What's the Worst Album Title to an Otherwise Dope Album

[doggfather]

2001 january the first is the starting of the 21. Century.

This is a fact.

What kind of teacher R U?!

I refer to Dr. Dre's album as Chronic 2001 nowadays in conversation when I used to just call it 2001.  I think that is the actual title of the album since you have the Chronic leaf before 2001 on the front cover.

It kinda reminds me of the 7 Day Theory album which I think should actually be referred to as Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, but its confusing because the spine of the album writes it all out as 'Makaveli the Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory' so people never really know what to call it.  It's the same with Snoop's No Limit Top Dogg album to an extent.

As for worst album titles, the self-titled ones always come across as a bit unimaginative - Cypress Hill, Mack 10, Spice 1 etc.

I never liked that they added the "No Limit" to the "Top Dogg" title...and the front cover always looked so 2nd rate to me with the features listed on it

its a great album though

Yeah this ranks up there as well, for worst titles from otherwise dope albums.

1.  2001
2.  No Limit Top Dogg  (Master P tried everything to ruin this album 💿 like the previous one—but Snoop deserved a lot of credit for rising above his No Limit label mates, and linking back up with his West Coast family to bring back the West Coast and start the second wave of the WC resurgence that all these forums like dubcc sprung from the West resurgence era.  Snoops Dogghouse was around in the dog days of 98’ when Kuruption! and Word On The Streetz were the main topics the first time I ever started using the internet regularly.
3.  Take a Look Over Your Shoulder

Best Album Titles

1.  7 Day Theory

Good point about the Killuminati often getting forgotten from 2pac’s 7 Day Theory album.  It’s true, people don’t really know what to call it—Makeveli or 7 Day Theory or what.  But the thing that bothered me the most was the many times I heard that DMX was the first artist to have two platinum albums in one year — just because Pac had the name change the journalists weren’t smart enough to connect the two dots.

But 7 Day Theory is actually the best album title in history because those early days of the internet were flooded with conspiracy theories about 2pac faking his death, and the real life Nicoli Macheveli supposedly faked his death, also 2pac recorded it in 7 days, he was shot on the 7th and died on the 13th which counted as 7 days—and there were so many theories surrounding the number “7” and that album title.

Really? You don’t know the story behind this or you just trolling

It's even funnier when people purposely say it backwards too.  My friends and I used to always say "Love that Efil For Zaggin album"!

I don't know why, but Warren G's second album title: "Take A Look Over Your Shoulder" always seemed weird to me.  I didn't like it, can't really put my finger on why, just seemed like it didn't fit the album theme.  There was no track on the album titled that, isn't really referenced in any of the other songs. 

On Eastside LB, the Twinz say "We on The Lookout, the latest hit from DJ Warren G"  and i know it just meant they are looking for Warren's next hit....but I always thought "THE LOOKOUT" would've been a better title.

“Young Fun” was a banger feat. Jayo Felony — and Warren spits:

Niccaz peepin their shoulder
In every single way/
No sweat, cause if I sweat it
I stay true to the game so I’m not gonna let it

…but anyway I get your point I’m adding it to the list

And he had a song called Transformers, which, the chorus goes "bustaz in disguise"...so I get the idea he was pushing like now he's gotta look over his shoulder because he's famous and bustaz and haters are coming after him.  But I don't really think that was the case.  Everyone seemed to like Warren when he was blowing up, no one dissed him or criticized him to my knowledge (other than Suge lol). 

Bone Thugz get a lot of flack for their constant songs about "haterz" and at least in their case it's somewhat warranted as they did have groups copying them, stealing their flow, hating on them....but I never got that feeling with Warren G.

DJ Quik, 2 entries for me:

First for bad album title "Rhythm-Al-Ism"  One of, if not, his best album, but that name.  It's probably a play off something from the 70's era, I've never been able to make the connection, such a weird name.

Then best album title, which hasn't been released yet, if ever, but "David vs. Goliath" I think is an awesome title for a DJ Quik album playing off his real name, David Blake.

Before I really understood anything about rap lyrics — I do remember wondering what material Bone was going to have left for a follow up to “East 1999”.

It just seemed like there was nothing they could come up with to top it.  So when they came with the theme of Art of War and that they were taking on haterz and biters (allegedly all those Chi-town groups like Crucial Conflict, Do Or Die, Twista) it sounded like their best chance to still keep their edge after all the success they had with “Crossroads.”

But yeah, you are right.  Not too many were really hatin on them or hatin on Warren or comin for their crown.  But it’s still a good strategy, because hiphop was a competitive sport in the golden age—so it was better than nothin

damn infinite

why u delete that entire entry about your teaching prowess over in the arab gulf?

Can we discuss 2Pacalypse Now. Like someone higher up at Interscope most likely a white man in his 50's trying to market this debut album

Right, once Bone had the Crossroads hit, they left all that occult type rap from E1999.  I think they were struggling to find things to rap about.  You can tell they lost Eazy's influence once he passed.  Eazy was into horror and all that crazy occult type stuff.  Made Bone unique.

Eh I actually liked that title.  I enjoyed the movie Apocalypse Now and thought it was a clever play on words.
