Post your lists yall.....p'z
-
THAT is more or less THE list hahaha
-
I kinda mis-titled the topic. Perhaps I shoulda said "list YOUR best albums" of 90-2000, rather than "the" best albums. Oh, well, lol.
-
lol i'm too lazy to name all my favorite album from every year of the 90's plus there'd be like 20 in each year (cuz i'm just so damn eclectic 8) ) so i'll just single handedly name my favorite RAP record from every year, cuz i like some rock records better , oh well heres my list
90-amerikkkaz most wanted
91-Niggaz 4 Life
92-The Chronic
93-Doggystyle
94-at the time i woulda said that one coolio album (i was like 9 years old back in 94') but now it'd be either illmatic or Regulate ...the g funk era
95-Me Against the World
96-All Eyez on me
97-i don't have one but if i had to pick one i guess...wu forever or still standing by goodie mobb (i think they came in 97)
98-either 40 days and 40 nightz or the war disc
99-chronic 2001
2000-Stankonia
-
yo dogg , youforgot bout "da game is to be sold , not to be told" , how much would u put to it???
and tha eastsidaz went out in 2000 nawww ???
-slickk
-
in 98 i believe WC - The Shadiest One
-
dogg pound-dogg food 1995
-
Dogg Food is good, but I cant rank it up there with the likes of E.1999 Eternal, Liquid Swords, Me Against The World, or The Infamous, etc, all of which changed hip hop majorly....Id give Dogg Food a solid 4 though and probably shoulda had it on my list. I forgot about Goodie Mob's second album also. P'z
-
how could u forget
doggfood- 1995
bacdafucup- 1992
and all of cubes shit
death certificate, lethal injection, the predator and bow down???
-
you people forgot the two bombs
reasonable doubt -1996
capital punishment - 1998
for 2000 (weak year)i would settle with CNNs reunion album.
-
its a crime to leave DJ Quik off the list, all 5 of his albums are classics.
-
Dogg Food is better than all the albums u placed under 95 dawg...Argueably the 3rd best album ever...also you forgot Quik albums...
-
If you're going to have Top Dogg you've got to have Last Meal
Dogg Food = Classic
Good shit man, I agree with most of it apart from the two above
Safe
-
Dogg Food is better than all the albums u placed under 95 dawg...Argueably the 3rd best album ever...also you forgot Quik albums...
LMAO!!!!! Uh, no. Not even close. Dogg Food is good, but it would be a SIN to say its better than an album like Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, E.1999 Eternal, Me Against The World, or The Infamous. But hey, your entitled to your opinion. I STRONGLY disagree though.
-
i would definately rank dogg food up there with them cds you named, it's even better than some like the 2pac me against the world, that cd was good but not awesome, pac's best shit was yet to be released, i would rank dogg food about the same as e.1999, peace.

LOL! Better Than Pac's MATW!!! Lemme Guess The SSLP And MMLP Is Better Too...Dogg Food Was Nice Though...But Cuban Linx Is Better Too And Has Changed Hip Hop As Well As Pac's Joint...
-
Haha, Dogg Food is NOT better than Me Against The World, not even close. Nor is it better than E.1999 Eternal....Its a good album, but Me Against the World and E.1999 Eternal are just too groundbreaking.......Ill explain why.
Me Against was the album where Pac matured on, and really put out his deepest and most sentimental work ever. Though All Eyez On Me and Makaveli are great, Me Against The World is the album that pushed Pac over the top as a great MC. Few albums rival the emotion seen on Me Against The World. You can feel Pac's pain on that album, perhaps more so than on any of his other albums [except maybe Makaveli]. I actually like Makaveli better, but if it werent for Me Against The World, there might not have been a Makaveli. MATW was truly the album which made Pac into what he is today: a legend.
E.1999 Eternal. Few albums are as influential as this one. This album basically brought an entire new sound to hip hop, and people are STILL trying to duplicate today, but with no success. Had this album not been released, midwest hip hop might still be underground today. This album put an entire region on the map. Dogg Food, like I said before, is a good album, but its nowhere near the caliber E.1999 Eternal is.

