Eli Harris
Its either this, Mystic Stylez or Madvillainy
Jaxson Ward
Midnight Marauders >>
William Morales
Eli Lewis
They lack depth, their samples are almost always out of tune while being too compressed. They lack a fundamental of theory.
Pic related is the real best Hip Hop album if you're looking at it objectively.
Jeremiah Sanders
Illmatic is better and it's inferior on a technical level, but it's rawness is superior to any other hiphop album
Matthew Gonzalez
Fuck you
Joseph Hernandez
my favorite MF Doom release. Some hate all the skits in the middle but I love the plunderphonics
Connor Ward
anything associated with wu tang is at most kind of good
beyond overrated and laughably mediocre
faggot
ebin
vaudeville villain is a masterpiece
Hunter Reyes
MBDTF is compressed because it's a pop album so it's made to sound good on whatever speakers you use
Parker Adams
How come Ugly Mane fans are almost always the biggest retards?
Brandon Perez
who's ugly mane
Bentley Edwards
Jordan Kelly
MF Doom is objectively trash, his rhymes are weak as fuck, make no sense, and have completely illogical flow.
Brandon Edwards
Thinking that Mystic Stylez is the best 3-6 album is literally the whitest opinion on hip hip that you could have
Tyler Diaz
you're embarrassing the shit out of yourself. 36 Chambers and Liquid Swords are the 2 best Wu Tang projects. I would put Supreme Clientele up there as well. And why are you responding to a guy who posted MM..FOOD by saying "vaudeville villain is a masterpiece?" Yeah, I would say Vaudeville Villain is a good project, but it doesn't touch MM..FOOD or Madvillainy. You called a guy who posted Kanye's most loved album a faggot. How the fuck do you call someone who posted MBDTF a faggot? and then you respond to a Government Plates post with "ebin" as if it isn't the Death Grips's weakest project. And lastly, you post a mediocre to "okay" Ugly Mane project that's not even as good as Mista Thug Isolation. And yet Mista Thug Isolation is a beginning of the 2010s internet meme project that represents the ironic internet culture in that niche of time. It shouldn't be considered a "best rap album of all time."
Noah Sanders
this, black people listen to When The Smoke Clears or Da Unbreakables
Jordan Long
why did you type all of this
Thomas Rodriguez
It took me like 6 minutes and I just had to respond. A bigger waste of time would be fucking your mom
Tyler Clark
Liquid Swords is incredibly overrated by "REAL HIP HOP HEADZ" It's nowhere near 36 Chambers, Cuban Links, Ironman, etc.
Leo Garcia
Blake Hall
Liam Morales
Lord Willin is considerably better
Wyatt Powell
Leo Hill
I can't imagine how anybody would think it's anything but 36 Chambers. It has everything you could want in a hip hop album
Hunter Rogers
Cameron Garcia
Juan Gomez
And you can tell that maybe time is out of joint my love...so this is maybe just an SOS, shrapnel, an echo of dead sentiment, measurement tossed to nothing for no one a wasted effort - a shrug. I used to be in love
Alexander Smith
Zachary Walker
maybe the words are coming out too fast? maybe if he just reads the music his autism won't hold him back as much.
Easton Butler
Aiden Williams
Nathaniel Murphy
Carson Clark
It’s crazy how overlooked this masterpiece is
Luke Reyes
>Nigger hop
>good
Hip Hop would be made up of almost entirely cover artists, if only they could sing. So, considering cover artists get little respect, hip hop then would be the lowest form of music as an art form.
Landon Wright
Best rap album of all time right here. Niggas On The Moon is amazing
Jose Campbell
Literally all their other tapes from that era and dozens of albums after it are all better, it's just their debut album
Joshua Sullivan
shits so good. idk why he hasnt released anythign as good :(
Adrian Edwards
Frito's, Cheetos, Doritos
Dominic Carter

Kayden Garcia
Flesh Of My Flesh
Xavier Diaz
Adam Cruz
10/10 g-funk bangers on every track
Adrian Ross
son of a bitch, this is hard.
Ayden Butler
there is no discussion
Blake Richardson
illmatic's beats sound dated while chambers still sound unique
Hudson Rogers
its amazing how good neptunes production is - despite it being so dominant for years it still sounds fresh
Gabriel Ortiz
NOTM is their best project honestly
Cameron Martinez
How has no one said this yet?
Is it too recent?
Aiden Reyes
Logan Thompson

