I think thats one of the qualitys todays albums almost never have. Back in the days there used to be a certain "quality control" where you didn't just put every song you had on your album, but chose the best songs to make an album enjoyable from the first track to the last. Like I said nowdays you just don't see those albums anymore where every song is a 5/5 track or even an "only good" track, but instead you often get a couple of good songs and a bunch of fillers. So I ask you to name these albums which you think are without weak/filler songs and that you can still bumo from beginning to end. Maybe some of y'all also get reminded of some good old albums you could bump again.

South Central Cartel - All Day Everyday

I've been meaning to check out that South Central album for years, anyway here's my list of albums you can bump front to back without skipping...
2pac - All Eyez On Me ...pretty remarkable as this is a double album with no filler.
2pac - Me Against the World, 7 Day Theory
Warren G - Regulate - G Funk Era
Twinz - Conversation
Warren G - Take A Look Over Your Shoulder
The Show Soundtrack
Dogg Pound - Dogg Food ...interesting that they actually planned to release Rage, but Daz and Kurupt were one fire at the time and couldn't be denied
Nas - Illmatic ...short album only 9 songs but every one is classic
Eminem - Slim ShadyLP, MMLP, Eminem Show, D12 Devil's Night ...Em was on fire as he put out 4 st8 classics with no filler
Ras Kass - Soul On Ice ...less is more. The beats on this were simple, and sometimes that is better for a lyricist who is really painting pictures with words and telling stories
Nas - Lost Tapes ...same as Soul On Ice.. less is more, simple beats and great lyrics, telling stories, anecdotes, thoughts, reflections. I'm not even saying this album is classic, I'm just saying it has no filler
Outkast - ATLiens ...first conscious type album I ever listened to, took my mind to a different planet in late summer 96
Crucial Conflict - Final Tic ...novelty album, they rode the rodeo gimmick all the way to gold, nearly every song has the ill rodeo vibe, and the couple that don't are still listenable
...alot of albums I'm forgetting but that's it for now

All Eyez On Me has no filler ???
I don't think so, a double album without filler is by the way something i've never heard.

If youre just askin for one song, the most filler track on there is without a doubt "Whatz Ya Phone #"
Especially with that long ass conversation at the end which takes the most time of the song.

Syke is great with Pac, but I didn't think he could hold his own.. but maybe I will check that one out. And that Coolio album was kind of looked at as a pop album but it was really a classic hip-hop album, from a very respected emcee... Tracks like "I Remember" and "Mama I'm In Love With A Gangsta" I still bump to this day.

Nas - Illmatic
Twista - Adrenaline Rush
Mayer Hawthorne - How Do You Do

All these albums, any many more i cant think of right now probably, i can play front to back. I love these albums you can just put on and listen to the whole thing. Gets more and more seldom these days.
All of the songs aint "the greatest song ever" but if they fits the album they dont need to be. As long as the album flows on good.

I agree with most of the ones that have already been mentioned, here's more. Some are obviously more classic than others but all of them are bumpable straight through imo. It's cool to hear Coolio's It takes a Thief mentioned, it was dope when it came out and still is, front to back.

One album that without a doubt and 100% surely belongs on this list is "Doggystyle". I listened to this album like a 100 times and it never gets old, every single track is a fuckin masterpiece, the sequencing of the tracks is perfect and therefore its definetely on this list. Another album i would say belongs on here is "The Chronic", also listened to that album today during drivng, enjoyed every track. And last but not least the "Murder Was The Case" OST (which i also listened to today by the way ^^ First The Chronic, than Doggystyle and then Murder Was The Case. Pretty flawless music "playlist" 8) ;D)

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On?
One of the greatest solo LP's of all time
But people acting like good albums don't exist. Every CD I've got I listen through from start to finish (250-300 albums)
Yeah I'm the same - I'm in the habit of just sticking a CD into my system and just letting it play through front to back.
I find some albums lend themselves to a full-on play and can't just be dipped into as and when you feel like it - I'm talking about albums such as 'Good Kid MAAD City', 'Donuts' and 'Madvillainy' where there's sort of a story going on within the music and it demands to be listened to from beginning to end. And then there are EPs like '7 Days of Funk' and 'Creepin On Ah Come Up' where, owing to the short length, it's easy to listen the whole way through.
Other albums that I find myself listening to often from beginning to end include Frank Ocean's 'Channel Orange', Scarface's 'The Diary', Suga Free's 'Street Gospel' and WC's 'The Shadiest One'. Of course there are a ton of others, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind.

how does not one person mention The Chronic? Eazy-E 51/50 home for the sick? NWA Niggaz4life? another less known album is BAD-N-Fluenz and Get in where you fit in by Short Dog may be one of the most slept on albums ever. The Oakland funk on that cd is insane!