yo hellrazor wassup foo..its ashtray from y2hiphop.com
Hey wassup man. Damn, I didnt know you was a hardcore west coast fan, lol......
-
i am...dont you always see me postin shit about Pac and Cube...they the only motherfuckers i talk about on that board LOL...and maybe Nas and Jigga...
-
are you talking about the production of e. 1999, cuz both dogg food and bone's album are g-funk or are you talking about the "dark side" they had on it?
-
"Dogg Food" is in the top 5 albums of all time..."Me Against the World" is not even a classic....I laugh at your coments....Maybe "Only Built For Cuban Linx" and "E 1999" are up with it...But "Dogg Food" is a classic...ODB and "Me Against the Worl" weren't...
-
Me Against The World is definitely a classic
so is Dogg Food
so is E 1999
there i solved your argument ;)
-
I say "Mea Against the World" is a near classic 4.5...Not 5
-
"Dogg Food" is in the top 5 albums of all time..."Me Against the World" is not even a classic....I laugh at your coments....Maybe "Only Built For Cuban Linx" and "E 1999" are up with it...But "Dogg Food" is a classic...ODB and "Me Against the Worl" weren't...
LOL! i laugh at your comments..top 5 albums? LOL! what impact did dogg food have on the hip hop nation? other than it sounding good? its a 4.5 at the most...
there is more to a CLASSIC album then just beats and rhymes...
hellrazor already stated the impact of MATW...
well i guess its all opinionative but more ppl think MATW is a CLASSIC than Dogg Food...MATW is a certified CLASSIC...even those east coast dick riders at the SOURCE call it a MASTERPIECE...i aint heard shit about Dogg Food...
top 5 i dont think so...
Ready to die
illmatic
36 chambers
MATW or 7DT
southernplayalisticadiliac
cuban linx
chronic
doggystyle
and many more above it
-
True that, Ashtray.
Me Against The World is alwayz gonna have great rotation in my stereo. Dogg Food, while good, doesnt get as strong of rotation as Me Against The World. What songs on Dogg Food can fuck with So Many Tears, Lord Knows, Young Niggaz, Fuck The World, etc etc?? There is indeed more to an classic than beats and rhymes. I judge an album by those two things, as well as overall chemistry, concept, impact/influence, solidity, and cohesion. Me Against The World is at the top in almost all of those categories, and ive stated why its a classic already. Dogg Food has alot of good tracks, but it didnt really have a huge impact on hip hop the way an album like 36 Chambers, Southernplayalistic, The Chronic, or Creepin On Ah Come Up did.
-
ok...me against the world is jolly and all, but CUBAN LINX HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH X 4.5
but for real, dogg food is some of the best shit to ever hear my ear drums, its up there with chronic, doggystyle and all eyez on me (PACS BEST ALBUM!) as the top 4 death row albums ever.....ok westcoast veteran, dogg food didnt have any impact in the rap game? what impact did these so called classics have?
Doggystyle?? all it was was a continuation of chronic except not as emotional or dark
me against the world? what did that ad to the game?
cuban linx-again hahahaha at best a 3.5, and not just to me, alot of people dont think this shit is great
odb-lol, i was talking to big jake about this, he is funny, and entertaining, maybe a little bit more talented version of bizare
there are so many more
chronic
ready to die
illimatic
southernp...........
those are prolly the only 4 albums that totally changed the game single handedly...the rest that changed it, linked off thesee..
now predator by ice cube is kinda there..but its hard to decide
-
So Much Style, your last post is so wrong I dont even know where to begin. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx not influential??? Son, I dont think you know one tenth of the influence that album really had. Cuban Linx was the album that basically started the mafiaso/don type shit, and it was a concept album about the drug traffic in America today, the first album of its kind. Im sorry, but this album is 3259870932963092 x more influential than Dogg Food. Other albums that had a bigger impact than Dogg Food did:
36 Chambers
E.1999 Eternal
Creepin On Ah Come Up
Southernplayalistic
ATLiens
All Eyez On Me
The Chronic
Doggystyle
Ready To Die
Liquid Swords
Illmatic
Stankonia
The Infamous
Midnight Marauders
Dare Iz A Darkside
And thats just a FEW......
-
Also, if you wanna know what ME Against The World did for the game, check out my explanation on page 1 of this thread.
-
Lets take a vote on the board to see what is a better album..."Dogg Food" or "Built For Cuban Linx"...
-
Thats kinda unfair, cuz this is a westcoast board. Of course Dogg Food is gonna win here. Lets go to a "general" hip hop board and see which one wins. Anyway, I vote for Cuban Linx.
-
By "General Board" do u mean "Eastcoast Dickriders" board?
-
No, I mean a board that isnt biased towards either coast. A middle ground, cuz here, Dogg Food has homecourt advantage, just like Cuban Linx would on a east coast board. But on a middle board, im still confindent most heads would say Cuban Linx is a better album than Dogg Food.
-
oh my god...i KNOW y'aoll aint tryin to say Dogg Food is better than only built 4 cuban links?!
somebody back me up here, those 2 albums cant be compareed, they are on TOTALLY different levels
both are classic material but cuban links is one of the best hip hop albums ever made, if you say dogg food is better then your either deaf of you havent heard only built...
sorry but i had to get that off my chest
dogg food CAN NOT be compared to only built 4 cuban links.
-
I said above that they were both classics, but i prefer "Dogg Food" over "Only built..."
I just like it better, doesn't mean i belive it's better...
Both are 5/5...
-
Common - Resurrection - 94 - 5 mics classic

MATW outcomes : Ja Rule "I Cry" and DMX "Slippin" alot of rappers tryin to copy the formula of throwing sentimental raps of raw EMOTION with thug joints. made Pac a legend. everyone makin songs about they Mama after the classic joint "Dear Mama"..plus all the shit hellrazor threw in earlier...
Cuban Linx outcomes : mafioso/don shit...aliases in hip hop eg. Tony Starks = Ghostface and ppl copy it eg. Makaveli = Pac/Frank White = BIG
Doggstyle/Chronic outcomes : everyone even suburban peeps sported FLANNEL Shirts, chucks, and khaki's...everyone was on Snoop's dick...East Coast rappers started dippin' in Lo-Lo's in their videos...
-
I don't know where anyone gets at saying that me against the world isn't classic. You guys may think I'm crazy but I think it's be then 7 day theory and I think it's his second best album behind all eyez on me. (of course)
Cuban linx is a hell of alot better then dogg food. (PERIOD)
