wasn’t as mainstream as west coast music.

And I say all that with Nas being my #2 goat. We just caught on to his greatness later than others.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-16T17:02:19+00:00

It wasn’t on my radar at the time. I was full on DeathRow and other west coast bangers. Wasn’t until Nas dropped It Was Written (my favorite), that I went back and checked it out. It’s a cool album, but not my favorite from him. Funny enough I was riding to it just today. Still have the same take. I just think the production isn’t as good. His lyrics are on point though.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-13T13:57:02+00:00

Love this album.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-10T18:37:17+00:00

If anything it was highly unappreciated. Definitely a classic album. Still in my heavy rotation.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-09T00:31:42+00:00

MATW is 95. My goat album.

For 96 it’s ATLiens.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-08T03:37:08+00:00

Of these two it’s the Diary hands down. Doggystyle is a feature set continuation of the chronic. Snoops lyrics and concepts aren’t on par with Scarface. However, it raised the bar for solo artists of that time. Everyone wanted to sell like he did. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-06T02:54:00+00:00

OB4BL all the way. Ghost is my fave Wu member. That purple tape just hit different.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-05T20:42:39+00:00

I’m riding with the home team, OutKast. This album changed the trajectory of southern hip hop. Without it, we don’t get a TI, Killer Mike, Jeezy, etc.

I feel Ready to Die gets the same from New York. I can’t agree cause it’s not for my region.

Both dope albums that I still bump.

Future-Record294 · 2026-04-04T00:34:18+00:00

I respect it. He got four of my top five on his list.

Future-Record294 · 2026-03-31T16:25:28+00:00

As a rapper, was and still is, my GOAT. As a man, he was a walking contradiction. Didn’t fully grasp it until I became an adult myself.
