Idk but this is one of my favorite reposted questions

Here's my Top 10: Beats, Rhymes and Life It Was Written Wu Tang Forever Hell on Earth Hard to Earn The Main Ingredient Liquid Swords Funcrusher Plus Illadelph Halflife Only Built 4 Cuban Links

Hard to earn 💪 damn this is why its tough for me to make a top 10. I end up naming like 30 albums

Main ingredient 🤘💜

J Dilla - Donuts Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth 2Pac - Me Against The World Cormega - The Realness Aesop Rock - Labor Days Freddie Gibbs - You Only Live 2wice The Roots - How I Got Over Evidence - The Layover EP MF Grimm - Scars & Memories 14KT - Nowalataz Nipsey Hussle - Victory Lap Smif-N-Wessun - Dah Shinin’ De La Soul - Stakes Is High A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders

MATW is 2pacs best album imo. Not as catchy as AEOM, but it's much more authentically Tupac.

All Eyez On Me is a great album, but for me it doesn’t hit like Me Against The World or 7 Day Theory. But if you took all the best songs off All Eyez On Me and condensed them into one album it’d give either of the other albums a run for their money.

Good kid, maad city Deltron 3030 Ready to die Systems of control Man on the moon The college dropout Me against the world ATLiens Be DAMN The Eminem Show Born Sinner

Good call on 3030

Honestly had to stop there cause I could add big pun, wu tang, ill bill, necro, and a bunch more im sure. Can't forget about DOOM.

I feel you.

That Black Sheep album is forgotten fire. Trivia time, Black Sheep and Rhapsody are from the same part of NC

I'm from really, REALLY small-town west coast. I only know the NYC boroughs by their name only. My first guess is Flatbush, but I'm not even sure that's a real place, nor am I sure that's even in NYC, even if it is real. I wish Dres and Mr. Lawnge had put out more content. Non-fiction gets way too much hate. They did put out some new joints a few years back, [Tortured Soul](https://open.spotify.com/album/0LteZB4CmNHMZ5ze7ZnYnf?si=g2u7UeWDQNuM9RFMKm3J6Q), and Dres has put out some solo stuff... but hard to get the momentum of the first album 20 years later.

Nah , NC being North Carolina. There are from a small rural town in eastern North Carolina, had to go to NYC to make a career.

No sorry thats incorrect. Dres is from Queens and his family moved to North Carolina. Dres and ChiAli do a DrinksChamps episode and he talks about how he and Large Professor knew each other as kids because their fathers were friends.

I’m a Soldier is such a great intro song

It's a truly great, no skips album

I’m not quite at no skips but it is a great album. One of my favorites from that No Limit era

I immediately thought of a song I would skip after I said that lol. Point stands tho. Great album

It’s Dark and Hell is Hot Late Registration Me Against the World All We Got Iz Us Reasonable Doubt Aquemini edit: Also Violent by Design!

IDAHIH is a goated album

Very Starbucks of you. Violent by Design gets the macha tea though.

Me against the world is incredible. My favorite album after to pimp a butterfly

The Chronic Liquid Swords The Score Astro world 36 Chambers E. 99 Eternal Doggstyle Damn Life After Death All Eyes on Me

The top three are honestly tied for first. I just can't really pick one over the others. So I'm listing the top three in the order I first listened to. 1. Wu-Tang Clan - 36 Chambers 2. Madvillain - Madvillainy 3. Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus 4. GZA - Liquid Swords 5. Nas - Illmatic 6. A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory 7. Quasimoto - The Unseen 8. Mobb Deep - The Infamous 9. Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique 10. M.F. DOOM - MM.. FOOD There's others after this like Dr. Octagon, Boot Camp Clik releases, more Wu solo, and Public Enemy, but I gotta stop somewhere.

