What are some of your favourites? I'll start it off: A Tribe Called Quest - Steve Biko Linden Boulevard reprezent reprezent-zent A Tribe Called...
I know there are a few heads on here so give us your personal top 10 hip hop albums. @Xplosive and @George Crowcroft?
Tribe because their first three albums were masterpieces and got better with each one. De La's first two albums were amazing but Buhloone Mind...
Anyone who thinks the standards in boxing are as high as they've ever been needs to be forced to watch this fight and then retract that viewpoint.
I had that one even.
Put that coffee down!
Well, Pac's only a year younger than me and if my condition is any kind of barometer then Pac will be completely shot.
I feel another boxers as food items thread coming on...
I'd say Terry McGovern is a consideration.
Yep, you're right - I forgot that one. Opposition wise, Gregory is a better win though.
Other way round.
1. Spinks v Qawi 2. Qawi v Saad 1 3. Mustafa Muhammad v Johnson 4. Scott v Gregory 5. Galindez v Kates 1
If I was being objective, Rakim would have to be near or at the very top and so would G Rap. But this is my own personal top 5 so it's a bit...
Good point! This was early 90s - he was in a group called KMD with his brother Subroc (who died unfortunately) and they put out two albums. The...
I wouldn't even be sure that's the deciding factor.
@George Crowcroft - I see you like MF Doom. Have you heard his pre-Doom stuff, when he was known as Zev Love X?
Everyone loved Rakim. I still say Kane was greater, but that's my own bias.
Yeah, he had that gangster style and imagery that was a big influence on the next generation after him.
Call me old school, but Big Daddy Kane is still my no. 1.
Yeah, exactly - it was a great win but totally stands apart from everything else on his career. I think his loss to Yaqui is more instructive of...
I think no. 1 is clear; 2, 3 and 4 I might move about and actually have Qawi at 4, despite beating Saad. 1. Spinks 2. Saad 3. Galindez 4. Qawi...
Top 10 all-time material that one imo.
Ramos in a great fight. That Lopez defense is his undoing.
Bob wins [runs for cover]. No, Charles wins.
Interesting point. I'm still thinking on this one.
It'd still pick Arguello too but I can see Rosario hurting him, for sure.
Love this fight! Ramos was more talented, Ray was probably more consistent. Bloody fight and stoppage win for Mancini because Mando would get...
Yeah, I wouldn't have matched the pre-Pryor version of Arguello with Rosario for that reason. I think it's competitive in '83.
I had that one even after 10 and I'd assume Saldivar to take it over 15 too.
I had it closer than that - Marcel really moved away clearly in the championship rounds on my card, at least.
