Pun had one hot album which might be better than murda muzik so those two are interchangeable. A case can be made for either one. The production on CP isn't touching the infamous and hell on earths production. And P in his prime is quite possibly a top 5 emcee of all time. As good as lyricist Pun was, very few could paint pictures with lyrics the way P did when he was a dope. the Infamous is an all time hip hop classic. Stop trying to downplay that. "Rock you in the face stab your brain with your nose bone " >>> half ya list.
-
the infamous has some classics
eye 4 an eye, survival of the fittest (and 2) etc.
but Big Pun SHITS ON mobb deep and their 6-out-of-10 lyrical skills. i love mobb deep cuz they still run with Majesty from the Live Squad (and ofcourse i helped run live-squad.com) but some people really over-rate them
I'm hard to talk to, if you live I probably faught you stalked you
where you walked to at night, caught you then tried to extort you
New York niggaz is trigger happy, got Pataki scared
This town ain't big enough for both of us AND I AIN'T GOIN NOWHERE
There it is, plain and simple like Jigga my game is mental
While slow niggaz better know I blow their brains out they temples
I'm into black magical torture romantic dramatical author
Compatible with the average New Yorker
A fast talker, like Tony when he gassed Sosa
The masked enforcer, out for the cash and the cho-cha
Smash the coca, bottle it up watch the fiends gobble it up
If I roll up, you do what? Swallow the stuff
I don't give a fuck anymore, I'm only twenty-four years old
and I've already broken every law
I'm horrorcore, this is for the heads
Runnin up in your crib, knot if you still hot in under the bed

LMFAO @ P in his prime being 6/10 LMFAO. You officially have NO CREDIBILITY. The infamous having a few classics LMFAO. This calls for a spin off thread.... the Infamous vs Capital Punishment.
-
peep those lyrics and tell me P and his simple rhymes can compare
P is all about his voice and flow...but listen to Eye 4 an Eye and hear NAS rap...that's lyrical skill
-
P and his simple rhymes... you have ZERO credibility now. And a lot more goes along with being a good rapper than being a good lyricist which P was. And P was better in those areas than Pun
Yo
My empire strikes with the strength of poisonous snakes
My entire unit loaded up with snake niggas that hire stakes
We pull off a high stakes, great escapes, expand, shift team downstate
Dreams are growing over and my son'll live great
Little man I'm plannin to enhance your mindstate
The rebirth, a nigga who lived an ill life
The one before me was of an even more trife
My understandin, I'll raise you with precise plannin
and put you on to the whole game of this planet
But I gotta survive in order to follow thru plans to live lot-o
Me and my lil' getgo, any man tryin to stop us he get wet-o
He couldn't withstand the snake bite, there is no hanky
Don't you put your hands too close and try to approach
I won't snap at you I'm goin for throats
and when you feel my bite 'cha sing high notes
I peeped you from deep and then you got cut throats
My formulae-I live life do or die
Stare into the eyes of a deep wiseguy
Prodigy turnin niggas to protoges
My protege I advise ya ass to make way
Make way...for fully-auto gun spray
You're small prey, I'll easily bait and trap yea
This man is half mad scientist-half sane
Creative rhyme labryinth like poisonous cannabis
Here take a toke of this daily rare roackalist
Overpower y'all, tiny noise like locust
Like sunlight thru a magnifying glass I'll focus em
Burn a hole straight thru ya brain and leave ya open (Oh shit!)
and let the venom soak in
You start sweatin and goin thru convulsions from dope shit I write
Leavin niggas stuck, I let spit
Trapped up in a web of a nigga that's sick
I'll wrap you up in cocoon, you caught up in the midst
As dangerous as risky business fuckin with this
Contender number one I put you on top of the list
You're the best challenger so far I'll give you this
But peep this (what?) fatal shots that soloplex
Man down, now who dares to go next?
Like General Monkmonk orders to chop necks
I send a message to my whole clique to bomb shit
Atomic, no time for calm shit
We hyperactive and it's time for Vietnam bit
Ya whole alliance gets single handedly bomb-ded
Take heed to the apostle's warning
Word up!
Yea P wasn't a good lyricist ::)

