For whatever reason have never really āgotā this one as much as I have most of the rest of the early hip-hop Canon. This will be a nice excuse to give it another go this week.

Iāve never heard 3 feet high so this will be interesting.
Eye Know is one of my favourite songs, reminds me of getting ready for school.

I used to work for a TV station called TV3 and the would start and end every day with that 3 is the magic number song. I hate that song so much. It makes me stabby.
Thatās all
This, once a day in a job that almost destroyed me
first 10 of the series for me I think.
not even the skits can ruin it.
considered putting āpotholes in my lawnā as top song, but wimped out and chose āeye knowā

Gone for Joni to buck the maleness (and because I like her)

Thatās an interesting choice for Joni Mitchell album - I donāt know her work that well but as a casual listener I would have assumed Blue or Hejira were the two obvious ones. Is this a personal favourite or is it better known than I realise? Not heard it myself so Iāve voted for it.

Think youāll really rate Hissing OctoB! Itās in equal parts both jazz-y and poppy with some top tier lyrics from Joni. A really wonderful record indeed.

Pretty cool how these threads are always about the next thread.
Classic album, love everything about it. Me, Myself & I is probably the best tune but as itās slightly overplayed I went for Buddy, which I love with all my heart.
Sorry for de-railing, Iām keeping my comments for this album until Iāve given it a full spin today!

3 Feet High And Rising is absolutely fantastic. First impressions, when it came out was it was like a Zappa album, and that is still my overriding feeling about it. With this it took Hip Hop somewhere genuinely new. It still sounds fresh, love the skits. It is a little patchy so for me itās a 9, but that is no criticism. A Classic album, if not an absolute stone cold Classic.

Easy 10. Absolutely love it. Such a joy front to back.
Splashed out for the reissue so have been spinning my vinyl a few times recently.
