I gotta go with this one, cause its the soundtrack of my formative years I guess. And the one that let me deeper into HipHop.

Only a shame that the recording isn't so good, but how could elektra not want to release one of the dopest hip hop records ever?

[Delay]

w/ out batting an eye...

i mean, i'm an east coast dude, but this shit here was just light years ahead of everything and still is.

i also gotta say that i saw this tour when i was in high school, Beatnuts, Common Sense, Organized Konfusion and Artifacts w/ the xmen doing routines between each group. That was the apex of rap music for me so I'll give:

Street Level
Resurrection
Extinction Agenda
and Rock and a Hard Place

... runner up positions. can't forget illmatic and 36 chambers
