Blackalicious.
Second major album, 17 tracks. Yes the tracks have a lot of b and C's but number wise on Cogs it's 17.

Ah ok thanks guys. So it seems Blackalicious is pretty much nailed on then? Not familiar with the album admittedly so I'll take a copy and I will also play it on spotify tmrw 👌🏼👍🏻

And Blazing Arrow is really Blackalicious' 3rd album after Nia and Melodica. We're talking about Storf here so take it fwiw

Not that they are the authority of all music, but Dicogs has Melodica listed as an EP of Blackalicious and Blazing Arrow as their second LP. But they also show the J5 self titled album as an EP and and LP depending on the track listing. So yeah, who knows.

Not to get all gatekeepery at all here but as someone who listened to Solesides pretty much since they began, Melodica was always seen as their first album. Nobody differentiated between EP's and LP's back then.. not to this extent at least. I mean, it even got issued as a 2x12" so that's gotta count for something right?

True but Storf just looks at Cogs for clues like these and they don't have Melodica listed on the album page so I don't think semantics make much of a difference at this point. According to Cogs Blazing Arrows is the second LP. The clue doesn't have to be correct, it just has to be Storf correct...

I always considered Melodica as a single when it came out. The 2 * 12” was, like most doubles back then, for mixing. Most if the tracks on the second 12 were instrumentals so that you could easily mix with the same track.

Nia was definitely presented as an album, that just wasn’t loud enough for mixing with, too many tracks.

edit- didn’t realise, or forgot. But was originaly released as a single 12” in America with 7 tracks. The double that I had was the UK, MO wax release.

I would still see it as an ep though.

The A to G ep was more album like, in that it was all different songs over 2 12’s but was labelled as an ep and pressed loud.
 
Oh my days, so im just listening to Blazing Arrows for the first time and have just read the track list info.

Gil Scott-Heron, Chali 2NA, and Questlove!! Whaaaaaaat.

And this lyricism is incredible. God damn im all in for this pick, looks like the OG is pricey as well so its not one of those that could of been picked up for a couple of quid.

It really is an amazing album. Really hoping it's the pick for the reason you mentioned.

Same here. I'm amazed how quickly blackalicious convinced me that they needed to be in my collection
