Greatest Rap Album

[I Used To Grow]

We have the greatest rock album thread, now for the greatest Rap album.

Here's a few of my favorites:

NWA-Straight Outta Compton
Dr.Dre-The Chronic, The Chronic 2001
Eminem-The Slim Shady LP
Snoop Dogg-Doggystyle
OutKast-All of their albums are great!

I know there are many more from some great rappers, but I just don't know the names of their albums.

There's prolly KRS One, Public Enemy, The Fugees, Grandmaster Flash and some others.

Yes IMHO Public Enemy's "Yo! Bum Rush The Show" is groundbreaking.....it is not
nearly appreciated enough as a work of art....

I believe the Wu Tang Clan "Enter the 36 Chambers" would have to be on the list
as well.....RIP ODB aka Dirt Dogg aka Big Baby Jesus.....

The Pharcyde's "Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde" is also a complete work of artistry....

Yea I'll go with GP on that one

And anything by the Beastie Boys. Saw them in concert last year 'n they rock so much live

 

[tragic1]

Right on Truecannabliss. Immortal is one of my favorites.

It's kinda hard for me to list which album is the best but the one that had the most impact on me would be Public Enemy-It takes a nation of millions to hold us back.

Just some albums I love.
Eric B & Rakim - Paid in full
Nas - Illmatic
Dr. Dre - The Chronic

 

[Dr. D]

Easy E-easy does it
NWA-straight outta compton
Nas-illmatic
Dr Dre- chronic and chronic 2001
i nearly forgot this one; Bex Bissell and the Inner City Crew-Scruffy mofo's

 

[Guest]

Deltron Zero- 3030
Wu-tang Clan- 36 Chambers
Public Enemy- Fear of a black planet

And ofcourse DrD loves DrD

 

[Alex-F]

Damn I forgot the Deltron Album Gotta say that I like pretty much all of Dan the Automator's stuff whatever name it's under but with Del & Kid Koala it's just a winning kombo

Wiggers

The Coup - Steal This Album or Genocide & Juice Great smart lyrics with funky beats. When it comes to engineering albums, no one has shit on Boots from the coup.

I'm willing to admit that when provoked I smoke to cope
But if I didn't take a toke, I'd be leadin' a street revolt
So I make a mental note, and to my frustration
I decide I can't do shit about the situation
Put the spliff to my lips, flick the bic and it's on hit..
Coulda been my last blunt... but I can't quit
Cause then I have to deal with, some motherf**kin' real shit

Honorable mentions

Public Enemy - It takes a nation of millions to hold us back & Yo bumrush the show or Fear of a Black Planet.. Oh yea PE made great stuff! Boiiiiiiiii!

Eazy-E & NWA - Tha worlds most dangerous group! Definetly in mofukkin' effect nahmsayin'

Mac Dre - Young Black Brother Rest in peace!

ICP - The Great Milenko yea yea u can boo me for this one, but i love this CD. Better then eminem

 

[Guest]

Not one of you has given biggy props .. ready to die is classs album
So is souls of mischeif 93 til infinity now thats the shit !!!!

Also It was written by Nas not as ruff as ill matic but the rhymes were smoother and the beats were slick !!!

 

[Guest]

^ Puffy ruined Biggie for me..
Granted that ready to die is good.. But not that good.
Everytime u hear puffy on the backround with his 'Yea.. A-ha.. yea!'

Dono about u, but he makes me wanna puke blood.

Oh well.. The good die young. the pricks live for ever

 

[tragic1]

Ready to Die is a classic, but there is no question Puffy ruined Biggie.

Not to be rude bad ticket but comparing ICP to Eminem? C'mon
They look like a bunch of asses and lyrically they couldn't hold Em's nuts.

Let me add a couple more.

Slick Rick - The great adventures of
Run Dmc - King of Rock

U can be rude man. I didnt write their music.. Nor am i a pro critic.
Eminem might be better lyrically yea, but i cant stand him either or what he is about. He just can't take a joke.
Not to mention he starts a lot of fights, but doesn't finish em..
Take a look at his beefs..
He was dissing on a lot of rappers (Ev from Dilated peeps, ICP, Everlast, Esham & NATAS to name a few) but when they started firing back, Em started to diss ppl he felt were more on his level, like Timberlake, Britney and Aguilera. Proly for that main stream popularity to sell more records to his focus group. 14 year old wigger kids who live wid their moms and sell peanuts as crack at the local youghurt bar or sumtin..

All the fake stuff.. Rolling around with a gun thats not loaded.. Well..
He is just soft. Granted that ICP are a bit goofy, but so what..
So am i

Atleast their gimmick is better then Eminems

 

[Guest]

Yeah we all know puff is a twat but without his work with big we would have never got to hear him !!

Also you gotta say I got a story to tell is one of the all time best rap records by big....

Also the roots every album is great in my eyes.... What about pharcyde as well

 

[blewrp]

King Gordy - The Entity - def one of my favorites... this guy is way underrated imo hes got the most crazy vocal ever!
