It's simple really, post up an album that you consider your faovorite, or one of your favorites if you're an indecisive prick, and defend it. Just don't go "because it's dope" or "I can't explain why I like if" cause if you can't actually defend it in multiple sentences, then leave the thread.


Here's mine:


Jay-Z - The Blueprint

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005O54T.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg


This album sort of has a special place in my heart (as gay as that may sound). It's the first hip hop album that I really fell in love with, and felt compelled to listen to over and over and over again. I think I actually listened to it almost everyday for like a year and never once got sick of it. It's just amazing from start to finish with absolutely no weak tracks (Yes, "Girls Girls Girls "is a good track), amazing production, and superb lyrics. In addition to that, not many album can match it's diversity, not one song on it sounded like the previous one, they all had a different sound, and a different feel to it, so it never got dull. In my opinion, there is no greater hip hop album ever made than Jay-Z's "The Blueprint".

ScottishHead/Greeny, if anyone posts any bullshit answers, just delete the posts.

Fucking incredible album. To me, this album has better replay value than any other album I have ever heard. The lyrics and production are both amazing. This album has a lot of depth to it too; every time I listened to it, I picked up on some line I didn't understand or pay as much attention to before. When you have an album where there's something new every time you listen, you've got something special.

Good post, I love that album, but sometimes I feel like it gets dull after "Can I Live" but I think that's just because of the ammount of pure dopeness concentrated in the first half of the album, regardless it's still amazing, and a top 15 album of all time. And what you said about getting better with every listen, that's how I feel about "Blueprint" and "Midnight Marauders" which is gonna be the next album I'll post up.

Edan-Beauty and the Beat

http://cdn.last.fm/coverart/300x300/2566427-547216707.jpg

I've seriously played this shit over atleast 75 times. Everytime i listen to it it's fresh all over again, what catches me mostly is the unique beats. He also has some intelligent lyrics, and incorporates great wordplay into them. The timing with his beats and his lyrics are amazing to me.

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002B1M.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

i believe its better than "Illmatic". To me IWW truly showed Nas as not only a thinker but a creative poet. he took the mafioso theme and completely embodied it. creativity wise....he shown. "I Gave You Power" is one of the best songs in hip hop history. "The Set Up" is one of Nas' best story songs ever. Lyrically, he was at his height. "The Message" and of course his magnus opus "Take It In Blood" are two great lyrical songs. he had commercial hits w/o it being too commercial ("Street Dreams", "Street Dreams (Remix", "If I Ruled The World"). he had one of the best posse cut songs ever (affirmative action)...it was his best

enter the 36 chambers

i can always put this fucking album on and bump
when i'm bored, when i'm chillin, when there's nothing to do
listenin to protect ya neck right now lol
and there really wasnt a song that a i didnt like
such a classic

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5198W8VQHQL._AA240_.jpg



This album is just raw. For me, this album symbolises Hip Hop as it is supposed to be. On this album KRS drops some very clever lyrics, without being too teachy. He drops knowledge but keeping it street at the same time. Production is awesome aswell. The album never gets dulls, as the tracks sound so different, yet as a whole it is cohesive. I never skip a single track.

Brother Ali... Shadows On The Sun.

This album epitomizes "feeling". On every single track, you can FEEL what Brother Ali is saying. He has so much passion. You FEEL his pain, you FEEL his sadness, you FEEL his happiness, and you FEEL his concern. Almost every track is a relatable situation and there's a track on there for everybody.

He starts out with "Room With A View". Completely depicting life in "the hood" and painting a picture with his vivid imagery, Brother Ali MAKES you visualize what he sees.

Later, Brother Ali tells the story of a good ol' ass whoopin'. He begins to describe his anxiety with "Testosterone-filled hallway confrontation spectacle
Time to see who got the testicles" as he approaches a confrotntation. He goes on to say he tries to ignore it and walk on. But does he say that? No. He says this... "I'm not the type to holler, "What you wanna do then?"
Hands parallel to my shoulders, I keep it movin", which enables you to actually SEE what he's saying. Later in the song, as most of you prolly know, he gets his ass kicked by some racist redneck type cats.

There are so many others I could quote, but I'll just leave it at that. If anyone hasn't heard this shit OR his new album, The Undisputed Truth, it's a must do. The Champion EP is also great. It'd probably be my favorite of his discog. if it was a LP.

Here's one of my favorite songs from Brother Ali.

