Tech N9ne - Anghellic (2001)

Tech N9ne, like Twista or Do Or Die, is listened to all over the Midwest. Like, even the white trash crackers who don't like/are scared of black people listen to 'em. Anyway, this was his first real album, which I first was put onto by some KC folks.

Nas - Stillmatic Limited Edition (2001)

One of the handful of albums that got a 5 Mic rating from The Source, Stillmatic was highly anticipated and was his 'comeback' joint. Fuck, I remember the tracks one-by-one leaking on Audiogalaxy and SOHH, and the Hot97 Jay-Z VS Nas vote. Anyway, great album, although a tad overrated.

Street Platoon-The Steel Storm (2001)

Sort of a Psycho Realm side project, this was the first official project to come out after Big Duke's shooting. Looking back, I kind of wonder how in the hell we even tracked this record down, because our access to the internet was somewhat limited and this shit wasn't exactly at most music stores. Somebody must have had Napster or Audiogalaxy (remember that shit?)

2. Dead Lines
3. Mean Streets
4. Drug Lab
5. Sick Of It All
6. Pink
7. Great Downfall

11. Traffic

2. Selma
3. Body Count
4. Trains and Cops
5. Mouseteeth
6. A Hundred Dollars
