this is best album, so cd's that have 2 or 3 really good songs but the rest of it blows are not counted. here are some of mine:
Wu Tang - Enter the 36 Chambers; Forever
Dr. Dre - 2001
Nas - Illmatic, It was written, Stillmatic
Eminem - Slim Shady LP; Marshall Mathers LP
Gza - Liquid Swords
Gangstarr - Moment of Truth
Outkast - Aquemini; ATliens
Biggie Smalls - Ready to Die; Life After Death
2 Pac - All Eyez On Me
Non Phixion - The Future is Now
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
pretty good list, a newer one that I dont ever hear people talk about that deserves so much more respect:
swollen members: black magic
Dude either ATLiens, Southernplayalistickcaddilacmusic, or Aquemini should be there.
gabe: gabe
ATliens is consistently good but idk about the others. not to say that the other two aren't good, but i dont think that they are consistently good enough for me to say that they are the best. outkast puts out a lot of shitty songs .Quote:

I don't even know how many times I have heard this album now, but it has be nearing 100 times+.
Rap isn't even my favorite genre of music, but this is near the top of my favorite albums from any artist/band.
that list you posted is very very good, but there i think aquemini should be there
Biggie -Ready to Die, Life After Death | Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album | Outcast - Aquemini, ATLiens | Tsuchie & Nujabes & Fat Jon (Samurai Champloo Music Record, Instrumentals Only) These guys have some of the sickest beats I've ever heard, :example: | Snoop Dogg - R & G | 2Pac - Thug Love Vol. 1
What's the diff between Hip Hop & Rap?
i pretty much mean the same thing, but basically i wanted to discourage anyone from saying the fucking bird man or some main stream dick weed like that.
Jay-Z and Linkin Park - Collision Course
</thread>
Everything I was thinking of when I opened this thread has been mentioned already.
Atmosphere - Lucy Ford EP
Eminem - Infinite
Idk will. Pretty much all every song on the first 3 outkast CD's are chronic. And it's hard to argue that any of the CD's are that much better than the others.
good list. and thank you for leaving (hopefully intentionally) any Jay Z off the list.
also i think Dr. Dre.: original Chronic > 2001
WTF? Public Enemy anyone?
Id have to disagree with the jayz bit, and agree with the dre bit.Quote:

And I think kanye deserves a slot whether you like him or not. Im not sure which album I think is the best, but they all have such nice flow and are never choppy.
oh and come on guys; THE SCORE, nuff said.
anything from tupac also like the doggfather
Your list is very good, but I would add Raekwon - Only Built For Cuban Linx, Nas - It Was Written, Masta Ace - Long Hot Summer, Non-Phixion - The Future is Now, and Jedi Mind Tricks - Legacy of Blood
thats a good call.Quote:

Top Ten (in order)
1. Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full
2. Nas - Illmatic
3. Dr. Dre - The Chronic
4. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
5. Slick Rick - The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick

7. Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
8. N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton
9. Boogie Down Productions - Criminal Minded
10. A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
I havent listened to rap in years (like 15), so my list might be a little oldschool for some of you.
Here goes:
Cocktales : Too Short
All Eyes On Me : Tupac
Gettin It : Too Short
Eternal E : Easy E
Straight Outta Compton : NWA
Amerikkka's Most Wanted : Ice Cube
Til Death Do Us Part : Geto Boys
World Is Yours : Mr. Scarface
As soon as i click submit i'm gonna think of about 15 more, i know it.
just to add:
Rakim - The Master
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
Ordinary Peoples (both albumns)
Mos Def - Black on Both Sides
Eric Sermon - The Green Eyed Bandit
Cypress Hill - Unreleased & Revamped
I can't really think of a top 10 but considering we are talking olderish/classicish and not present time i would say cd's by:
Notorious BIG
Bone Thugs N Harmony
Twista
2pac
Big L
Outkast
Shyne
Anything detroit/michigan (herk , dayton family , madewest , any street lords , etc etc)
Weak list , and im prob. missing a lot of my other favs.
Present time
Any mixtape by Crooked I and Ransom.
Crooked I is from cali and killing it on mixtapes. I can't think of another rapper right now touching him besides...
Ransom from Jersey who is sicccckkkkkk.
I can't believe some of you have lists that don't inclue Nas. You can't have a rap/hip hop thread with mentioning Nas.
I for got 1...
ICE T OG
please post more!!!!!!!Quote:

xzibit - at the speed of life
definitely a nice list.
common hasnt been mentioned yet, he has some well put together albums. And ludacris has some albums that flow really well.
I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in: it goes
1: The Roots-Phrenology
2: Nas-Illmatic
3: Notorious B.I.G.-Ready To Die
4: Jay-Z-Reasonable Doubt
5: Outkast: Aquemini
6: Dr. Dre-Chronic 2001
7: Wu-Tang-Forever
8:Gangstarr-Moment of Truth
9: Eminem- Infinite
10: Styles P- Gangster and a Gentleman
I am going to give some of these a listen, I have never been into Hip Hop at all, my only experience really listening to a whole hip hop album and enjoying it has been P.O.S. - Audition and Ipecac Neat
They are good. I really like Slingblade, Glen Close and Solar Powered.Quote:

Midget: good list and I love the Roots but Phrenology as number 1 is pretty agressive
I guess I am more old school...
Public Enemy-Fear of a Black Planet (my fav PE)
Digital Underground- Sex Packets (Freaks of the Industry people!)
Black Sheep- A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Dr Dre- The Chronic (+1)
We did this, right?

I'd re-post my list but, yanno, fuckit.
couple not mentioned, lupe fiasco is one of the best, and hugely underrated
and chamillionaire is surprisingly good compared to the rest of the dogshit that has come out latly
yeah but this thread is like 4 months before max's. he wanted to copy me so he figured he would wait a while so everyone forgot about it so he could seem original.Quote:
