View Full Version : Most consistant rappers....
Tom.B 10-16-2007, 12:47 PM 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???
Pope Diddy 10-16-2007, 12:51 PM yup, Redman is a definite ...

grandmaster b 10-16-2007, 01:02 PM yes redman is definitely dope
gza - doesnt drop albums as often as i would like, but it at least shows that he put lots of thought into all of his songs. definitley worth the wait
kool g rap - gotta be holdin it down for a good 20 years now.
ghostface - popping out hot album after hot album
the roots crew of course
Tom.B 10-16-2007, 01:08 PM ^^GZA for sure....
..the whole BCC is up there.......
..the Beatnuts....
..Nas...of course.....
grandmaster b 10-16-2007, 01:15 PM 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

Wreck1 10-16-2007, 06:34 PM can we name rappers who are consistantly bad?
Mista Dobalina 10-16-2007, 06:59 PM ^What would be the point of that
Estate Captain 10-16-2007, 07:41 PM 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.

Estate Captain 10-16-2007, 07:48 PM I'm a Nas fan but he is not consistent.
What has his last 2 albums been?
Not even second listen worthy.
Seamo 10-16-2007, 07:54 PM ^^ SO your telling me that Nas' last album wasn't worth a second listen?
Alan Johnson 10-16-2007, 07:54 PM 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.
Spade One 10-16-2007, 07:57 PM 50 Cent
Estate Captain 10-16-2007, 07:58 PM ^^ SO your telling me that Nas' last album wasn't worth a second listen?
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?
Alan Johnson 10-16-2007, 08:20 PM Thought it was distinctly average actually

Games albums have huge replay value, what are you talking about... lol
Estate Captain 10-16-2007, 08:25 PM Not that lol
I think he is a limited MC which is true can only talk about Chuck taylors and Chrome 64's every other song.
cmclassic 10-16-2007, 08:32 PM andre 3000/outkast in general
nobody mentions scarface (as many five mic albums as any listed including ghetto boys, oh but he is from the south so he dont count, lol)
ghost

outcast

Alan Johnson 10-16-2007, 08:52 PM Not that lol

Nas has A LOT of versatility and variety... His album was nothing like games with the namedropping or constant repetitiveness of subject matter...
but w/e

Again
I wasn't referring to Nas
Nas is quite versatile could jump on alot of different tracks
Pope Diddy 10-16-2007, 09:14 PM Games albums have replay value for about a week

Estate Captain 10-16-2007, 09:17 PM It is a travesty I got mis quoted!!
I said a different thing from I thought. Shoot me
Florida Breeze 10-16-2007, 09:23 PM Common
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...
Too Short
P90zN5'7nz 10-16-2007, 10:00 PM *laughs ahead of time if anybody mentions Jay-Z*
J is far more consistant than Nas.
Pope Diddy 10-16-2007, 10:07 PM 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
Alan Johnson 10-16-2007, 10:12 PM It is a travesty I got mis quoted!!
I said a different thing from I thought. Shoot me
Lol, i'm just saying...
Tru Reazon 10-16-2007, 10:24 PM I would prolly have to say Ludacris, at least on da single n album seen cuz he don't do mixtapes.
Also,
Eminem
Nas
Jada
Tommy Bunz 10-16-2007, 10:37 PM Games albums have replay value for about a week
I actually thought Doctor's Advocate had a lot of replay value. One of the best West Coast drops in recent memory
Pope Diddy 10-16-2007, 10:42 PM I would prolly have to say Ludacris, at least on da single n album seen cuz he don't do mixtapes.

Jada ? he's consistent with good verses but albums ?

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
X-NINE 10-16-2007, 11:29 PM Jada ? he's consistent with good verses but albums ?
Thats what I was about to say, lol......
Alan Johnson 10-17-2007, 12:42 AM 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.

Gods Son was full of classic material... that album easily top 4.
Draquo 10-17-2007, 02:08 AM DIC to Indy? very inconsistent. But Rock city was class
Indi was not good compared to his other material, but still good.
Plug Zero 10-17-2007, 03:47 AM 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.
Nas averages one good album every 10 years.
Senci 10-17-2007, 06:01 AM pAc close this thread. Everything he touched is gold.
Alan Johnson 10-17-2007, 02:12 PM Indi was not good compared to his other material, but still good.
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
so it's a tossup
~Barz~ 10-17-2007, 02:20 PM 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.
Big L...Crazy freestyles and 2 good albums.
Joe Budden...hot album and consistently drops good mixtape shit
Yukmouth...always on top of his game.
P90zN5'7nz 10-17-2007, 02:23 PM yukmouth!>!>!>!>!>!>!>?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Alan Johnson 10-17-2007, 05:16 PM ^ Yes.. Yukmouth is a pretty consistant rapper. From Luniz to Regime to his solo shit.
P90zN5'7nz 10-18-2007, 12:05 AM Gods Son was full of classic material... that album easily top 4.
where can it be downloaded ? i wanna twist an L to it.
Deldar182 10-18-2007, 07:28 AM kast...

i dont see the big prob with nastradamus =/
Also, While jay had some kickass albums, I couldn't bear to listen to the "vol" albums more than once. awfullllll
P90zN5'7nz 10-18-2007, 07:37 AM I agree with the vol albums not being up to par with the rest of jays LP's, but I would take ANY of hov's albums over nastradamus. lol the album cover alone...
most of what`s been mentoined has been on point... maybe guru & murs also ... how come no one`s mentioned b.i.g when he was alive he was always consistent??
propro 10-18-2007, 06:55 PM Vol 3 is worse than nastradamus.
Infact nastradamus actually has a lot of good songs, just a couple of whack ones.
P90zN5'7nz 10-20-2007, 03:34 PM only track on that LP that was hot was last words. I think that was on nastradamus... Vol 3 had a few more good wunz IMO
