What's Ya Favourite Rap Album?

[soopaman]

I was looking back over a few posts and i saw that "Z" had suggested posting favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Albums. Good idea, I'll get the ball rolling:

Illmatic by Nas

Primative Plus by Edan

Ready To Die by Notorious B.I.G

Like Water For Chocolate by Common

Blackstar by Mos Def + Talib Kweli

Arrythmia by The Anti-Pop Consortium

Internal Affairs by Pharoahe Monch

It Takes A Nation Of Millions by Public Enemy

Enter The Wu-Tang 36 Chambers by Wu-Tang Clan

Supreme Clientele by Ghostface Killah

They are all well worth a listen.

:D

[Icebound]

kris kross
vanilla ice
dazey dukes
mc hammer
snow
arsenio hall
shaq, any athlete rapping for that matter

... seriously

[Icebound]

:P - April Fool's!

[Skillian]

Soopaman, that's a great list - nice to see some real hip hop fans on here. Here's a little list but I'm sure I'm missing out a load I shouldn't.

Mobb Deep - The Infamous
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
Ghostface Killa - Supreme Clientele
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang
Jedi Mind Tricks - Violent By Design
Afu-Ra - Body Of The Life Force
Nas - Illmatic
2Pac - All Eyez On Me
Redman - Muddy Waters
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Big L - The Big Picture
Roots Manuva - Brand New Second Hand (and Run Come Save Me)
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Mos Def & Talib Kweli - Black Star
Soundbombing Vol. 2
Common - Like Water For Chocolate
7L & Esoteric - Dangerous Connection

Could be plenty more though, but if I was allowed to listen to nothing else for a year I'd be happy.

edit: I've never heard that Edan - Primitive Plus, so I'm going on the hunt for it now...

neutride and oxide - 2 stepz ahead

I can't believe nobody has suggested De La souls "3 Feet High & Rising"
surely one of the best? :D

[N£MO]

My favouite older album is Run DMC-Raising Hell,listened to it soooo much when i was a kid.

Lately i would say J-Zone-Pimps Don't Pay Taxes,a quality album!! ;)

Your provoking him disenchanted.

Why are you so quick to resort to violence to solve your problems? Yeah I can agree that I was provoking, but this is a typical response you can expect from a lot of unintelligent people that listen to rap music if they don't agree with something that you have to say. "Most" use insults instead of debating. I can argue that "most" people that listen to rap music are not as intelligent as those who do not. Try to find a rap song that does not mention "niggas", "40's", "bitches", "weed", or "money". Another thing I can't stand is all this slang that goes along with it... grill, honey, bling bling, etc etc etc
Also, from what I've seen is people that listen to rap music have very limited musical tastes, wait I just said "rap" and "musical" in the same sentence. I was just in a chat room and here is a response from some one who likes rap on the topic of rock music. "Rock music sucks because all they do is kill themselves" right... listen to rock music and you'll end up commiting suicide.

yo disenchanted just by saying that rap is all about violence sex and cursing is a really bad generalization. just because people hear about songs like "f the police" they assume all rap is that. all people who listen to rap also aren&#39;t stupid - i listen to rap religiously and i&#39;m at a very good college.

ok, groups that don&#39;t dwell on 40&#39;s, bitches, weed, ect....hmmm, black star, de la soul, arrested development, will.i.am.. and as far as peoples comments, there are stupid people no matter what board or block you are on. it&#39;s a little closed minded to just say all of something sucks just because of a few examples you have heard. i would not like rock music if i was to judge it on groups like the meatmen (i.e. cripple children suck), el duce (i.e. butt rapin&#39; man, suck and fuck and cook and clean). if i was to judge based on groups such as these, i would assume they have a serious aryan wanna-be complex going on. and slang? do you speak proper english at all times? i really don&#39;t think so.

[soopaman]

Obtained a copy of THINGS FALL APART by THE ROOTS the other day. I&#39;m currently filling in a few blanks in the collection so this was a welcome addition. It is pure, fuc king 100% Hip-Hop. Classic album. I had a couple of the tunes but the whole album is fanfuckintastic&#33;&#33; Get it NOW and you&#39;ll be happy for the next few days. ;)

Since when was this post a Metallica thread?? If it ain&#39;t Hip-Hop DON&#39;T POST IT HERE&#33;&#33;&#33;

[Rocktron]

My favorite RAP album sits in my closet. It was a gift.. and it is still wrapped&#33; :D

[nahan]

Talib is the man Big L album rocks the show
Lost boyz legal drug money and love peace and nappiness

Gangstar full clip

[N£MO]

Talib is a quality rapper.

Borrowed a great cd from my mate the other day and i got to say it is wicked&#33;&#33;
It&#39;s called &#39;Best Of London Posse-Gangster Chronicle&#39;,a good mix of hip hop with a touch of ragga.
I am sharing it on soulseek now for anyone who wants to grab a copy. ;)

[nahan]

Hey dissenchanted you need to find something to do with yourself besides repeat your useless messages.

What do you listen to ? Enlighten us with your profound musical tastes
of LImp biscut and rob zombie maroline manson or some other cross gender
bendin homo erotic sounds that penetrait your mind and sphincter.

I dont visit your forums and attemp to nock the dick that your about
to put in your mouth,I keep away because people like you digust me.

BEAT IT YOU WASTE OF SKIN

[soopaman]

The Roots - Come Alive. The best live Hip-Hop album I think I&#39;ve ever heard. Kicking myself for not picking it up years ago. D&#39;OH&#33;&#33; Jill Scott has such a sweet voice (Gonna download her album now) and it compliments Black Thought&#39;s rapping really well.

;)

[TRshady]

I reckon I could live in prison if all I had was, tupac&#39;s greatest hits (2cd&#39;s) and the "marshall mathers LP". rap at it&#39;s best. Chronic 2001 is also amazing. I love 50&#39;s but I think I&#39;ll think different of it in a year or two.

[brotherdoobie]

I have one thst hasn&#39;t been mentined.
Paul&#39;s Boutique by the Beastie Boy&#39;s.

There has been some excellent choices mentioned&#33; :D



Peace brotherdoobie