This album is like an eye in to the past. it makes you feel like you just touched down in a bad part of bucktown, but that you are still safe up on a rooftop looking down on the madness below.

example:
"just another day they raped a girl in the exit/ put her in a coma now shes 3 months pregnant/ damn its so real in the heart of bucktown/ make a nigga think before he dare FUCK around"

this album give you a creepy insight that can be both interesting and repulsive, but regardless it comes from a place that i have little or no connection with. so in that regard, its invaluable.
lines like:
"Never parlay without an L" are what really puts you in the right state of mind. i can clearly picture a meeting between rivals and a blunt passed between them in order to solidify an agreement. maybe this is just a white kid from seattle in 2007 who knows nothing about the intricacies of a crack-scarred, early 90's NY ghetto, but i feel this album has taught me more about that situation than any schoolbook.

and all that before we even begin to consider the musical aspects of Enta Da Stage.
Beatminerz anyone? if i could nominate production teams for all the "favorite producers" threads then it would most likely be beatminerz all day every day. jazzy, dark, and beautiful. they really do what they want to do, not flexing to please the audience.
and they, above any other producer, respects the idea of subtlety and simplicity.
example, in Make Munne the "loop" is a single note, played about every 8 bars or so. slapped over a sick bassline and THE UN-COMPARABLE BEATMINERZ PERCUSSION!!!! its always so raw and hard.

and last. . .

Buckshot.

"if yous a bigga nigga bigga niggas get bucked/ because im the buck i dont give a fuck my dick you can suck"

crude? yeah
simple? sure
yet at the same time a sick rhyme? you bet.

christ thats long, someone read it, please.

^ haha, I did homie. Good review

http://z.about.com/d/rap/1/0/G/-/-/-/Nas-Illmatic.jpg

Yeah yeah, the cliche favorite album, but there really is no album I enjoy more than this. One thing that pisses me off is some people saying the beats are boring (or a bit dull). I'm of the opinion that Pete Rock, Premo and Large Professor made some of the best beats of their careers on this album. The World Is Yours? NY State of Mind? Halftime and It Ain't Hard To Tell? I really don't understand how anybody can call that dull. Not to mention the great beat LES made for Life's a Bitch and AZ's well known and great guest verse. And then of course Nas, at his best on the album, hungriest he ever was, and the reality of the album that you feel. Just the whole atmosphere gives you that authentic New York City feel (and being from there, I can relate to that a bit).

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YY6AQJRRL._AA240_.jpg



This ain't my favorite LP, but I chose it because it's one of my favorites, and I figure a lotta heads would disregard it without hearing it. This album is truly classic. Troy's delivery on this album is incredible, you can feel the emotion on every track. Cuts like "Oh, Father" "Move To Mars" and "Eternal Yard Dash" show that he was an introspective rapper even though his beats are buck. "Frame Me" and "Rhonda" show the storytelling skills that he made known on his first album. Not to mention this album has the classic "Vice Versa", which remains in my top three greatest songs of all time. This is a well rounded album that broke the mold of what southern crunk is supposed to be. There are no club/dance songs on the entire album, just straight from the soul lyrics. If you ain't heard this then I highly recommend listening to "Vice Versa" and "Oh, Father".

I've taken quite a bit of flak for this in the past, but...
http://www.everything-outkast.com/images/atliens.jpg


"It's teh worst of their great albumz! Sophomore slump!!!"


Bullshit.

I Honestly believe this is the best Outkast album ever made, and thus the best album ever made. They really, REALLY shined on this one, beatwise and lyric wise. You cannot tell me that Mainstream, Millenium, Decatur Psalm, 2 Dope Boyz in a Cadillac, ATLiens, Wheelz of Steel, Elevators, Ova Da Woodz, Wailin', Jazzy Belle, Babylon and E.T were dope as fuck. Even the INTRO was great! Hey, what do you know... that's the whole album minus one song! And even 13th Floor was good... easily a fuckin classic, and my favorite album of all time.

Fuckin classic in every sense of the word. Not only does it have one of the realest songs ever made - Born 2 Live - nearly every song's a masterpiece in their own right. Oh, and it has the fuckin classic-of-a-classic Time's Up. 'Nuff said. OC is fuckin slept on by quite a few rap fans and it's saddening as he's one of the best in the game.

Hell yes, I agree with you 100%. This, along with "Dah Shinin'" really makes you wanna throw on a hoodie and rob some elderly women. It just has that gritty, grimey feel and sound to it. An incredible album.

Lol, cliche indeed. But anyone who says that the beats are weak or hold the album back on that needs to get their ears checked. IMO, that's the album's strongest point is it's production, and I regard it as one of the top 10-15 best produced hip hop albums of all time.

Agreed, this album is amazing from start to finish, and like the Blueprint was, it is diverse as hell. Not one song sounds generic or similar to a previous one. Easily one of the best albums every created, and it's also pretty damn underrated, hardly ever getting mentioned. I think I would even go as far as to put it in my top 10 of all time. Best song on it it's "Time's Up", such an amazing song.

Probably the best collaboration ever between a MC and Producer. C.L. Smooth and Pete Rock both come at their best on every track with perfect loops and flow. T.R.O.Y. is also one of the best songs ever made.

Yeah man I actually was listening to this today, awesome album. I had Lots of Lovin' on repeat for like a half an hour.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TlqIHmY6L._SS500_.jpg


Big L's debut album is no doubt a classic. L came verse after verse with unbelievable flow and punches. He had a young Jay-Z on there which was a plus since Jay still had it and the same goes for Cam'ron (then Killa Cam). He had tracks that spoke about the streets, Danger Zone and Street Struck were unbelievable tracks; some people don't realize he wasn't only a punchline rapper. The production was unbelievable as well, Showbiz, Buckwild, and Lord Finesse did an excellent job giving it the raw NY feeling. Definitely a classic and anyone who says Big L is overrated is crazy. End of rant.

