1 Gud Cide - Look What the Streets Made (1995)


A should-be classic of underground Forth Worth, TX g-funk. Smooth, laid-back beats and flows to match. Some really poignant, emotionally compelling stuff. The cover famously includes a picture of one half of the duo, Twisted Black, after he was shot in the face -- as you can tell from the "(NOT)" underneath the "R.I.P. Black", he survived -- taking the then-newly-formed group temporarily out of commission and arguably robbing them of their place in hip-hop history.
