Re: YOUR Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums of All-Time

Masta Ace's "A Long Hot Summer" is a great album... very slept-on. Nice to see some Goodie Mob and Cee-Lo love from trob too.

Soul Food and Still Standing are REAL good albums. "Black Ice"...love that track on Still Standing.

1. "The Minstrel Show" - Little Brother
2. "The Main Ingredient" - Pete Rock & CL Smooth
3. "Foundation" - Brand Nubian
4. "Ressurrection" - Common
5. "Getback" - Little Brother
6. "Dream Merchant Vol. 2" - 9th Wonder
7. "Grey Hairs" - Reks
8. "Life After Death" - Notorious B.I.G.

Easy 10 to pick for me.

My man. Not sure about Dream Merchant 2 though, but I have ZERO problems with the rest of your list. I wrestled with which PR & CL Smooth to put up there whether Mecca or Main. I flip-flop weekly on which I think is better.

I was thinking about ODBs 1st, but I haven't listened to it in awhile and could only remember Brooklyn Zoo, Shimmy Shimmy Ya, and this one bomb track w/ RZA.

Chronic 2001 was a dope album too. Actually..***nning through tracks on iTunes right now, and I'd replace the original Chronic w/ this one. Man...I remember me and my Marine Corps boys wildn out to Chronic 2001...dayum can't believe I left that off this list.

Talib Kweli & Mos Def - Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star
Foreign Exchange - Connected

Aside from Philadelphia Freeway and Waiting to Exhale (cuz I've never heard them) I love all those albums. For T.I. though, I'd take Trap Muzik over any of his releases. I still think that's his best work.

Re: YOUR Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums of All-Time

Trob, when I say listen to Waiting to Exhale, I mean LISTEN to it man because that CD is fire and one of the most underrated albums of 2007.
