262. Arrested Development

Nowadays, the Pop Culture reference to “Arrested Development” refers to the acclaimed Jason Bateman TV series.  A decade ago, that reference was to the Atlanta based Hip Hop group that seemed poised to be the next big thing.  Arrested Development did not reach the heights that was prognosticated for them, but their debut album remains one of the best ever in Alternative Rap history.  That album won awards, gained accolades and made them stars.  They never did follow up with anything else of note, but that album was strong enough for them to gain a look from the Hall, (though De La Soul will likely get any nod for Alternative Rap).