If you've heard this album before it pretty much speaks for its self. This album is so solful and humble, you can really picture all of the songs with much detail. Plus the beats are top notch, might even be 9ths best work on an album IMO.

http://www.blissneso.com/images/merch/dotdCD.jpgBliss n Eso: Day of the Dog

By far my favourite album, theres not a track on it that I don't love, the diversity between the songs is awesome since you can feel like your listening to heaps of different artists all on the same level of skill.
The lyrics are sick and the flow is on point the whole album, I can leave any one of the songs on this on repeat for hours and they don't get old..
Great production by Bliss, M-Phazes and Weapon X , classic album..
I doubt many people have heard it because it's an Australian Hip-Hop album but I'll post the download link in case anyone is interested..
Also continues the theme and story of the album through every track.
Definetely not the best album of all time but still my favourite (as Barz-ish as that sounds)

Agree with Shadows on the sun, enta da stage, and it was written (like it more than illmatic sometimes).

Someone already posted "Word.. Life", but imo Jewelz is slightly better, and is in my top 3 albums ever.

http://www.hhv.de/images/cover5/29344.jpg

I'd put the production on this album right behind illmatics, it's amazing, on every track. Only 2 featured artists, Big L and Freddie Foxx, who both bring solid as hell verses on the tracks they're on. O.C.'s voice and flow are so dope and underrated its suprising. This album gets no props whatsoever, if O.C. ever does gets mentioned, Word...Life is the album everyone talks about, but this is easily just as good if not better..

This is one of my Fav albums Royce 5'9 brings it in this one he talks about some deep shit, around the time He was recording this CD he was beefing with Eminem and D12 so He speaks on that as well but other than that, This CD is a Classic you can't say u a Royce fan until u herd this CD

http://cdn.last.fm/coverart/300x300/2027573.jpg

This CD is a fucking Chi-Town Classic, Twista brings the Chi-town Midwest flavor for all u niggas.

^ Yeah i was going to put that album up next, it's fucking dope, love it.. resurrection is better though imo, most people don't even know about it, All About The Papes is a classic track.

http://wildstyle.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/little-brother-getback-cvr.jpg

Alot of people think this album was a disappointment because it wasn't the caliber of the Listening or The Minstrel Show. I can easily let this muhfucka play all through the end without skipping a song. I'll admit, when I first listened to it it wasnt what I expected but I recently popped it into my stereo and realized how big of an idiot I was. Although this album was the Minstrel or the Listening, it was easily one of the best albums of 2007.

^ The minstrel show and the listening wern't even that good.. so if it isn't anywhere near them it must be pretty average.

^ The minstrel show and the listening wern't even that good.. so if it isn't anywhere near them it must be pretty average.

^^the Minstrel Show and the Listening were phenominal, i hope a plane flies into your ass (yes on the inside)

not funny...

everybody seems to be doing albums that everybody likes
so i'll go with an album that is has garnered mixed feelings since it's release ....

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/Large/43/540343.jpg

i remember buying Pun's Endangered Species & Purple Haze on Christmas Eve in 2004 and i instantly loved it ...

on this album Cam's main focus wasn't to show he is a top notch emcee, he set out to make an album that everybody from your young brother to your granny to the pop crowd to people in the street to someone in jail infact just wherever your from can enjoy ... and he achieved that to me ...

Cam's in his comfort zone on this album ... you can see he's progressed from being a hungry emcee from the street back in his COC days to a now colourful, funny, cocky, stylish sometimes almost MF Doom'esque (i know this will upset some you faggots) witty rapper that swaggers effortlessly through tracks at ease ...

on the album Cam does the usual gangster shit in his own way ... only other rapper in the mainstream that did it in his own way was Ghostface ...

the beats have a good range and his choice of beats is great ...

it's hard not to enjoy songs like ...

Get Down
Killa Cam
Down & Out
Harlem Streets
More Reasons

it also has some funny skits

it's one of those albums that if you are having a shitty day you can play it and feel a bit better

during what was happening to me in my life at the time there was a line that Cam spit "told my mother i hustle, she said be careful" at the time that was nicer to me than a dope piece of wordplay or nice punchline ...

basically this album is not for these so called "heads" who want something lyrically amazing because this is not ... by no means is it lyrically terrible just not Cam's main focus on the album ... also if you are a person that takes yourself too seriously and are dull (kind of sums up alot of people on RW's) then this is not the album for you ...

put it this way ... you will either love or hate this album

best thread in the HHF at the moment.

http://cdn.last.fm/coverart/300x300/2210943-282954276.jpg

You probably knew this was coming before i even posted but i'm just going by the thread title.
Anyways 'Archetype' is my favorite album it's my number one and it has been since i first heard it.
I like how he's so versatile on the album i didn't expect the album to be how it was
so i was kind of thrown when i first went through it but within days i was hooked.
His singing is great and there's only 2 songs with guest appearances on them
So you really get a chance to hear Tonedeff as a whole and not in bits and pieces.
His Lyrics are definitely on point throughout the whole album even when he's singing.
He hits with everything from Humor,Fast Flow,Punchlines etc. it's just greatness in my eyes
and it will be my favorite for quite a while, maybe until his next release.

http://www.thadoghouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/99753graduation-kanye-west.png

For an album that features only 1 truly bad song (Drunk & Hot Girls) this album takes an unnescessary beating. Granted it is in no way Kanyes best work, but can you deny the quality of Good Morning, Can't Tell Me Nothing, Everything I Am, and Big Brother?

best thread in the HHF at the moment.


