1. Nas - Illmatic
2. Dead Prez - Let's Get Free
3. Ras Kass - Soul On Ice
4. Xzibit - At the Speed of Light
5. Xzibit - 40 Dayz and 40 Nightz
6. Talib Kweli - Reflection Eternal (the one released in 2000)
7. Mos Def and Talib Kweli - Black Star
8. Rakim - Don't Sweat The Technique
9. Rakim - Paid In Full
10 Nas - God's Son
....I was judging this album on the "conscious vibe". So, for example, Nas God's Son album or or Xzibit's 40 Dayz and 40 Nightz album are both better than Soul On Ice, but Soul On Ice is maybe more "conscious" so I gave it a higher grade. Feel me?

Thanx Brian, I am familiar with all those artists...
I only had xzibit's man v's machine n wouldn't have termed him conscious... Ras Kass most definitely.... Love me some Dead Prez... Talib is magic... Never listened to Rakim but will check out.... Only know Nas' Ether n Mos Def is new to me too...
Will check out..
Cheers for the feedback....

Xzibit started off more like a conscious rapper in his earliest days, like his breakthrough single on At The Speed of Light "Papparazi" (calling out rappers who are only it for fortune and fame) and its follow up single "The Foundation" (guidance to his son) were both very conscious tracks.
Then on 40 Dayz and 40 Nights he has cuts like "Focus"—"Fast Friday straight to meditate and build hunger/ and focus/ on the days and times that approach us".
...After 40 Dayz and 40 Nightz he hooked up with Dre and Snoop to do "Bitch Please" and so the gangsta rap vibe started to influence his music more. He started doing stuff like "Get Your Walk On" which was like a tribute to Crip walkin. Restless may have been his best album but he was now making music that sounded more like gangsta rap and less like conscious hip-hop, same goes for Man vs. Machine.
btw... who is Brian? What does my name say? Does my name say Brian? Has it ever said "Brian"? Have I ever called myself "Brian" at the forum? Unless your goal is to disrespect me, please call me Infinite or Abdul-Infinite.

Ebony, I recommend that you stop listening to all rap n rnb...
You couldn't possible relate to it and I know you dontvwanna be like Iggy so sit down, shut up n be told... You stupid lil so n so....
Thanx to everyone for recommending as this was a rap related question on a rap website but I will no longer listen to rap, maybe no earthly music at all...
Maybe I'll go back to writing poetry and try to steer clear of ebonics and write about something I'm passionate about and never recite it and never post any of it on the internet and just start my own art collection of my own poetry and be happy with that......
