# 8 - Camp Lo - Uptown Saturday Night

The author has witnessed drug snorting on stage and has heard the gay rumors. All of that aside, this is a hip-hop blaxploitation masterpiece. Ski of Original Flavor/early Rocafella fame produced most if not all of this LP. Every song has it's own personality that they bring to life from lavish (Luchini), to dark (Killin' Em Softly) to hard hitting (Krystal Karrington & Swing), and smooth (Coolie High & Sparklin). Much like Ghostface, their jibberish sounds indecipherable but they come across as fully understanding what they're rapping about. Diamond heists, adventures, women, and 70's black cinema references over all types of hitting production makes for a personal classic.
