Doomed to Repeat with Dialect
One of the best new lyricists this country has seen in a long while is Adelaide’s own Dialect, who in only a few years has dropped a couple of my favourite LP’s from these shores which clearly show that this kid understand his roots. Check his Doomed to Repeat selection of LP’s that have influenced him as an artist.
Picking 10 albums that have most influenced me musically was a real hard task but I gave it my best and this is a pretty accurate list. A list where each selection probably has another 5 or more different albums from a circle of affiliates or crew members you could imagine accompany them perfectly. However these albums below have had a more significant impact on my musical development with Hip Hop than any others and are records I think everyone should have in their crates… CD rack?…I-pod? Ok, UTorrent folder. Let’s hope for the first preference!
1. GANG STARR – ‘MOMENT OF TRUTH’
Everyone knows this record and rightfully so. I would have to say no other album has had a greater influence on me than this one. In my opinion this is Premier and Guru at their zenith accompanied by outstanding features, most notably the verses from Inspectah Deck, Scarface & Big Shug. I still listen to this album at least once or twice a week without fail. RIP GURU. My favourite lyricist of all time.
