Greatest hip hop album of all time

[Idiopathic Joker]

I Cant Decide Which Is Better

 

[jek]

I actually like It Was Written more than Illmatic.

top to bottom I do too but I be catchin alotta flack for that. Thought I was the only one that think this

 

[BobbyDreyo]

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, RZA is the real genius.

 

[Stew]

Aquemini

Has everything every other album mentioned has plus some.......

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Black Star

 

[Weazel]

Fear of a Black Planet - Public Enemy.

or..

All Eyez on Me - 2Pac.

 

[ForeverMeah]

Fear of a Black Planet - Public Enemy.

or..

All Eyez on Me - 2Pac.

Meah says:

I'm going to have to stick to what I know...

All Eyez on Me!!!

 

[Age187]

Illmatic. There's still nothing like it.

 

[vadon757]

Best Album of all times is "Illmatic" honestly no other rap album has had more influence in HIPHOP!

 

[ForeverMeah]

Fugees - The Score

WHAT!!! Sleep if you want too!

 

[Age187]

Best Album of all times is "Illmatic" honestly no other rap album has had more influence in HIPHOP!

I actually wouldn't say that... Illmatic didn't have much influence on hip hop at all.

 

[weezyfgarbage]

Too close to call between Paid In Full and Illmatic. Reasonable Doubt, Ready to Die, 36 Chambers, and The Eminem Show are all contenders as well.

 

[Tony-Stark]

Cuban Linx

 

[BobOblah]

Illmatic.

then Aquemini

and Train of Thought

 

[ra-mes1]

Can't pick one....I rotate between Illmatic, The Low End Theory, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold our People Back, Aquemini, Paid in Full, Three Feet High and Rising (hard to beat for straight originality), Black Star, Enter the 36 Chambers (best hip hop work out album EVER), and the Score.

Sdie note: It was Written was better lyrically but Illmatic had better production--all star line-up.

 

[BobOblah]

and Ready to Die

 

[bankrupt baller]

why do people think illmatic changed hip hop so much?

Lord, listen to me.

God don't like ugly,

It was written.

Yo nas, your whole damn style is bitten.

(you sound like rakim, man)

You heard my melody,

Read about my life in the papers.

All my run ins with authorities(trick!),

Felonious capers (punk!)

Now you want to live my life.

A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK - PUBLIC ENEMY

REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE


BRING THE NOISE


NIGHT OF THE LIVING BASSHEADS


BLACK STEEL IN THE HOUR OF CHAOS


This album changed hip hop sonically and the BOMB SQUAD production provided the BLue print for NWA's Straight outta Compton. as noted when Cube left NWA he fly to new york to work with who?? The Bomb Squad and Public Enemys team to create the classic Amerikkkas Most wanted.. If NATION OF MILLIONS aint #1 or in your top 5 you know absolutely NOTHING about Hip Hop or you were born in the 90's and too young to know your history but Itd be like saying you love the NBA but didnt know who Dr J was!!!

 

[deadprez123]

Illmatic Or Cuban Linx

 

[vslyke]

How the fuck has no one mentioned Liquid Swords?! The only album that can fuck with that masterpiece is Ready to Die.
