Someone the other day was talking about the consistency of Styles P....always dropping dope mixtapes, albums and singles.....what other rappers have always shown consistency throughout their career....whether its on a mixtape, guest spot or what ever...these MCs should rarely drop some wack shit......

Redman - 6 Dope solo joints, Hot album with Meth, hot album with Def Squad....couple hot mixtapes and always kills the guest spot...one of the most consistent to do it.....

who else???

nas is very inconsistant in my books. illmatic, it was written and stillmatic were good albums, where as nastradamus... well was terrible. the contrast in quality of illmatic to nastradamus is too great to put him in any contention for most consistant

Rock - always delivers on guest spots

nas - yes for the most part he's consistent. In the viewpoint from mainstream and underground.

With the exception of 1 album his other ones have been 4/5 at least and mainstream wise, he always sold at least a million(around). HHID eventually will go platinum.

Styles P

A post I made in the 'Phantom Menace' thread

Probably the best mixtape of the year.

This guy is a walking god his consistency is frightening. I will be creating a Styles shrine in my garden.

I'm a Nas fan but he is not consistent.

What has his last 2 albums been?

Not even second listen worthy.

^^ SO your telling me that Nas' last album wasn't worth a second listen?

Personally HHID was 4/5 and streets Disciples was 4/5. I enjoyed both albums enough that I still haven't gotten tired of them.

Thought it was distinctly average actually

Most songs apart from about 2 had no replay value and wasn't Nas standard at all.

Infact that kind of effort is expected from a limited MC like Game.

I thought Hip Hop Is Dead was a 4/5 album. I listened to that album alot. In all honesty you cant say tracks like Money Over Bullshit, Blunt Ashes,Who Killed it?, Carry On Tradition, Let There Be Light have no replay value?

Outkast... consistently great.
Redman is a good choice.
Ludacris...five really good albums.
The Roots...they've been holding it down for awhile.
Jay-Z...lol Greeny.
Buckshot
Nas
Ghostface...not a fan of his latest stuff, but they were solid albums.
BUSTA RHYMES...this dude has always been above average or great.
Ice Cube...the fact that he's made good music at this point in his career is remarkable.
Scarface...see above.
Del The Funkee Homosapien...been holding it down underground for 15 years.
KRS-One

hell...and just because the guy has managed to stay at least somewhat relevant for as long as he has...

Illmatic = classic
It Was Written = classic
I AM = good well rounded album
Nastradamus = wack
Stillmatic = classic
Lost Tapes = brilliant
God's Son = good album
Streets Deciple = good album (slept on) the first disc is quality
Hip-Hop Is Dead = decent album

Reasonable Doubt = classic
Vol.1 ... In My Lifetime = a near classic
Vol.2 ... Hard Knock Life = good album when i first heard it, now i only listen to atleast 4 tracks off of it
Vol.3 ... Life And Times Of S. Carter = wack
Dynasty: Roc La Familia = decent album ... the Intro is one of my favorite Jay tracks
Blueprint = classic
BP2 = wack ... some great songs on it but you have to sift through too many shite songs to get the the quality tracks (which is really bad for a 2 disc album)
Black Album = great album
Kingdom Come = decent album ... started off strong but ended up shite

Very nice Mr.Green. It just seems as if jay has a more powerful buzz. Like he does more with his career than any other rapper. Not to knock Nas but I am was the last joint i liked from him...Oh oh oh and lost tapes. After i am I just got into Diff kind of rap and havnt really had too much exposure to his other stuff to be totally honest

Lol though Indi wasn't as good lyrically, I still loved it. The beats were bangers and definitely car riding music. To me it's the equivilant of a Jeezy Album cept with way better lyrics and a bit worse beats(Some were better but depends).
I Luv It > Lay It Down.
I Owe You > I Luv It

2pac...Pretty much every album he dropped while living was classic, and with the exception of Loyal 2 The Game and Pac's Life, his posthumous shit is good too.

Joe Budden...hot album and consistently drops good mixtape shit

Yukmouth...always on top of his game.
