best album of all time?

ON RASING HELL : Run-DMC's 1986 rap masterpiece, Raising Hell, storms out of the musical gate. One of the albums that defined the transition from the old school to the new school, with its heavy rhyme sequences layered on top of drum-machine beats, and an assortment of pulse-quickening record stabs thrown in for good measure, it's relentless. The late-'80s lyricism of MCs Run and DMC is not as complex as that of today's microphone mathematicians, but that was never the point--what they lack in finesse, they more than make up in intensity, authority, and flat-out lung power. The fact that almost every line of "Peter Piper" has become the hook of another hip-hop song is a testament to the power of these originals (the "not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good" line alone has been used in countless turntablist routines).

all eyez on me

[Paul]

MF Doom - Operation Doomsday
i fucking hate that guy. he just raps nonsense for white kids from the suburbs to overanalyze and feel misunderstood. his flow sounds like the laziest most annoying shit ever and he wears a mask . real cool guy.

lol


i cant choose 1, being the fact my three fav albums are not on the list

dogg food, temples of boom and east 1999

i voted for liquid swords

[Lunatic]

I guess you have to be around at the time of the albums to see the impact they had. I was far to young when snoop's doggystyle came out & same with dre's chronic. So judging just music wise, Doggystyle (for me at least) blows it out the water

I voted for it

[NotoriousTDA]

Dr. Dre's 2001. That cd will never get old, no matter how many times i play it

[white Boy]

led zeppelin IV

[devil_may_care]

Best = Illmatic
Favourite = The Chronic or 2001

[Elevz]

Pffft. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue?

[Dubz]

[Layeth THe Smacketh Down]

My vote was for The Chronic.  Amerikkas Most Wanted by Ice Cube is a close second.  These albums came out almost two decades ago and they still shit on anything that comes out now.

I voted for The Blueprint, this album is pure uncut Hip Hop, it's real soulful but with a dope east coast feel, good list tho, there was a lot of dope albums on that list that I didn't think you would include +1, as far as second best....it's a toss up between Aquemini and 2001

[Wessia4LiaNia Chieee Chieee]

I was deciding between The Chronic and All Eyez On Me, but I chose the 2nd

[KURUPTION-81]