Because I make the best threads on RW, err'one know dat!

too many people didn't leave there comfort zone in this thread, a majority just said albums everyone liked ... afterall it is "defend" an album ...

^ gimmie a few and I will. Although I rarely see any talk about Brother Ali at all on this forum.

http://getabar.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/lupe-fiasco-the-cool.jpg

This album is so throwback IMO. Lupe incorporates a Jay-Z swagger with Nas depth. The story telling and concept tracks are too ill to ignore and the production is very developed from his first album. It has some experiemental tracks as well and gives you a different feeling than most Hip-Hop album.

I'll leave the comfort zone then

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000031XCY.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.gif

I really do think Nastradamus is a good album. Sure, it's his most commercially motivated work to date (if you want to make the Jay-Z comparisons, somewhat similar to Vol. 2 which I like quite a bit), but there's only a few songs on it that I find truly unlistenable (Big Girl, Quiet Niggas, You Owe Me) The rest of the songs are good and I enjoy them all. Some of Us Have Angels, Project Windows, Life We Chose, Come Get Me...those songs are pretty good lyrically, for all the "watering down" he did on this album. Family, Shoot Em Up, Last Words...more street oriented songs but I like them as well. And then there's the title track, and the first thing I think of is the beat, which I like a lot, the lyrics aren't amazing, but its a good song and entertaining.

http://sunetesubsol.net/v4/images/vakill%7E%7E%7E%7E%7E_darkestcl_102b.jpg

Long story short, THIS album is that crack.....All the way from the unique production to lyrics.....The lyrics alone on this album are on a whole nother level......Vakill comes hard on this album and brings you original wordplay, punchlines, storytelling, metaphors, all of the above.....Just the way he comes at you with his advanced lyrics just makes you want to hear what he's gonna come up with next.....

This is album is just slick, its that type of album if you listen to it over and over again you catch something you didnt hear everytime.....IMO you missing out on some great shit if you havent heard this album

http://c.myspace.com/Groups/00018/75/60/18520657_l.jpg



Now this album right here is an album that no hip hop head in their right mind would even consider listening to after takin one look at the wacky ass cover. But behind that cover, lies one of the most overlooked gems in hip hop history. From the start of the very first track, this album pulls you in with Big Bear's flow and voice and doesn't let you go, takin you on a journey of deep tracks, playfull tracks, and suprisingly "lyrical" tracks. The production on this album is top notch, and Big Bear's flow and swagger is one of the best I've ever heard. He reminds me alot of Scarface and I often draw comparisons between this and "The Diary" which happens to be another one of my all-time favorites. Songs like "Heavon Or Hell" and "No Hope" show just how versitle and deep he can get, and completely contradict any prejudgements that may have been raised by his album cover. This album is definately not just some gimmicky southern album, this is truely a dope album in every sense of the word. To sum it all up, this album is a true hip hop gem, and one of the most slept on album I've ever come across, and one of of my personal favorites. Don't sleep on this album.

hmmm i got both vakills albums, and on both of em im only feeling the title tracks, the beats are so weak apart from the title tracks, i can see why you might think its dope coz your from chicago like he is, like i feel a lot of my local rappers coz i relate to them, but i can tell americans would call them wack, feel me..?

AZ, for sure one of the greatest to pick up a mic, all his albums have been solid and enjoyable, to right he's slept on by the mainstream, i don't see how, first he had AWOL which was more commercial than nas streets disciple, and then this album The Format with nice as fuck beats throughout, he comes straight with the lyrics each verse is what you'd expect from him, yeah it sounds commercial, so the fuck what... hes got some nice guest apperances with MOP and Little Brother, and even uses biggies classic ten crack commandments sample on the track animal. The title track had a different feel to the average premo track, but was still one of the best beats of 06.. i'll put it this way, if the album cover said Nas instead of AZ, people would have been calling it a nas comeback and a classic or damn near classic..

To those who wrote him off because he looks like Sam Cassel's illegitimate child and thought the entire album was about SELLIN CRACK... Well, time for me to jack [this thread] and THROW SOME D'S ON THAT BITCH...

That song became a hood classic and at the same time was radio friendly. The rest of the album's content isn't meant for the radio and damn well cannot be understood by the average [and more common nowadays] hip hop "backpacker".

I'm abandoning the comfort zone, now.

