I know alot of people are gonna disagree wit this one but let me state my reasons

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7674/jayzvol2hardknocklifeof8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Vol. 2 is not a classic by any stretch of the imagination but i've seen some serious hate for this album, sure Jay-Z is far from his best on this album but that doesn't mean he's terrible, it's a very commercial album but there are a good amount of enjoyable songs and it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets

Death Is Certain 5/5

yikes @ spice 1, there might be hope for this forum yet.

"I gotta question if I may? (Yeah)
Is it gay to play Putt-Putt golf with a friend (Yeah)
And watch his butt-butt when he tees off? (Yeah)
But, ut! I ain't done yet
In football the quarterback yells out hutt-hutt
While he reaches in another grown man's ass
Grabs on his nuts but just what if
It was never meant it was just an accident
But he tripped, fell, slipped and his penis went in
His teeny tiny little round hiney but he didn't mean it
But his little weenie flinched just a little bit"

^ thats not brilliant, thats queer shit.

God damn thought I was the only one who liked him, easily top 10 for me possibly the best political rapper out there.

My picks are Fat Joe's first 2 albums and Xzibits first 2 albums, both slept on as fuck

co-sign all said in the thread so far except that eastsidaz album & encore ...

theres far too many slept on albums ...

Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again by House Of Pain.
Its a shame really that this is so underrated.

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/340/349135.jpg

That's defenetly an underrated album,shit is just west coast to the bone,lol.

Their 2nd album is quite good.

chino xl has got to be one of the most underated rappers ever.

also xzibits first album. thats one of the best albums ive ever heard and no one takes notice.

^ yea man Xzibit is dope but his sophmore was just as good if not better IMO

^ yea man Xzibit is dope but his sophmore was just as good if not better IMO

Nah at the speed of life is better.

speed of life is a wicked album. go some quality lyrics on it :D

Nah at the speed of life is better.

I prefer 40 Dayz but I guess its cos I had it first and listen to it more

I think xzibit,every album has got worse.

at the speed of life>40 dayz and 40 nightz>restless>man vs machine>WOMD

Ive not heard his new one but I doubt it would be good.

I honostly think Streets Diciples is slept on, not enough love that it should get!!!

Streets Disiciple is incredible..If they dwindled it down to 11tracks it be better dan illmatic..

Redman - malpractise

word streets disciple is a sick album

^lol

I think that is Royce's best work, I like that better than all his other albums.

yeah its madd underrated

proofs searching for jerry garcia..mad album,had that months before his death,bumping it for weeks when i bought it,have it played to death..

Redman - malpractise

i didnt like it that much, definately not his best. Smash Sumthin is one of my fav tracks ever though. Every time that first bit of the song comes in, fuckin quality.

It's definatley not his best, you're right, but i never hear anyone talk about it, it seems to have just been forgotten. I think it's pretty good, a fair amount of decent tracks : Lick A Shot, Real Niggaz, Enjoy Da Ride, and Smash Sumthin. also had some of the funnier skits ive heard.

Brother Ali -- The Champion EP
Brother Ali -- Shadows on the Sun

Sage Francis -- A Healthy Distrust (if Personal Journals hadn't sucked as horribly as it did, i think he would actually get credit for how good this album is)


on the opposite side of the coin...

everything Jay-Z has done since Reasonable Doubt is underrated. yes, including the life and times vol. 1... "You Must Love Me" alone makes that cd worth having.

Method Man -- Tical. Liquid Swords, OBFCL, and ghost's stuff get all the love, but the bottom line is that this sounds better when you just sit back and vibe to it. i listen to it more than any other wu music.

Illogic -- Got Lyrics. good whether you listen to the lyrics, or just vibe to the beat. great for the car, great for headphones.

so many more...

Slick Rick -- The Art of Storytelling.

Common -- One Day It'll All Make Sense. not his best, but still a good album.

The Hi & Mighty -- Home Field Advantage. sounds great, some good lyrics, this album was flat out fun.

Sticky Fingaz: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones

very well made album IMO, if you havent heard check it!
something different, very different but well done

good, now you don't have to listen to that shite ever again ...

i thought personal journals was underrated. dag

good, now you don't have to listen to that shite ever again ...screw u,proof better dan ur favourite rapper

screw u,proof better dan ur favourite rapper

lmao ...

my favorite rapper is Nas ... he's definetly not better than Nas ...

he's not better than my top 20 or 30 of all time ...

people only give him a little bit of props nowadays cos he's 6 feet under ... before that not many people gave a fuck (no hate to the peoples who did like him before he got done in)

he's not better than Nas ...

he's not better than my top 20 or 30 of all time ...
thats ur opinion,iv heard enought proof shit to know he can spit for days

thats ur opinion,iv heard enought proof shit to know he can spit for days

Lil' Flip can spit for days ... that doesn't make him a class rapper though ...

it's all opinion though ...

true,u always get someone who thinks 2pac is a bad rapper

I liked Proof and bumped his shit before he got popped, even on the day he died before I actually knew.
I would call him a damn good rapper, but not the GOAT.

this album is slept on like crazy

http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000002H9I.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000002H9I/ref=dp_image_0/104-2361480-3942368?ie=UTF8&n=5174&s=music)

For me......

1) Jeru the Damaja - Wrath of the math
His ryhming spot on and ahead of its time and typical premier beats, album over shadowed by Gangstarr releases.

2) Common - One day it will all make sense.
I heard some of his stuff before this album and liked it but I was bowled over by this album. Album over shadowed by his other excellent albums but beats on this album do not get enough credit.

3) Ugly Duckling - Fresh Mode
I think these guys are underated and this is their best album. I like there funky back to basics style like an old De La album.

Three not talked about must haves for me.

AD.

Common - Electric Circus
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday
Atmospher - God Loves Ugly
