will someone that's really into hip-hop tell me their top 5 favorite hip-hop albums of all time? i like hip-hop, but i just don't have that much...

for starters, i'd say snag biggies greatest hits. maybe some lil wayne - carter II or drought 3. gotta have dr. dre - the chronic 2001. i'm not a big fan but a lot of people like three six mafia.

i got the new kanye for whoever else was asking, its got some jamz

edit to "trickedthePigs" -skys the limit off da drought 3 is tight

Grab lots of Wayne, Some Mob Deep, Papoose, The Game, Rick Ross, can't go wrong with hov (jay-z), and some biggie.

im gonna say, any nas, lil wayne, cormega, jeezy, and honestly ludacris word of mouf is so tight, the song growing pains

I don't really listen to that much hip-hop, but one of my favorite albums in general is Public Enemy's "It Takes A Nation Of Millions to Hold Us."

big l - lifestylez of da poor and dangerous, freestyle mixtapes, the big picture
biggie - ready to die/duets/blue eyes bed stuy
slum village - fantastic vol 1
jay z - blueprint
anything by gang starr...above the clouds and you know my steez are both great

Rob Sonic is an amzing rapper. ADeeM is also

been listening to P.O.S and atmosphere alot this past week

I love atmosphere

of the new:
lil wayne - da drought 3
the game - documentary
kanye - college dropout
jay-z - blueprint

of the old:
notorious BIG - ready to die
jay-z - reasonable doubt
dr. dre - the chronic
snoop - doggystyle

Check out some Noreaga...bloodmoney pt.3 is one of my favorite hip-hop songs.

i don't know if Sage Francis has been beaten to death yet in this thread

but if you've never heard of him or his music, please please go check him out, he's a phenomenal lyricist

i could never really get into him beyond crack pipes & one or two other tracks.

great start to crack pipes though.

dr. dre - 2001
a tribe called quest - midnight marauders
snoop dogg - doggystyle
nas - illmatic

can't decide between wu-tang clan - 36 chambers or nas - stillmatic for the fifth favourite.

Cause I'm like the wizard and you look lost like Dorothy.

man big brother off the new kanye is so tight, and everything i am, but yea if you guys got old aesop rock, daylight is prolly the sickest song ever

top 5 i'd go:
wu-tang clan - enter the 36 chambers
jay-z - volume 2: hard knock life
jedi mind tricks - visions of ghandi
ghostface killah - fishscale
and i know it's a bootleg, but the game - the face of la

the actual face of LA song is dirty...and i think my favorite song off kanye's album is flashing lights. the dude on the hook is alright but i really like the beat.

i love "homecoming" and the intro track.

thanks dudes. i'll definitely grab some of them albums, much apreesh.

cant go wrong with T.I.s "KING".

Cant go right with him either...

Jedi Mind Tricks- The Psycho Social
Nujabes- Metaphorical Music
iCON the Mic King- Intricate Spectrum
Binary Star- Masters Of The Universe
Qwel & Maker- The Harvest

These albums define everything I love about hip-hop

You like metaphorical music over modal soul?
i think i like modal soul a bit more, although there are some very solid tracks on mm.

I can never get into the Psycho Social.

damn, here we go again
Common passed on this beat, i made it to a jam,

Jazzmatazz Vol. 1 and Legend Of The Liquid Sword are annihilating my speakers now.

Best Rapper Alive Vol. 4 Bootleg leaked. It has some new tracks on it, some on other mixtapes. Still really good. I also found a clean quality of The Bad Side. If you haven't heard that song check it out, now.

send me best rapper alive 4

Nas ran train on Live at the BBQ. Best verse I think I have ever heard.

more people need to listen to jedi minds and cunninlynguists

also, who's into old triple six? new shit is LAME

I'm big into old triple six. Since 9th grade nik.

hell yeah!

they were in their prime with lord infamous. Ridin the chevy, smoked out loced out, and 1000 blunts are where its at.

lord infamous needs to hurry up and get outta jail and come back to the three 6

I hope the new JMT won't suck like the new Army Of The Pharaohs did.