This effort by Bizzare is his best ever. You begin to fully appreciate his psycho outlandish style while still taking a glimpse into how this fat goat-fucker's mind actually works.

This man is fucking insane. He can do ridiculous humor in Sex Tape, and he can confront his own vices in Got This Addiction. From the beats (you gotta really get into them) that compliment his style, to specific artist features.

He made sure not to feature any of D-12 besides Kuniva on a posse cut, and Mr. Porter on production... Thank god for Bizzare knowing better than to put Eminem on the album. It is what sets his album apart in the first place.

He's got a lot of his boy King Gordy on the album. His voice and flow go well with Bizarre's, too. Kinda how Karniege compliements Vast Aire's voice......... kinda.

He's got Tech N9ne on his "hard" track Knock Em Out, and he obviously outshines everybody by showing them how to flow to a beat and catch a rythm.

I wouldn't be surprised if he took years to put this together, because I doubt his brain can churn out as many albums as a rapper who isn't on every drug known to man..... including Mescaline.

How I Hustle, G-14, and She's Homeless are nice as fuck, too. The intro to G-14 is classic.

good post.

^ i might like him if i could understand the nigga, like str8 up you gotta listen damn hard to understand what the fuck he is saying, he looks like a mini 50 cent which doesn't help either.....

the accent doesn't really effect the listen for me. I am from the South, though. I hear shit like that on the daily.

^same thing.

I guess it is just something we're accustomed to. I gotta handle millions of different accents a day in Miami.

Fucking incredible album. To me, this album has better replay value than any other album I have ever heard. The lyrics and production are both amazing. This album has a lot of depth to it too; every time I listened to it, I picked up on some line I didn't understand or pay as much attention to before. When you have an album where there's something new every time you listen, you've got something special.

Awesome Album!!

Dead Presidents is prob my fav song

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/Large/60/496960.jpg

One of the most underrated albums of 03' easily. Album never got the attn it deserved when it dropped.... Juelz is at his best on here, and the production and lyrics are on point on this album.....Each track he's spitting about some different shit, from bangers, to just personal songs and is easily one of Dipset most quality releases in their catolouge......Shit still sounds as good as it was 2003....Its Just a good album to pop in and kick back to time to time....Why underrated? Because this album went unoticed when it dropped, but when he dropped 'What The Games Been Missing' he was seen as a new rapper that just came out.....Juelz literally brings his experiences and thoughts 'From Me To You' as the title suggests

Nay.... i was bumpin this way when i used to personally buy cds in the store.

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000K3HL.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Big Puns capital punishment is one my favorites because it was one of the first albums I bought with my own money I saved up to buy this. Twinz was the reason why I bought it and songs like super lyrical, Glamour Life and beware keep me listening every day. The mixture of lyrical and gangsta made me love it.

"I saved up to buy this."

You were either broke as hell or young as hell, lol

I was young about 8 or 9

http://z.about.com/d/rap/1/0/1/D/-/-/BlueScholarsBayani.jpg




i absolutely love this CD. great up beat lyrics with production to match it. ever since iv gotten this CD, iv heard at least one song from it a day. I feel as if everyone can connect to at least one song on the CD. My dad hates hiphop and i played the CD he actually liked a few songs. im not sayin this cd is gonna be the bridge to bring ppl to real hiphop. but that ppl should be able to connect to some of the songs on the CD

http://jivemagazine.com/features/2004/bestmusic/wutang.jpg

im a WUheadbanger n this Cd is my favorite Cd ever

idk the songs are violent but not like "ima get my nine n cap u like i did all the other nigga's"

\but they put it in kung-fu way

Jay-Z is wack

Jay-Z is wack

5 out of the 10 albums he's released can be seen as wack but in no way is he a wack emcee

Defend this...

It's simple really, post up an album that you consider your faovorite, or one of your favorites if you're an indecisive prick, and defend it. Just don't go "because it's dope" or "I can't explain why I like if" cause if you can't actually defend it in multiple sentences, then leave the thread.


Here's mine:


Jay-Z - The Blueprint

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005O54T.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg


This album sort of has a special place in my heart (as gay as that may sound). It's the first hip hop album that I really fell in love with, and felt compelled to listen to over and over and over again. I think I actually listened to it almost everyday for like a year and never once got sick of it. It's just amazing from start to finish with absolutely no weak tracks (Yes, "Girls Girls Girls "is a good track), amazing production, and superb lyrics. In addition to that, not many album can match it's diversity, not one song on it sounded like the previous one, they all had a different sound, and a different feel to it, so it never got dull. In my opinion, there is no greater hip hop album ever made than Jay-Z's "The Blueprint".

This is my heat right here. I can listen to it while sipping Mojitos with the wife, or throwing back the Hennessy with my niggas. Funky beats accompanied by sick flows. It is everything I ever wanted in an album, and I am still waiting for someone to top it.

Sorry I don't know how to post pics.

My fav Cube album and a classic in my eyes.

I was really into to Dre and Snoop when I got this and it fitted into to that whole west coast laid back vibe. It was also my 1st cube album and really the first I had heard of him other than NWA.

