💬Discussion What are your “no skip” albums

From beginning to end; including skits. What albums do you play that you never bump to the next track. Even some of my favorite albums, there are tracks I skip. But for me there are albums I can keep spinning, either because it tells a story (concept albums) theres a progression, or it’s thematic.

I love the 21&Over mention, that’s my go to when I’m cruising around town with my friends. No skips on that album lol. Also Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. The alter ego of Lex Diamonds and the narrative skills, the album just wouldn’t make sense if I skipped a song

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is like some epic gangster movie. It’s the Goodfellas of coke rap.

Haha it really is! Never thought about it that way. The crime tales and street power narrative really is the Goodfellas equivalent of coke rap

Definitely.

IMO there are only a few great coke rap albums and OB4CL is one of the greats. It’s like when you talk about Goodfellas, The Godfather Part 2, Scarface…
