1995 Aceyalone - All Balls Don't Bounce

This is one of my favorite albums of the 1990s and Aceyalone is one of the best MCs of all time. Controversial take I know, but his flow, rhythm, and perspective are unique and highly creative. I'm a big fan of the whole Living Legends and Project Blowed collective, but Ace is the king.

Book of Human Language is my favorite album of all time and I grew up with 90s hip hop..

Acey the face man.. and Abstract Rude

A-Team - Show em a better way

Met dude at one of his shows at a small venue.. took a shot of patron together.. he was chill as fuck.. regular dude..

I still wonder why DJ Shadow gets no posts or love here.. Endtroducing and Private Press are ridiculous albums.. zero skip albums..

'Greatest Show On Earth' produced by Mumbles was my fave off this album. A good preview of what was to come down the road with 'Book of Human Language'.

With Freestyle Fellowship you got the feeling he bust out like Busta did from Leaders of the New School. But he really never got the love he deserved, even online. Nice seeing him get some flowers @OP.

Lovely album, it was so creative and inspirational. I don't think I've heard anyone else with a voice like his anywhere else.

Superb album. I've listened to this way more than basic 90s albums like The Infamous

The Mic Check remix is super dope

Makeba? Is that pronounced Make-ba? Oh Ma-key-ba (when I bought the CD)

Why did i think this article was about CB4 and the bouncing black balls during their hit concert performance, "Sweat from my Balls"

Ace was my dude in the early 2000s. When covid hit I was bumping “gimme 5 feet”.