Purple Tape is a masterpiece.
Dominic Harris
Southern hip hop is so much better than the rest it's not even funny
James Bailey
Always felt like his later work never quite surpassed this one.
Jordan Fisher
Liam Hughes
LB is so good
Tyler Watson
Outkast in particular, yeah.
Luke Robinson
>their samples are almost always out of tune
>posts enter 36 chambers
???
Adrian Evans
looks like theres a lot of LBs between the two of them ahahahahahahah
William Morgan
Aaron Gray
how come you prefer this album over all eyez on me or makaveli 7 days theory?
Jack Long
All 3 are classics. I prefer a tighter album, so that rules out AEOM, and the other two are basically toss ups for me.
Adrian Wood
David Stewart
MATW is his most relatable work, and I prefer the production although I'd have to listen to both again
7 Day is a vengeful album, 'fuck the world' shit
Jonathan Campbell
Beyond based
Lincoln Williams
based choice
Jace Cook
Pac was a much better artist before becoming a tryhard gangster and Piru wannabe
Luis Nguyen
Nicholas Reed
Eminem's discography (yes, the entirety of it) and that's it for good rap.
Owen Butler
i was dissapointed in liquid swords. it seemed less energetic than 36 chambers; also they seemed to be too close to the mic , and so had to change the way they vocalized.
I like raekown's only built for cuban linx and also ghostface's ironman. those are pure kino
Nolan Wilson
Landon Cooper

Gucci Mane - Trap House 4 / Trap House 3 / The Appeal / Chicken Talk

Blake Moore
*ahem*
Nicholas Collins
Colton Scott
All those things you just said about those albums all apply to 36 Chambers too.
Also 36 Chambers has a handful of decent tracks but the rest feels just as flawed and mediocre. Their solo projects are much better.
Zachary Lee
Eminem has 1 good album
Cooper Moore
this
Ryder Hernandez
36 Chambers blows the solo projects out of the water. None of the solo projects have anything on the level of 7th chamber pt 2, protect ya neck, or shame on a nigga
Kevin Sullivan
Chase Morgan
>Also 36 Chambers has a handful of decent tracks but the rest feels just as flawed and mediocre
are you high dude
Jordan Green
>They lack depth, their samples are almost always out of tune while being too compressed. They lack a fundamental of theory.
None of that can be said about 36 chambers, not even close.
Based quads
Dylan Martinez
amazing flow
Jackson Ross
It’s overrated man. Also Tearz is complete ear rape at the beginning.
Daniel Garcia
Carter Howard
>oh no this music is abrasive, my ears!!
Noah Parker
I’m fine with most music being abrasive. But the beginning is literally a bunch of them yelling like gorillas at the top of their lungs.
Austin Rivera
sissy
Josiah Morgan
Whats ur favorite Wu album?
Grayson Ortiz
Extremely based
Adrian Martin
>Ayy Snoop lets make your song have amazing songs form beginning to end but put shitty skits into each and every one of them to ruin the listening experience on even a first listen!
Zachary Hughes

only accurate answers ITT
Sebastian Sanders
Did you know alias died last year
Brayden Hall
Literally based
Adrian Bennett
yeah that is annoying, but they're so corny they're almost funny ironically
is there a version online with the skits cut out?
David Ross
>no one posed Die Lit
Isaiah Johnson
The album takes me down a cybernetic train of sound and I get lost in all of the beats/el's odd flows and vocabulary. It doesnt sound polished at first listen but once you have it on repeat you notice that el deliberately placed every sound going on. I definitely think it's his best and it's one of the staples of the early 2000s underground scene.
Elijah Clark
was just thinking about that
Joshua Williams
Iv tried to get into kool keith a few times with mediocre results, il try again with this and if it sucks im fuckin done with his goofy ass
James Young
go back
Nathan Fisher
Supreme Clientele and Liquid Swords
Carson Howard

Christian Fisher
I got you user
Gavin Clark
these
Henry Fisher
pac was indeed a true gangster he was shooting and stomping niggas, you dont know anything about gangs never say the word piru again
Eli Gray
If human life on earth was facing destruction the rap albums that would be most important to preserve for alien life are:
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
36 Chambers
To Pimp a Butterfly
Kids See Ghosts
The Cold Vein
Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Ryder White
All based
Michael Taylor
1) Illmatic
2) The Slim Shady LP
3) Operation: Doomsday
4) Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
5) The College Dropout
This is the definitive top 5. Don't @ me
Nathaniel Sanchez
most interesting mixtape to come out in the last 10 years
Mason Brooks
these are the anons with good taste. everyone else is meh or haven't listened. also how has nobody posted any CunninLynguists?
Zachary Roberts
Kind of a boring pick I know, but I've only listened to like 10 hip hop/rap albums, and I really like this one.
James King
Andrew Torres
can't pin down exactly why, but pic related for me if i had to pick one.
These too, and especially because even though it's plenty well-known it doesn't get posted as much as it deserves relative to other greats.
Daniel Lee
Eli Carter
To Pimp A Butterfly
Christopher Hill
It pretty nice, but all time???
Caleb Moore
David Reyes
Ethan Foster
woop thought this was just great rap albums thread. For all time I'd probably choose TLOP.
Cooper Taylor
So it goes is underrated though. Shame the group broke up
Carter Rogers
:)
this album was at least the best of the year
Dylan Butler
Black Elvis/Lost in Space is better
Eli Hughes
niceee
Nicholas Roberts
Yeah, I've yet to find contemporary rappers as good and distinctly east coast as them since
Justin Morgan
Caleb Myers
Henry Powell
It's very clear some people have zero grasp on the genre of hip hop or it's history when you enter threads like these and realize how absurd some of these responses are. Holy shit.
Joshua Johnson
Kill yourself
Carter Anderson
Haha I get it! Because you don't like rap. Clever comment good sir!
Isaiah Phillips
Because I'm based
Dylan Turner
Daniel Sanchez

