Total Posts: 2230 Member Since: 2006 Location: Easy as pie 3.14 | posted Tuesday, November 03, 2009 3:52:43 PM  Jeru the Damaja- The Sun Rises in the East. One of the rawest albums ever. Souls of Mischief- 93 'til Infinity. The best west coast album ever imo. The Souls got some crazy rhyme structures on this, and the beats to match. Raekwon- Only Built for Cuban Linx Mobb Deep- The Infamous. I've decided this is my favorite album. The most dark and grimey beats ever, and Prodigy is at the pinnacle of his MC career. You can feel the ghetto and shit. A Tribe Called Quest- Midnight Marauders
Safe to say these are 10 of the best albums ever no doubt. I'll tally the votes once I think the responses have finished.Partial IP: 105.108.96 |

but if i had to try... in no particular order....
liquid swordz enta da stage OB4CL illadelph halflife AAARRRGHH can't decide between 93 til infinity, stress and the infamous and the sun also rises.
TRICK QUESTION!!
FTR, i didn't pick "hard to earn" cuz i don't consider it gangstarr's best album. it's a phenomenal album, but i got a thing for "step in the arena".Partial IP: 219.92.130 |

2. Midnight Marauders - the chill vibe on this album is untouchable.
3. The Infamous - too many bangers to list.
4. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx - I mean this shit spawned a renaissance in street rap

Looks like OB4CL is the best album ever! Haha. Almost everyone had the top 4. A couple responses were ambiguous and I had to guess what they picked. Anyway good shit. I'll try to do another one several months from now with some albums I haven't done before, old and new.Partial IP: 105.108.96 |

Regardless of the numbers and what everyone picked, those are ALL fuckin great albums and must-owns for every so-called Hiphop head. And I don't mean owning the mp3's, I mean owning the actual Vinyl LP's, CD's or even Cassette Tapes.Partial IP: 188.114.27 |
Total Posts: 2230 Member Since: 2006 Location: Easy as pie 3.14 | posted Wednesday, November 04, 2009 5:13:25 PM  ^Agreed. And I do own all of the OG copies. Except for Liquid Swords, I've had my albums stolen twice and I haven't gotten a chance to buy a real copy yet so I got a burned copy. I'll admit it bothers me, it looks out of place in my cd collection. But I'll live. I hope you can forgive me.  Partial IP: 105.108.96 |