Cube made this album so personal some how

Good post, I love that album, but sometimes I feel like it gets dull after "Can I Live" but I think that's just because of the ammount of pure dopeness concentrated in the first half of the album, regardless it's still amazing, and a top 15 album of all time. And what you said about getting better with every listen, that's how I feel about "Blueprint" and "Midnight Marauders" which is gonna be the next album I'll post up.Reasonable Doubt is also my all time favorite album and I somewhat agree with you. Jay claims he is a master sequencer but on Reasonable Doubt the sequencing was poor. IMO, Can I Live should have been first song but it doesn't change the fact that Reasonable Doubt will always be my top album...

Anghellic by Tech N9ne:

This album is for those severly sick and depressed it has that line u can cross.....if u wanna be bad or good it has both feelings for dat ass...if life suckz bump it....if u indulge too much bump it ...Tech makes a point of making party trackz and indulging in drugz and hoez and then punishing himself for it in later trackz....this is life this is contradiction.....this is TECH N9NE!

http://z.about.com/d/rap/1/0/v/9/-/-/MMLP.jpg
Eminem ~ The Marshall Mathers LP

I love this album for a variety of reasons, maybe the most important is the fact that this is the album that got me into Rap and Hip-Hop music. As previously, I had only listened to Rock and Indie music, but now all I listen to is Rap.

This album really is a classic, Em's lyrics and rhymes flow so brilliantly and some of his lyrical content is creative genius. Never before had I seen an album with so much passion and personal insight involved. I loved this album the first time I heard it, and I still do. White boys can rap!

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w171/bengals69/slim_shady_lp.jpg

The Slim Shady LP is definatly my favorite. I got this album when i heard Without Me. I was like "damn, this songs pretty cool", but I was told by family to not listen to him because hes bad and talks about bad stuff and blah blah blah. I was about 9 or 10. I decided to check out more of his music so i went out and bought the Slim Shady LP. I wasnt even into rap, i liked stuff like Linkin Park and Alien Ant Farm. But that day, I realized how amazing rap is. That album made me LOVE rap. After I got that album I fell in love with Eminem. I bought all his CDs and read up on him and watched everything I could find on him. Now I pretty much know every single thing about him. Thats why this album has such a impact on me, it got me a idol, and got me into hip hop.

http://www.mixmatters.com/hot/images/Lupe_Fiasco_Food_and_Liquor.jpg

Lupe Fiasco
Food and Liquor
2006 - 1st and 15th/Atlantic Records

[LEFT]Incredible. Simply Incredible. The album has the perfect mix, top tier production, great guests, the type of lyrical ability that will give you shivers and make you go back 15 seconds to re-listen to the line, this album is the kind of album that leaves you wanting more from everyone else in hip hop

You see production from Kanye and the Neptunes on this album, but Lupe doesn't put jaw dropping producer names on every track, and the album doesn't suffer - it prospers. The variety you see, the upbeat production on tracks like I Gotcha to an emotional slowdown on Hurt Me Soul, you find yourself engaged track to track, instead of tiring as the album goes on.

With only two big name guests - Jay-Z and Jill Scott, Lupe proves that he isn't reliant on other talent. Jay doesn't steal the spotlight from Lupe on Pressure, they share, and Jill Scott proves to be the perfect compliment to Grammy-Nominated Daydreamin' - a song in which the chorus is captivating, but not nearly as some of Lupe's lyrics of the daydream's of the youth of the world -

Now come on everybody, let's make cocaine cool
We need a few more half naked women up in the pool
And hold this MAC-10 that's all covered in jewels
And can you please put your titties closer to the 22s?

But Lupe isn't afraid to switch up the stories, the message he is sending to his audience. He Say She Say - a story of trying to manage without a father figure, avoids cliches and instead touches hearts -

Now he's fighting in class
Got a note last week that say he might not pass
Ask me if his daddy was sick of us
Cause you ain't never pick him up
You see what his problem is?
He don't know where his poppa is

As the album draws to a finish, Lupe continues to show that he isn't afraid to show his own personal talent from his record label, from Gemini and Sarah Green and producer Soundtrakk earlier in the album, he brings out vocalist Matthew Santos to help him with his politically fueled track American Terrorist, touching on America's current state as well as its past -

Don't give the black man food, give red man liquor
Red man fool, black man nigga
Give yellow man tool, make him railroad builder
Also give him pan, make him pull gold from river
Give black man crack, glocks and things
Give red man craps, slot machines

As the album ends, you find that you didn't just experience music, you experienced something far bigger. Lupe took you on a musical adventure, through his mind and into yours, he touched on all aspects of life, there is something for everybody on this album, don't sleep.

