Treble assembles its list of the Best Hip Hop Albums of the 90s with a Top 100 that selects 10 great albums from each classic year.

…Part of what makes the ’90s such a landmark era for hip-hop is just how many different scenes were being cultivated at once. The Five Boroughs further refined a long tradition of innovation in beatmaking, leading to a hardcore hip-hop renaissance. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, bulk orders of Zapp and Parliament records became sample staples of the G-funk era. There were dirty sounds coming out of the south, conscious raps out of Chicago, and several cartoonish villains seemingly leaping from comic book pages. In the ’90s, there was a lot to keep up with. In fact, the sheer number of great albums released meant that a lot of favorites ended up falling just short of the cut. So, you know, we know that they’re not there. No need to remind us… (via Treble)

For A Few Dollars More: Sergio Leone's Overlooked Masterpiece

An analysis of Sergio Leone's second movie in The Dollars Trilogy - For A Few Dollars More, looking at the behind the scenes of this Eastwood-starring sequel, how Leone and company upped their spaghetti western skills with this superior sequel, how Morricone's score uses diagetic music for a more emotional story, and what makes this somewhat overlooked sequel so special.
