Top 10 Rap Albums All Time?

[Amare320]

I could name many .. groups and single artist'sSpice 1 ? Spice 1, 187 He Wrote, AmeriKKKa's Nightmare & 1990-Sick are all very good albums there all pretty equal.Biggie Smalls, Life After Death, Ready 2 DieBrand Nubian's albumsPublic Enemy ?Eric B & RakimA Tribe Called QuestIce Cube ? he's had many very outstanding albums .. better than nas's follow ups.I could name more but I haven't really got the view of my music right now so..im not downing nas or calling him a one hit wonder, it's just that some other artist's out there were more consistin throught there career in making top albums.n I can't think off the top of my head were someones done 2 amazing albums but im sure there's some even though it may have not been recgonized hugely.btw I was just listing to H to the Omo by nas, god damn he's a amazing lyricaly.

[quote name='Amare320' post='290681' date='Feb 17 2007, 01:56 AM']Biggie Smalls, Life After Death, Ready 2 Die[/quote]Life After death wasn't on Ready To Die's level, and I prefer It Was Written to Life After death.

Public Enemy ?

I'll give you PE. Fear of a Black Planet and It Takes A Nation To Hold Us Back were both fantastic and about equal (although neither crack my top 10).

Eric B & Rakim

Nothing they did was as good as Paid In Full (which I never cared for in the first place).

A Tribe Called Quest

I'll give you ATCQ. Low End Theory and Midnight Marauder swere both damn good, although I feel Midnight Marauders is a top 10 album while Low End Theory barely cracks my top 20. Similar to how I feel about Illmatic and It Was Written.

Ice Cube ? he's had many very outstanding albums .. better than nas's follow ups.

There is not 1 Ice Cube album I'd even consider top 15. Basically what I'm saying is that most rappers and groups have only 1 truly great album. It is very rare for a rapper or rap group to have 2 albums in contention for top 20 all time. I feel nas has this with Illmatic and It was Written, and that is rare. maybe it's because he has made so many albums that makes him seem not very consistent, but he has had 5 good-very good albums, 2 of them being great (Illmatic, It was Written, God's Son, Stillmatic and The Lost Tapes).

what are you talking about, Ice Cube has come out with 4 great albums AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, Lethal Injection, The Predator & Death Certificateand it's not particularly nas that's overrated, it's Illmatic itself as iv'e said before.

However Nas is not overrated, but I certainly would not call him a better rapper than the ones we see today.

I really have always been a fan of Ludacris, (though some of you are going to say he is a snob and rhymes for pussy) but I think he is up there, and you can really argue this. But for sure, Nas is not the best ever.To add, his really great to really bad album ratio can also be noted. I mean Illmatic, Stillmatic, and Hip Hop is Dead, are great, but not many of you have heard God's Son, Street's Disciple, and I am, as much as you have raced about Illmatic have you?

I mean you could ask like 500 people about who they think is the best ever and they could all have different answers. I also like a few artists that some people may consider "whack" but I don't think their the best ever or even in the top 10, like I'll admit I don't like 50,llyod Banks, and others but there may be a few songs I like from them. I also like luda I like his song runaway love.
