Greatest hip-hop/rap album of all-time?

[GahLee]

Lupe is pretty good...

Gahlee, check out this video, it is nice...

YouTube - Styles P, Papoose, & Lupe Fiasco The Cipher

That was awesome...they all killed it IMO...Lupe reminds me of Nas, most people can't even comprehend what he is saying.

 

[GahLee]

Just some of my favs.

Nas-Illmatic/Stillmatic
Dungeon Family-Even in Darkness
Beanie Sigel-The Truth
DMX-It's Dark and Hell is Hot
2Pac-All Eyez on Me
Kanye West-College Dropout
OutKast-Auqemini

 

[Mini Me]

I disagree with #1, but can't really argue about the other 10. Rakim is very underrated and forgottoen about.

Also, Tash and J-Ro from The Alkaholiks are vastly underrated MCs...

Tash is very underrated. So are Pharoahe Monch, B Real, Buckshot, Common (probably because he is doing more acting than hip hop), and Kurupt.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Can Run DMC's Raising Hell not even get a mention up in here?

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Outkast - ATLiens

All and anything from Outkast
Goodie Mob - Still Standing

People still sleep on AZ, same for Common to a certain degree.

Would like to throw out Common's album Be as well.

Even "Idlewild"?

I like it, it's different. Probably wouldn't like it so much if I hadn't seen the movie. The 2 go hand in hand.

It's a shade of what they were though.

Some little punk kid named Beeber or some such crap is on Leno trying to be a hip hopper and sucks severely. I hope you people are proud of what you've done to American music.

People freaked out about Elvis and The Beatles when they came around too. Nothing stays the same. BTW this doesn't mean that I don't condone Beiber, hes an assclown.

Good album for sure.

Yeah, and rock is full of nothing but great, non-commercialized bands who DON'T constantly sing about cheating girlfriends.

Hey, Simple Plan is a band that deals with real emotions too complex for most...wait a minute.

Your right man, 95% of the entire music industry is a farce.

Yezzir, it's full of Lil Waynes, Justin Biebers, Avril Lavigne's and other artists who bastardize their respective genres.

THANK GOD FOR THE UNDERGROUND!

Here you go chicks and dudes: Atmosphere - God's Bathroom Floor

Good stuff...

YouTube - Lupe Fiasco feat. Nikki Jean - Hip-Hop Saved My Life (feat. Nikki Jean) (video)

I can't get enough of this guy...superb.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

I love Lupe... especially when he takes dope tracks from bad emcees (Sittin Sidewayz... Still Tippin') and dubs over them.

Also, Lupe the Killer might be one of my favorite jams.

Good songs.

Illmatic and The Infamous are the two most overhyped and overrated rap albums of all time. They are decent albums, but not great...
