What's Ya Favourite Rap Album?

**soopaman** · 04-01-2003, 06:55 AM

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.

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...

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

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!!

Am currently downloading The Roots-Things Fall Apart and Edan-Primitive Plus,so maybe my favourite might change in the near future.