Lyfe Jennings
The Pheniox

This is one of those albums that will calm u down. He talks about true life situations and i like his voice. It's original

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/510BDPHF4ZL._SS500_.jpg
DESPITE WHAT OTHER'S MIGHT SAY ABOUT ABOUT PAC NOT BEING THE BEST RAPPER, PAC WAS AN EMCEE WITH AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF VERSATILITY. THERE'S SO MUCH DEPTH IN THIS ALBUM, MOST SONGS ON HERE CAN STILL COMPETE WITH AND SURPASS MOST ALBUMS THAT ARE JUST NOW COMING OUT. PAC IS THE MARVIN GAYE OF HIP-HOP. WITH TRACKS LIKE 'THUGZ MANSION', 'MAMA'S JUST A LITTLE GIRL', AND 'NEVER CALL YOU BITCH AGAIN', THIS ALBUM REPRESENTS WHAT CURRENT HIP-HOP SHOULD BE...MUSIC WITH A MESSAGE.

http://www.onlineathens.com/images/092503/bubba.jpg

This album is a classic in my eyes. Yes, a 5/5. I enjoy every single song on this album.

Bubba Sparxxx is EXTREMELY underrated. His first album, Dark Days Bright Nights was pretty good. 8/10.

Deliverance is a classic

And The Charm is a weak effort, rating at about 3/5, in my opinion.

The production of Deliverance is great. It's original and there's nothing like it. It characterizes Bubba's roots, containing a lot of Banjo type instruments and that hill-billy sound.

His good ol' Hip-Hop style of bragging boasting to his story telling is well above par.

Here's one of my fav. songs on the album.

You may be dismissive, but if you took the time out to read this, at least peep the track. I GUARANTEE even if you don't like him, you'll enjoy 1 of these songs.

Album : Deliverance

[Bubba Sparxxx - talking]
Uh huh, yeah
Good Lord
May God have mercy on my soul

[Verse 1 - Bubba Sparxxx]
I love her, but you never would know
That by the way I just let my girl go
With tears in her eyes from years of the lies
She backed on up and disappeared out the drive
Wait, hey, what can I say?
All we had means nothin today
I did my thing and she did hers
But my crimes are a wee bit worse
And now I'm sittin here all alone with my guilt
Just me and the dogs in the home that we built
It was Andy's and hers, even though Bubba bought it
But Bubba wouldn't leave just like her mother called it
from the pink, only to the blue blame
God forgive me for causin you pain
All it was, ain't no more
Cause my baby's gone and when it rains it pours

[Chorus]
She tried to tell me I needed to be strong
I wasn't listening and now my baby's gone

[Verse 2 - Bubba Sparxxx]
One for the pleasure, two for the sin
Three for the family we could a been
Had I not been so concerned
with this life, no spoken words
Could begin to undue what's done
Deep within I know that you must run
Far away, from the thought of my smile
And the broken dream of us walkin that aisle
I first saw +Betty+ in my Nanny White's yard
The breast where the best, and the fanny my lord
A fly country girl, just workin them gifts
She's my queen, was a virgin I guess
But I ain't never ask and I ain't never tell
But Betty had the cash every time I went to jail
And how did I reward her loyalty
Let her walk in and see her cousin Joy on me

[Chorus]

I ..
Uh, uh, uh

[Verse 3 - Bubba Sparxxx]
It's been six months and still no word
I try to carry on like it still don't hurt
Hoes come around but I still won't flirt
Drinking's worse and the pills don't work
Last I heard she was in Birmingham
Livin with a good hard workin man
And lookin back on it, that's exactly what she wanted
Not a rebel with a passion for the moment
I live for the fiddle and the kick in the snout
I take my love and I stick it in there
Moved a Jimmy and made this song
All because my baby's gone

[Chorus]

Another one of my fav. songs....

Album : Deliverance

[Intro]
Listen, first you must travel a long dusty road
This road you shall travel will seem like nowhere
But that nowhere will turn into somewhere
Keep yo' head up Bubba, don't let no body getchya down
Cuz that you travel shall turn around, begin

[Kiley Dean]
Ahhhhhh ahhhhh
Ahhhehhhhahhh
Ohhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhehhhh
Ahhhhehhhohhhh
Nowhere, nowhere

[Verse 1: Bubba Sparxxx]
I've excepted every challenge and risin to all occasions
The country boy done got 'em shook like Randy Moss and Jason
Perhaps all Bubba's numerals don't fit in y'alls equation
If yo' opinions show inside without you, all of saved 'em
Cuz they groped, the greatest southern rapper fuckin period
Negative spirits, they only keep you down a myriad
And satin's substance is in my system, steal my wisdom
He's never once compromised, that's between God and I
Never once forgotten my manors cuz my mama
Played in public housin Opelika, Alabama
But she had a different plan for me, and Russ and Ginger
Thank the Lord for Jimmy Mathis Pops they must remember
How you held it down when them other clowns disappeared
Taught me how to seek to scope, shoot and leave with the deer
Then made me drink the blood to show me life was precious
The money rose from nowhere 'til somewhere here's my directions

[Chorus 2x: Kiley Dean]
I know what it's like to be nowhere
I know what it's liiiiiike

