    Mr. Hood LP (1991)

    Elektra

Criminally underrated and slept on classic. Somehow KMD got lost in the shuffle and they didn't enjoy the same commercial sucess as their peers De La Soul and a Tribe Called Quest. However this album is a landmark in hip hop production. Every beat on here is bananas. The production is raw, full of crisp SP1200 programming and obscure jazz samples. Also includes a series of cleverly constructed skits. A hip hop masterpiece.
