The Greatest 50 Hip-hop Albums Ever - #16

[ImmortalOne]

the only shit i dont really bump on that list is probably run dmc, the sound is definitely kind dated.. everything else i like a lot. and  pauls boutique i got to be in the mood for. but its still a dope album regardless.

i dunno about bone thugs e1999 eternal.. i mean it was a good album .. but i dont thijnk it holds weight to any of the 50 albums that are going to be listed..i dont know bone thugs just isnt my taste at all for some reason.

Yea, but there is no denying the impact that album had. That was the album that basically put the midwest on the map. Long before Eminem or Nelly were household names, Bone was selling 6 million. They practically brought a whole new sound to the table with that album, and countless cats bit off it. That, and every song on there is a jewel (including one of the biggest rap hits of all time, Tha Crossroads). Should definatly be on the list. I know Bone is an acquired taste but there isnt 50 albums better than this, there just isnt.

this position is about right. although i do listen to this album a lot more than others in the top 15, i still think the top 15 are still greater hip hop albums in the general sense.

the last remaining 15 in no order.  this is what i think is going to be.
1. criminal minded - bdp
2. paid in full - eric b and rakim
3. great adventures of slick rick - slick rick
4. midnight marauders -atcq
5. low end theory - atcq
6. it takes a nation of millions to hold us back - PE
7. illmatic - nas
8. amerikkkaz most wanted - ice cube
9. straight outta compton - nwa
10. the chronic - dre
11. pauls boutique - beastie boys
12. ready to die - biggie
13. wu tang clan - 36 chambers
14. gangstarr - daily operation
15. raising hell - run dmc

7 Day Theory should be in there somewhere...

ill bet my life on the fact that it aint in that order, but those are the albums left.


btw, Im REALLY suprized, but i shouldnt be, to me, this album is total dopeness, but just music wise not as good as chronic, and its def not up there with it on impact wise, and its uncomparable to illmatic, i mean that by the fact that, illmatic will always be a top 3 album, i think doggystyle does not belong in the top 10. also albums like 36 chambers and ready to die, i place hgiher also, very easily.

I can't really say why others albums are ahead of this without giving away what's ahead.  When this list is over I'll put some honorable mentions and makes some responses regarding some albums in the sticky thread.

I have full confidence in C2K ordering the top15 a bit better than that one, Justin But damn well those are all albums that really deserve to make the top 15. I just don't think Doggy Style has any business up in there, in between those albums. We'll see what C2K makes off the rest of the list.

This album is the album that made rap commercial, this is the album that made rap popular around the world and this was the first rap album that debuted at the nr 1 spot on the billboard list. So if this album hasn't made an impact on the hip hop world then I don't know an album that have

i didnt list those in order. i said these are going to be the top 15, not in any order. i cant decide what order theyre going to be in, but i know those 15 cds will be in the top 15, give me one album leeway, and the rest of the 14 will for sure definitely be in there.

^^^Three years before Doggystyle.  And Doggystyle wasn't much more popular than The Chronic, that sold a huge 4 million copies compared to Snoop's 5.

Doesnt  midnight marauders have the best intermissions or "skits" on an album?!  That Tour Guide gives that album an extra push...it just feels like ur actually going on a hip hop ride.  Anybody else agree?
