6 days ago | albumism.com | Jesse Ducker

[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 15th Anniversary to The Roots’ ninth studio album How I Got Over, originally released June 22, 2010. Putting together an album about abstract concepts is always a difficult feat to achieve. As I’ve written before, a lot of hip-hop concerns the details, dealing with everyday experiences and how they affect the rapper or crew’s lives.

“Stand, you’ve been sitting much too long / There’s a permanent crease in your right and wrong” – “Stand!” (1969) This one hit hard. The news of Sly Stone’s passing on June 9th was a gut punch. The cynic in me was surprised that he lasted as long as he did. The music lover in me knows just because his physical body no longer roams the earth with us, his legacy is everlasting.

[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 10th Anniversary to CZARFACE’s second studio album Every Hero Needs A Villain, originally released June 16, 2015. I’m pretty much a tailor-made fan of the group CZARFACE. I’m a consummate Wu-Tang Clan head, and have long believed that Jason “Inspektah Deck” Hunter is one of the most talented emcees breathing.

[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 30th Anniversary to The Verve’s second studio album A Northern Soul, originally released June 20, 1995. "Each song is a northern soul going through different emotions. I hear this character all the way through the record; pretty pained, then elated, then arrogant. All facets of that personality are a northern soul.

[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 30th Anniversary to Alanis Morissette’s third studio album Jagged Little Pill, originally released June 13, 1995. I didn’t grow up in a traditional family. My parents divorced when I was just five and through that, I became acutely aware of just how the world treated and continues to treat women.

[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 35th Anniversary to Mariah Carey’s eponymous debut album Mariah Carey, originally released June 12, 1990. In the churn of early 1990s pop, where production gloss was often mistaken for substance and vocal acrobatics risked becoming caricature, Mariah Carey—Mariah Carey’s eponymous debut album released in June 1990—arrived as a paradox.