[Verse 2: Bubba Sparxxx]
Can you relate to five kids, six fish sticks on the plate
Or writin Santa Claus, I guess he got the list too late
Or to catch the fish you bate the hook with little Dylan's poo poo
On Mr. Allen's property, he catch you he will shoot you
Let these cats amuse you with comical depictions
But where I'm from bein broke's no honorable affliction
Love some Jimmy Carter, but we never ever voted
But slum is still slum, so you best believe we tote it
Every fire arm from vacates to thirty-thirties
And from live rocks to live stocks, they paged the early birdy
Thus we worked the land like you worked the block with AO
But I chose keys over cattle cuz the profits way mo'
Might get locked away though, peddle in them snow cones
So we keep it simplified with acres of that homegrown
Plus the finest shine that you could find inside of Memphis
From east nowhere to west somewhere still the grind is endless

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Bubba Sparxxx]
It all comes down to this, one last chance to advance
Be honest stinkin round up to big dance all my plans
Of bein viewed is somethin special, more than just the other one
Will vanish in the papers, all the plagues the south has suffered from
The worlds weight plus a ton restin on my shoulders
But what the trackers de my curse, is blessed to them, I hold a
Cuz Eminem's incredible, but then I really have to say this
For y'all to leave my soul at rest and add me to yo' play list
But this time I may just, leap and clear that hurtle man
Cuz it's gone be a million more, who knows if they'll be worth a damn
Bubba K I surely am, with that silky kind of sound
Carson tell yo' folks that I'll be early for this time around
Cuz I've come too far for my own mistakes to dwell me
Cuz lookin' back at self inflicted wounds and achin elmy
There's nothin they can tell me, get me somewhere in a hurry
If I'm nowhere then that nowhere be nowhere near a worry
Okey dokey..

[Chorus] - 4X

{*Cry Me A River beat*}

[Timbaland]
You don't have to say what you did
Come on Ki and help me sing

[Kiley Dean]
Cry me a river Oh 5x
I know what it's like to be nowhere ehh

I bought this album off Amazon like 2 months ago... C'mon Wit Da Get Down was my shit and will remain my shit... Attack of New Jerusalem is a great track too.

http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/45ed425961.jpg (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)

how can you not like this?
it's a classic end of discussion
every track is nice, no fillers
i never skip a track, never gets old
sick replay value
american beauty is a genius song
the saga is mad deep

if you haven't heard this, better cop it

Almost anything scored from that era by Buckwild is a classic.

bought this album 2 years ago and i'm still loving it
it's timeless
one of my favorite albums, it's a great classic for anyone
you can't not like this
93 till infinity is the chillest song

This shit is a classic album....Started off as a poet on Def Poetry, caught my attention quickly and i bought this album the day it dropped and it is very impressive...The intro sets the tone to the entire album, and it shows even a true poet can make an amazing hip hop album.....

if you do mushrooms thats sick...

If you want a legitamate trip on mushrooms then listen to the entire double-disc LP of The Further Adventures of Lord Quas.

The album will make you trip out and see seagulls flyin through your window and into your room. (That's what I saw on Shroom Music)

Other thoughts that run through your mind at a million miles per hour are: robots, matchboxes filled with maggots, and moving wall unit air conditioners.

I've taken quite a bit of flak for this in the past, but...

I Honestly believe this is the best Outkast album ever made, and thus the best album ever made. They really, REALLY shined on this one, beatwise and lyric wise. You cannot tell me that Mainstream, Millenium, Decatur Psalm, 2 Dope Boyz in a Cadillac, ATLiens, Wheelz of Steel, Elevators, Ova Da Woodz, Wailin', Jazzy Belle, Babylon and E.T were dope as fuck. Even the INTRO was great! Hey, what do you know... that's the whole album minus one song! And even 13th Floor was good... easily a fuckin classic, and my favorite album of all time.


I agree. This is in my top 5 of all times. Many people took ATLiens for granted but this is album was ground breaking. They didn't waste a second on this one.

Absolutely the best rap album ever, vanilla keeps it real with "the best of" all the best rhymes being layed down by the true greatest rapper,

Forget ya Biggie, forget ya tupac, vanilla is fo real, coming from a caucasian middle class family vanilla knows what lifes really about. Having 2 cars, working 9 to 5 and going on 2 family holidays a year.

This hard start to his life has made the man that he is a hardened gansgta rapper from the true ghetto of Dallas where he went to school and had to have packed lunch in front of all the "bigger boys" as a result he was bullied and this toughened him up for life in the big wide world.

But anyway about the album its got legendary songs such as "ice ice baby", "ninja rap" and "Hip Hop Rules", i mean come on check these ill rhymes out:-

"Remember Ice Ice Baby
Drove you crazy then I was big as Jay Z
I got paid and I got swayze
Eatin shrimp with my feet up made me lazy
I bought about 10 cars about 5 cribs
Out in the woods nobody knows where I live
Got a beautiful wife and two kids
But I'm married to Hip Hop and that's how it is"


With rhymes like this you can see how rap has took of into the musical phenomenom it is nowadays,

Ill say this from all of us on the site,

THANK YOU FOR MAKING RAP & HIP HOP WHAT IT IS TODAY & PEACE TO YOU MY BROTHER VANILLA
