So I can make sure that I've listened to them all.
-
36 Chambers
The Infamous
Doggystle
Chronic
Straight Outta Compton
Cube's 1st 4 records
Tical/Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Big Pun: Capital Punishment
I mean if u like hip-hop at all, u should be considered a fan. Alot of these records would probably sound weak to someone younger.

^^great list.

But yeah youngstyers should listen to that stuff instead of the commercialised, corporate garbage being spewed from Mtv, BET, and so forth

Well I got love for commerical music too. But yeah, shit had me crazy when that kid ( I think either Bundy or Xander ) was sayin 36 Chambers was garbo too him.
^^great list.
listen to Purple Haze
I didn't like that album. I thought Cam was at his worst in fact. Killa Season was MUCH better imo.

That's what I'm saying. A lot of people think they are hip-hop fans because they like listening to the radio and downloading singles on their iPods. To truly be a fan you have to appreciate and understand the classic/other really good albums. Even if their are a couple you never felt.
Thanks peeps. Keep it coming.

i'm a youngster, and i love some of those on the list...granted i haven't gotten into any old school n.y shit at all, but i do plan on (eventually) listening 2 the catalogs of nas, biggy, mobb deep, wu-tang and so on..I consider doggy style the greatest album ever, for some reason (don't kill me) the chronic wasn't mind blowing 2 me (on 2 listens only, plan on giving it a few more 2 see if i can see it in the same light as some of y'all...i do think that album is more of a "had 2 be around 2 appreciate it" type of LP)..Straight Outta Compton is a defanite classic, and Cube is the greatest rapper of all time...I LOVE D.O.C.'s No One Dan Do It Better as well i might add

you can't consider yourself a hip hop fan if only you heard some albums. everyone around the world listens to all music genres. I think to be hip hop you just gotta realize what hip hop is about, be part of the revolutionary movement, part of the streets reality, part of the art of dance and graff, part of easterns wise lyrics, part of the wc landscape, part of the cash money life... Dunno, just listen what you feel like listening, usually is the same message but some can't rap it right ya digg?

Ur right about thr Chronic sounded a little dated to someone who wasn't really around to see the impact it made. Artists nowadays have access to so muh better equipment and technology as a whole has changed, so it's almost unfair to compare it to something nowadays. Chronic will remain a classic in hip-hoppers eyes forever imo, simply because of how it literally changed the game.
Check this shit, u r an OFFICIAL hip hop head if u know what I mean when I'm talking about the purple tape 8)

Only Built 4 Cuban Link, the purple cassette tape version.
I have heard Purple Haze quite a few times, I just really didn't like it, same as Come Home With Me. I was more impressed by Killa Season than any thing he has put out since Confessions of Fire.

At least on Kool Keith album.

I disagree.
To me, the heart of hip-hop is making your own style and not conforming to a preconceived image. And that means not embracing a canon of albums just because it's the accepted list of 'classics'.
Don't get me wrong: the majority of music I listen to is from my personal 'golden age' of 1991-1996. All the albums people here have listed are great, great records. But to suggest that someone coming up, say in their teens, is less of a hip-hop fan because they don't appreciate a 15 year old album is unfair.
Fact: there will be kids out there whose first hip-hop album was 'The Massacre'. And for them, that album will always be as important as, say, LL's 'Mama Said Knock You Out' is to me. I might not agree with them that it's a great or even decent album, but if 50's records inspire them and give them that rush that golden age MCs gave me, it's not my place to judge whether they're 'truly' hip-hop fans.
Just my thoughts. Peace.
