Disadvantages: Only 13 Tracks

...Rap music some idiots might say it's been outdated by mosh bands and so forth but i disagree very strongly raps been going since the late eighties and is still smokin'. The reason I'm doing this op on doggystyle by none other than snoop dogg is that it was the best rap album no let me rephrase that it was the best album of 93. 93 I hear you say but it's 2001 thats eight years ago I say to well done on your a-level in maths. although it is eight years old classic albums stick in the mind especially if you love rap which I do.
