The Greatest Hip-Hop Album EVER Made

[NTC]

GTFO if you think otherwise.

 

[GMJ]

I'm certainly not out, then. Although I will say that its the best put-together album. Each track compliments the one before it and after it. It's more than just the casual "yeah its one of those albums that I can listen to in one sitting!" comments. If the track listing was any different it wouldn't have the same impact.</p>

Oh and all the songs are amazing</p>

But is it the best Hip Hop album ever made? or is it The Listening?</p>

 

[ZAE]

I hope you are joking CB.</p>

I just listened to Little Brother's new album "Getback" it is pretty good too but not as good as The Listening.</p>

You HAVE to tell me how you got it </p>

</p>

 

[B.e.]

NTC your just exagerating right? Graduation>The Listening</p>

Curtis sucks as well.</p>

</p>

 

[pegs]

Curtis? Graduation? Little Brother???</p>

I don't know how you guys could think anything of these would be better than Illmatic. Anyone who really knows hip hop would agree....Illmatic is either the best or 2nd best hip hop album ever made.</p>

Paid In Full might be better...but still, none of these albums should even compare to Illmatic or Paid in Full.</p>

</p>

 

[GMJ]

I can never rate the best that concretely; there are just some that are on levels above the rest. The Listening, Illmatic, Reflection, Blackstar, The Love Movement, Sonogram....and then on the next level I would have albums like 36 Chambers, The Cold Vein, Resurrection</p>

LMFAOLittleBrother+TheListeningsmashes11shadesofshitoutofKanyeWest+TheGraduation.Kanye wishes he was on the same level as Phonte and Big Pooh, even as a producer, 9th Wonder shits all over him.</p>

 

[LakerBlood]

Curtis is a really good album, you won't be disappointed.</p>

 

[JCB]

If you've never listened to this album, do so, immediately.</p>

 

[MosDefinitely]

Cant really say which is the BEST hip-hop album of all time but my favorites are Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic, Black on Both Sides, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx and Liquid Swords.

I downloaded Curtis, did not like it at all.</p>

 

[LakerBlood]

I believe the BEST hip-hop album would be albums of Eazy-E's.</p>

Eazy had some classics, especially with NWA but none that I would consider one of the greatest albums.</p>

Me + You = BFF</p>

I love 3030 and Things You Can do. Great album, I'm glad I bought it.</p>

</p>

 

[Chutney]

Gotta admit that I haven't heard of half the albums mentioned in here. It's all good though, because it gives me a list of stuff to d/l soon.

As for my pick for greatest album, it'd be either Paid in Full or It Takes a Nation of Million to Hold Us Back.</p>

 

[Kid Chocolate]

Paid in Full is another of my favs.</p>

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)</p>

</p>

Also my sleeper choice:</p>

</p>

And remember, musical taste is about preference, respect others' opinions.</p>

I may not like a lot of that stuff, or think it's good, but it might float your boat and tickle your Tuesday, so if you respect my taste, I will respect yours.</p>

Back then gangster rap was hip hop, so Eazy-E certainly deserves to be talked about in that light. That being said I'm not the biggest fan of him, but I consider him hip hop, sure.</p>

Also back then talking about 'slanging rocks, bustin caps, and pimpin hoe's' was actually how life was. Whereas by today's standards its pretty superficial, mainly because its baseless. Positivity isn't necessarily hip hop (although I enjoy listening to it), but being genuine is. Plus the production was out of this world.</p>

</p>

 

[Shard]

Me Against The World is probably my favorite, I know JBB at least had a hatred towards Tupac but for me it doesn't get any better.</p>

lol, GangstaRapwasneverHip-Hop, Gangsta Rap is completley different from Hip-Hop. You want to talk about Hip-Hop back then, then look towards Grandmaster Flash, A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy,GangStarr, Eric B & Rakim etc. etc.Eazy-E's nameshouldNEVERbementioned in a "greatest" topic. Dont get me wrong, I like Eazy, and NWA was the shit, but1.thedudedidntwritehisownlyricsand2.hewasacrappyrapperanyway.Hisstylewassoplainandbasic,heofferednothingasanMCotherthansomefunnypunchlineshereandthere.Dudewasinspirational,alotofWestCoastcatslookeduptohim,butapartfromthat,heisworthyofnothing.Dude, please, life wasnt about slanging rocks, bustin caps and pimpin hoes back then anymore than it is now. Ok, Nas was talking about what hes seen, what hes gone through, but by track 3, its alreadybecomea stale and boring subject. There were more guys back then speaking on real ish' than there is now even. I'm not saying Hip-Hop has to all be about making the world a better place or whatever, but what it is about, is trying new things, speaking on variousdifferent subjects. Fact is, Nas didnt do that on Illmatic.</p>
