Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

My top Rap Group Albums:

1.NWA-Straight Outta Compton-Even without their influence, they had it ALL. Beats, Tight Videos, Lyrics.
2. Bone Thugs N Harmony-Greatest Hits(does this count)
3. Outkast-ATLiens(Best Outkast album imo)
4.UGK-Dirty Money(Probably the most underrated UGK album)
5. Outkast-Aquemeni
6. Three 6 Mafia-Chapter 2. World Domination
7. Three 6 Mafia-Da Unbreakables(Last GREAT Three 6 we heard again)
8. Mobb Deep-The Infamous
9. Wu Tang Clan-Wu Tang Forever
10. Geto Boys-We Can't Be Stopped

I'm so behind on my music game.

*shakes head*

It's sickening.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Look at it this way. Now you got time to catch up since there isn't really anything else dropping the rest of the year.

Unless you wanna count Detox, which we all know will get pushed up eventually....AGAIN.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Okay...what about best hip-hop duo/group albums?

This one is harder for me because I'm less inclined to include Black Star and Madvillain on a "best hip hop duo/group" list because they've only done one album each.

Either way, OutKast is at the top of my list. Wu-Tang is great, I love the debut, but since a lot of the solo stuff outshines the group (for me) I can't really count them higher than OutKast when Boi and Dre brought it straight through 4-5 albums.

I'm not a big NWA fan either. I understand their influence with the production and West Coast ****, but Eazy-E just sounds like a whiny bitch to me.

Again, no particular order, except for Outkast.

ATLiens
Aquemini
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Cell Therapy
E. 1999 Eternal
Paid in Full
Follow the Leader
Ridin' Dirty
Bow Down
We Can't Be Stopped

Yeah, no major artists are dropping except Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem, and Kanye West.

Same ****, different toilet from 50 and Kanye.

50 will start beefin with somebody a month before his CD comes out(Most likely Kanye)will drop one single and say it wasn't supposed to come out and then his album will disappoint. And that's coming from a 50 fan.

Kanye's CD will full of songs which he used the auto-tuner for, so this probably just might be another T-Pain album the way it's sounding like it's supposed to be.

Speaking of Eminem, I forgot to mention that Royce will probably drop his studio joint fresh off the Bar Exam series, AND Joe Budden is set to drop as well in the 4th quarter.

Man, that's ALOT of music (hopefully it all drops) that I am looking forward to!!!

1. King Mathers (Just to see what he does, the guest spots, etc.)
2. 808's and Heartbreak ( I HATE the autotuner, but LOVE ye that much that I am still anticipating his joint like crazy)
3. Street Hop/ The Revival (Royce has been on another level with his lyricism and is on top of his game).
4. Padded Room (I have been waiting for "The Growth" since his self-titled debut 6 years ago, lol)
5. Detox (As of right now, I'm over the hype of Detox)
6. Blueprint 3 (To me, Jay-Z hasn't really dropped an entire album that's been really great since The Black album... American Gangster was good though. Thing is, Jay-Z always has that potential/ talent to drop a banger).
7. Before I Self Destruct (I think this one is going to be much darker than some of his previous albums and it has me intrigued).

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Dre, Slim Shady, Big Boi, Dre 3 Stacks, and Luda. ALL I'm waiting for this year or beginning of next year.

I'm a HUGE Jeezy fan, but Paper Trail is on another level for me.

Really? i think Paper Trail is a nice album, but on another level from Recession? i don't think so. I find myself playing Recession more than P.T. on my ride, but i guess it's just because of different taste. Don't get me wrong, P.T. is a hell of a album but, i just think Recession has more bangers, i guess i need to spend more time listening to P.T. and try to see what you see.
