"These Are My Confessions"
There's something I've been dying to get off my chest, (and no it's not the "S" on my chest).
I call it my confessions because it's an issue a Hip Hop purist like me would dare not admit. It's almost like a taboo to admit that I slept on some of the dopest albums in the Rap circuit. These albums are so raw that they poked me till they woke me up like a spring mattress. You know you slept too, so don't front like your doo-doo don't stank! Well, I'm wide awake now, so "clearheadedly" I present to you

My Top 5 Previously Slept-on Albums:
- The Pretty Toney Album (Ghostface Killah) - Innovative. Sonically inducive, and entertaining. Skip the flurry of canarl skits. Favorites: Metal Lungies, Be This Way
- Rip The Jacker (Canibus) - Rap's New Testament in Lyricism and Storytelling. Enigmatic. Favorites: Genabis, Poet Laureate II
- Starchild (O.C.) - Feel-Good music at its climax. Exceptionally smooth. Favorites: Evaridae(ft Pharoahe Monch), The Professional
- A Long Hot Summer (Masta Ace) - One of the most entertaining concept albums ever. Favorites: Beautiful, Show Me Some Love
