Trap drums only (hence there werent more songs from Dave East or Boldy, both of whom rapped over some great boom bap production this year). What were some of your favorites?

Like the title says, I’m looking for the most gangster albums of all time, whether it be old school Gangsta Rap, East Coast’s Mafioso Rap, Trap, Drill, etc.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Introduction

Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim wearing the same outfit during their album photoshoots.

Hard Core and Ill Na Na are the debut albums by Brooklyn Rappers Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown. The former was released through Atlantic Records on November 12, 1996 while the latter was released a week afterwards through Def Jam Recordings on November 19, 1996. The two rappers started working on their solo careers shortly after gaining some success and popularity, with Kim being a member of Hip-Hop group Junior M.A.F.I.A. and Foxy having a number of notable features on popular R&B/Hip-Hop songs before even having a record deal. While these records were released on different dates, I wanted to talk about both projects under this one post as there are similar topics that I wanted to touch on for both albums.

Ghostwriters(?)

Biggie Smalls and Jay-Z would be named as ghostwriters in the beginning of Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown's careers.

Since the release of both records, the albums has been questioned as to how much Kim and Foxy actually wrote on them (or if they wrote anything at all in the beginning of their careers) and instead used ghostwriters, more specifically Kim's mentor and lover Biggie Smalls for Hard Core and Foxy's mentor Jay-Z for Ill Na Na.

The accusations for Kim's album would only grow after some of the audio files that have managed to leak on the internet of Biggie rapping one of the songs off of Hard Core. Jacob York, one of the executive producers of the record, would later defend Kim, stating the following:

>Kim had a problem with delivery at times. Like, she would put too many words in certain things. So what [Biggie] would do is he would take the lyrics and re-rap 'em for her... Like [on the song] Queen B, she was rapping that, but she wasn't- kinda not doing it right - [Biggie] would go "Nah, lemme show you how to do it".

Foxy admittedly didn't write all of her music, as there are some songs on Ill Na Na where she's not credited as a writer, with Jay-Z being credited instead on multiple tracks where he's not featured. Foxy would later address this on a track from her "Broken Silence" album titled 730:

>Yeah I write my shit
>
>It's not a fu

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