-
So your one of those "old people" who are stuck listening to what they grew up to and can't adapt to music changing.It happens.
-
native tongues wern't bougie pussies
tribe ain't from the suburbs, there from a working class area in south jamaica, queens and they were street brothers aswell, you can work out the rest
de la are from the suburbs of long island new york, but they wern't no slouches neither, they have been known to slap up niggas that were out of line too, trust
you get the drift
i forgot about das efx-hold it down album
-
ok, thats fine and everyone is entilted to there opinon, thats cool, but i wern't saying de la were hardcore, just they ain't bougie pussies
but i personally can't listen to jungle brothers tunes wit africa bam bam on it, did you know he's a fag now, i mean, cross dressing out of the closet fagged out faggot, its crazy, until someone says those pictures of him are photo shopped i can't listen to him anymore
its sad, i thought he was for the cause, a revolutionary faggot, what the fuck is next, the world is fucked up right now, its crazy, thats some fucking sad shit, yes it is
-
The fact you said new York fell off and only rate illmatic 03.5 is odd as its widely considered the greatest hip hop album ever made.And you don't even have it in your top 20.That's old man sydrome.

no you are wrong because you are stuck in your era aka 90's . chad vader has good taste & at least respects were most of the music came from. without the 80's rappers there would be no 90's rappers . also just because you did not groww up on it & were too young to understand the 80's rap does not mean that is not just as good as those 90's classic . that is just you being a baised prick with a closemind the old school built this. not the 90's. the only thing chad vader did wrong was put queen latifah on the list because she is from jersey not new york .
-
I'm not stuck in any era.I still buy albums that come out today and I'm a fan of southern music.Just because they paved the way doesn't make it better music.The lyrics and production were far better in the 90s then the 80s.That's a fact.Doesn't mean I don't listen to music from the 80s because I do.Its just classic old man sydrome.

there is not such thing as old man sydrome &. just baised closeminded pricks who think there is . see your opinion even says you stuck in the 90's by saying lyrics and production were far better in the 90s then the 80s & because they paved the way doesn't make it better music.. this just proves you are stuck in 90's realize the original old school better then any new school because without them their would be nothing at for you listen to . without rakim there would be no nas. the original school is always the best not new school. anybody who uses the old man sydrome has no real respect at all .