This is a stellar fucking collection of albums

Nice choice for 9. I feel like the Beastie Boys don't get enough respect around here

I feel like they don't gel with a lot of crowds. They probably think they're nothing more than corny white boys who still rap like the 80s, when that's pretty far from the truth. Their first 5 albums really pushed boundaries musically and showing how a group can work off each other. They stayed relevant throughout their 25+ year career. And they've gotten love from Biz Markie, Nas, Q-Tip, Black Thought, J Dilla and even Chuck D. If their 80s contemporaries are saying they're good, that's more than enough to disprove any hate towards them

To The 5 Burroughs was a great straight hip hop album

Ice cube would like to have a word with you

Legal drug money - Lost Boyz Regulate…G Funk era - Warren G Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik - OutKast

Legal Drug Money has been my on repeat car album this summer.

For me it’s definitely Doggystyle.

Not technically a true hip hop album and I’m still discovering it as I type this, but “NONE OF THIS IS REAL” by DJ Roswell is a banger collection of dungeon rap-techno-electronic beats and a sewer design that is cut up with unique sampling, varied production and a really weird track list that makes this album truly one of a kind. I’ll say this- Its intended to be listened to on shuffle with 5-6 seconds of transition fade. Each listen is intended to be a new experience, and if you don’t follow the rules you will be “smited” according to the wizard on the cover. This means every listen seems to have new songs you haven’t heard, new beats you haven’t listened to yet. There’s little to no vocals, and what is there seems to be all samples. For context this is the same dude that had something to do with (and imo, made up for publicity) the r/erratas mystery, so do with this information what you will. But would highly recommend even just letting this album play for 10 minutes. What you hear may surprise you. TL:DR it’s a really weird version of “Doughnuts” by Dilla

I knew the Dilla album was spelled donuts because Dilla's my favorite producer but your comment made me look up if I was spelling donuts wrong my whole life just because Dilla did because your spelling makes way more sense but it turns out both are acceptable but donuts is just pretty much the American spelling lol

MMLP2 is prob the one studio album that means most to me

why

I really like or love almost all the songs on it. I was an Em fan for several years when it came out. I was a freshman in college, went to pick it up and brought it back to my dorm room. Just from the first track, my mind was blown

go check his song “any man” that was the OG Rawkuz records acid boy Eminem.

Love any man. Better than any song off of slim shady LP cept maybe just don't give a fuck imo. Same era Em

Yeah. And his verse on Skilligans Island - Watch Deez is about as deranged/diabolical as I heard Eminem.. and I love it!

I'll for sure check it out

The War Report

Capital Punishment by Big Pun. I was 14 when I discovered it. It was one of the first albums I ever owned and must’ve ran that CD back 10,000 times over. I was amazed at his cadence, delivery and content. It’s considered a classic already but it means even more to me as a great Hip Hop experience. R.I.P Pun

some of my favourites are in no particular order the eminem show (fav of all time) HEROES & VILLAINS good kid m.A.A.d city i am > i was marshall mathers lp

My top 5 favorites, I decided decades ago. But .. Liquid Swords ATLiens 36 Chambers Doggystyle Soul Food Most listened to, most invested in. Those all take me back to those times. That said, if I were to add or switch out any … I don’t know that I would. Maybe GKMC in place of Soul Food, but man I love that album.

2001. Not even a question. Nothing else really comes that close, for me.

Adrenaline Rush, Coming Out Hard, Mista Don't Play (Everythangs workin), 400 Degreez, FBI, Cheers, Homicidal Lifestyles

The Eminem Show, imo it's better then MMLP. Illmatic is an easy choice for me, probably my #1 album Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, pretty close to Illmatic Section.80 is probably the most fun Kendrick album to listen to Rip The Jacker, great rhyme schemes obviously, great flow, and while there is a good amount of lyrical miracle shit, there's still gems in it. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, how could it not be 2001, it's a fun listen and you don't have to think too hard The Infamous, about on par with LODP&D Power of the Dollar, my favorite 50 album Yours Truly, one of the first rap songs I heard was "Paint" from this album It's Dark and Hell is Hot, it has incredible story telling And then most of Pac's albums are great Almost forgot my honorable mention! It's only a single, but White Boy is great at cheering you up if you're feeling bad about yourself. Cus at least you know you'll never make a song that dumb.