Angel Cooper
my personal favourite. the beats are in a whole other level

I played this on repeat throughout the summer of 16
Benjamin Robinson

Parker Flores
ive always felt like this was a concept album
Robert Rogers
Paul's Boutique to Hello Nasty is the best run of Rap / Hip Hop that's ever been laid to wax. There's no denying it. Even their instrumental stuff post Hello Nasty is phenomenal.
Jace Rodriguez
Liquid Swords is the only track I can get into on this one are there any other tracks that really stand out specifically or am I just glossing over the whole album?
Alexander Flores
most niggas on Yea Forums dont know about how tragic his death was
Evan Allen
Duel of the Iron Mic and 4th Chamber are two of the greatest Wu Tang affiliated tracks ever. I’d give it a listen in full, it took a couple to fully grow on me
Eli Lee
The Beastie Boys reign supreme and there's no legit argument against their supreme run of albums.
Jayden White
>tragic
I think the man's heart just croaked
Dominic Cox
THANK
YOU
Justin Stewart
Post 10/10 albums whites don't know about.
Jackson Lewis
Can't get much whiter than this take
Camden King
What's your opinion on their golden age and how it compares to rap / hip hop as a whole? Name artists that have had better careers / influences.
Landon White
I'm white and I heard it, I only like luchini
Nathaniel Reyes
Blowout Comb
Joseph Gray
Parker Powell
Oh...gunna kill myself now.
Luis Perry
That whole nyc era was higher quality, the beasties just had that punk-ish influence that spread their music super far.
David Walker
fucking finally, great album, legitimately have no heard anything that comes close. Not even from Madlib, everything just works here and theres no filler
Brody Flores
I preferred Old. Particularly the track with Gibbs where Danny raps like a fuckin g
Ethan Moore
Licensed to Ill - Hello Nasty is a great 5 album run but I think:
Kanye
Kendrick
MF DOOM
Tribe
Outkast
Gang Starr
The Roots
Ice Cube
have comparable ones
Logan Smith
Kevin Garcia
Freddie Gibbs is actually fucking hot fucking trash but he had MadLib so everyone thought he was good. But this album IS GOOD. But literally anyone else could have made this album better.
Luis Gonzalez
german rapper for kids. talk about copycating.
Ethan Walker
Those individual artists don't have discographies that compare, though. They each had times to shine, but they didn't sustain albums crossing the same span of time in terms of the music speaking for itself.
Sebastian Jenkins
Adrian Jenkins
Brayden Sullivan
These are all contenders. Everyone else can get
Josiah Reyes
Gavin Young
stay hatin
Joseph Rivera
Based
Joseph Bell
Does anyone else see a naked double headed man with double D tiddies?
Ryan Miller
Good pick. Not goat but Higher is goat.
Zachary Phillips
I used to think this album was just ok, but I came back to it earlier this year and it's actually fucking amazing
Robert Peterson
Camden Lewis
If by dated you mean the way a classic car looks dated, sure
Leo Smith
Yea Forums hates tpab but its good
Ethan Robinson
I like that new Freddie Gibbs
Isaac Mitchell
Tyler Russell
strong runner up in Whut Thee but I think this just beats it out in both songs and skits, nobody else comes close to redman skits in general
William Ross
Bladee - Eversince
LUM - Oblivion Access
Lil B - God's Father
Ryder Moore
This so much.
Nicholas Price
the way sleeves transitions to billy not really makes me cum
Adam Hughes
>operation doomsday
>not mm food or madvillainy
>college dropout
>not mdbtf or graduation
apart from that i agree
Owen Parker
Not enough respect for this masterpiece.
Nathaniel Bell
Nice netbanging lad
Pac was a thug and harder than most but you simply can't decide to claim piru or anything at 20-something and just become a gangster overnight, Pac tryna claim E/S M.O.B Piru was the worst mistake of his life and made his music after MATW kinda cringy (not that AEOM and Killuminaty weren't great albums)
Carter Gray
Based and tribepilled
Liam Cook
Legendary album
Asher Jenkins
Based, user. I love the tracks Dump the Clip and Frontline.
Liam Roberts
This finally fully clicked for me yesterday. I think I'd have a hard time arguing why this isn't the greatest hip hop album ever now. Chuck D was on a mission and the production is so detailed
Levi Rogers
Also MM>LET pilled