wild style ost?
did you look for the 20 oldest albums you could find from new york?
I grew up on those albums ;) Born in 71,got into Hip Hop (music) in late 83 ;)
Any problems with that?
and yeah check the Wild Style movie and the OST.... ;) (CLASSIC!!!!)
Quiz;
Can you recognize who sampled parts from this clip;? (clip from the Wild Style movie,they revealed the Nas part but who sampled the beat?)
http://www.youtube.com/v/ugQuetI2uvM&hl=en&fs=1
Know Your Ledge ;)
We said your favorite of all time not of the 80s Chad LOL
it's my favorites... ;)
yeah i didn't mean to come across as hating, i can just think of 10 other albums i prefer over that album is all
sure you can,but you ain't me ;)
I (you) can pretty much see when cats got into Hip Hop trough their lists (and stopped caring :P)
Saw that you mentioned ATCQ.... they got classics,but personally I hate them (and rest of the suburban ass Native Tongues)
For some reason I could not get into 90´s NYC sound.
I tried at the time,but nah..... I called it quits around "Breaking Atoms" (Main Source) and "Stunts,Blunts and Hip Hop" (DiamonD)
(thank god that the other regions picked up or else I would probably have stopped listening to Hip Hop).
I ain't ignorant,so I peep new shit,but can't say there's much that catch my ear :-[
You don't rank illmatic
It's a classic,but only a 3.5 album in MY book ;)
or 36 chambers
again a classic,but only a 3.5 in MY book ;)
or ready to die in your top 20 from new York?
That's just fucking bizarre
Never cared for that pop ass,so no comment or rating.
So your one of those "old people" who are stuck listening to what they grew up to and can't adapt to music changing. It happens.
Nope,I just moved on to other regions and other Hip Hop generes.
Every artist,place and movement has it's time. I move on when they (IMO) fall off.
Let me ask you then,have you adapted to the ever changing styles of Hip Hop music?
It has gone from Hip Hop to Gangster Rap,Alternative rap,Mob Music,Bass,Bounce,Crunk,Hyphy,Snap and so on.
Are you up all that?
For those that know me here,know that I keep up..... so? ;)
native tongues weren't boogie pussies
tribe ain't from the suburbs, there from a working class area in south Jamaica, queens and they were street brothers as well, you can work out the rest
DE la are from the suburbs of long island new york, but they weren't no slouches neither, they have been known to slap up niggers that were out of line too, trust
you get the drift
Well,I don't know about that (them being hardcore).
But then again who cares?
All I know is that I care about the music they produce.
At the time I kinda dug their shit.
Jungle Brothers first album is the shit.
Jungle Brothers- Straight out the Jungle
http://www.youtube.com/v/K0wVNPWWZIw&hl=en&fs=1
Jungle Brothers-Because I Got It Like That
http://www.youtube.com/v/jEOOhFTWmk0&hl=en&fs=1
De La's first album is the shit too. Prince Paul went all out.
But shit their suburban asses dissed the hell out of Hip Hop and Gangster Rap. :-[ :-X
Fuck,"De La Soul is Dead" is basicilly a anti gangster rap album. :-[
De La Soul; Me Myself And I (you get the message :P)
http://www.youtube.com/v/e7PAkrbQScw&hl=en&fs=1
Other than a few cuts here and there,I can't stand Tribe. :P :-[
The fact you said new York fell off and only rate illmatic 03.5 is odd as its widely considered the greatest hip hop album ever made.
And you don't even have it in your top 20.That's old man syndrome.
yes it is. ;)
But the topic is;
your favorite 20 New York City rap albums?
;)
If the thread was called greatest NYC Hip Hop albums period. Then my list would probably look a little more like The Source magazines; (+- a few)

it would not make sense to someone who has no real true old school respect at all.

I respect it but that doesn't mean its better.Rap evolved from the old school to more complex rhymes,more musical production etc.Compare the production of today to the 80s its not even close.Musically the 80s was simple.And rhymes?Compare some of the people now to then.Its not even close.Rakim was a one of a kind then.Nowadays theirs tons and tons of rappers that can spit sick shit.The 8 0s get its respect its the beginning.But that doesn't make it better.Your obviously stuck in the past.

you obiviosly stuck up new schools ass to show any true respect for old school . i listen to new school but i don't think any it is better then anything from the 80's & 90's at all . nothing about new school is better at all .instead it is the reason music is so crappy at all & you also the reason hip hop so crappy because you are blind new school follower . the old school created all this & you & all your new school buddy owe the old school for that . the beginning is always the best because it is original . everybody after originals are clones & bandwagooners. nothing better then old school like 2pac said . remember rappers knew better then you & so did 2pac.

just cause i support artist from my city does not make my opinion not matter because i still know more then you & i have been listening & living hip hop since 1982 .so that means i have seen more then you & know more then you . so your opinion does not matter over mines because i have knowledge & experience over you.i from the old school & you are not . also i don't think j-kwon & nelly are better then anything from the 80's or 90's .slyk smoov is better then j-kwon & nelly but you would not know who that is at all. i support every st louis artist ever . i am true to my city & roots unlike you. as i said before & as 2pac has said there is nothing better then old school. so stop being hater & get over it
