Welcome to the new and improved Essential Album of the Week discussion thread!

This Week: Kingpin Skinny Pimp - King of da Playaz Ball

Stream/Purchase

Spotify

Background/Description (courtesy of rateyourmusic.com)

DJ Paul and Juicy J contribute some moody beats that once again excel in the atmosphere department, although they're not as consistent as they could've been. Despite that, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more eerie sounding gangsta album. The production on "Long Story" in particular is some of the group's very best, and most grandiose of the 90's.

Kingpin Skinny Pimp has an often sinister presence like the other Three 6 Mafia members, but at the same time he sometimes shows a more sincere side lacking from his counterparts, like in the song I mentioned above. He also has one of the best flows of the group, and it's a shame he wasn't around longer than he was, because the man could spit. You only need to listen to "Don't Test Me" for proof of that. Songs such as "Let's Start a Riot" and "Midnight Hoes" give off the sense that the entire album is trying to tell a self-contained story, one scene at a time, and in that case, Kingpin knew his fate from the start and was just trying to live life to the fullest on streets made to destroy him. He engages in self-destructive behavior and constantly looks down on those he deems inferior. He's a product of his environment, and because of what he's seen and experienced, has no hope for a bright future.

If "Da Devil's Playground" was a trip through hell, this is a trip through the roughest streets known (or unknown) to man, and both albums compliment each other well in that regard.

Guidelines

This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism. This is your chance to practice being a critic. It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!!

How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't.

DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE!!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged.

Next week's EAOTW will be Master P - Ice Cream Man

(I've already marked this thread as NSFW, so you've been warn before you click on the tweets and browse her profile)

hey you obnoxious douche lord, dont fucking use my pictures. cash app is $hedera

can you guys tweet lil b calling him out for using MY FUCKING PICTURES to pretend he's hot shit. I DID NOT CONSENT TO THIS.

timeline of yesterday: - lil b DM'd me on here asking for pics. - lil b messaged me on manyvids. - i reminded him that he unfollowed me months ago because i kept tweeting an article about how he's a PREDATOR. - i blocked him. - he stole my pictures and posted them w/o credit or $

i'm not just a stock model he found with nice feet, he did this BECAUSE i said no. he is a predator. stop buying into his bullshit.

sorry if my tweets about this are annoying but what's more annoying is waking up and seeing lil b stealing ur pics against ur consent and acting like ur a fan when in reality u hate him bc of his predatory behavior towards children 😪

can u imagine being lil b and stealing sex workers' pictures bc they won't consensually give them to you like the underage girls do? sad!
