Good call on Radical, louder. Feels like that one's always overlooked, but I loved that album back when.
PS, I keep wishing every year that those early tapes like Radical, Earl, Bastard, etc would get some kind of CD pressing.

What did you think of my little startup guide?
I was trying to focus on the essentials, and end with the absolute must-have solid gold studio LP's.
You'll notice that I, too, noted Radical as a high point for the group, and as an excellent starting point for the relative newb. High five?
Also, I was trying to avoid albums that all three of us had seemed to find unanimously disappointing in the long run. This is why I avoided Wolf... I know we all geeked out when it initially dropped, but it ended up not even making my top 10 hip hop albums that year.
I thought you and
louder felt the same way, but now I see our comrade recommending it OVER both Bastard AND Goblin. Wtf louder?

Yes, Mike G is a great rapper and needs to put out a goddamn proper album for fuck's sake! Still, Mike Check and Ali are both dope Mixtapes, even though I don't think he'd quite come into his own yet.
I also really like Domo's solo mixtape's, especially last year's Under the Influence 2. But I stand by the releases I recommended, as I believe they more or less cover the absolute best from most of the different factions and substrata of the OFWGKTA universe.
