Your five favourite hip-hop albums. - Page 6

Derek · 06.14.2009, 03:41 PM

Old thread but I'd like to contribute wahey.

1. Dr. Dre - The Chronic
2. OutKast - Stankonia
3. Gza/The Genius - Liquid Swords
4. Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow
5. Nas - Illmatic

I'm positive I've posted to this thread already but I'm too lazy to check. For some reason I've been enjoying hip hop way more than rock music lately. I've just not been able to settle into listening to any noise rock or other genres I regularly indulge in.

Glice · 06.14.2009, 03:48 PM

Did you ever hear that Blackalicious A to G EP? That got played an astonishing amount at the time. That and Roots Manuva's Witness, I think it was a similar time. Ish.

I think if I listed five hip-hop LPs it'd just be the first five I think of. I like some hip-hop, but not enough to have a top five.

Derek · 06.14.2009, 03:50 PM

Nah I haven't. I've actually only heard Blazing Arrow and even though it's so astonishing to me I never felt like listening to any of their other stuff. I'll listen to it in due time I'm sure.

I disagree with this list. Must've been really stoned.

i can't decide on a fifth one but those 4 always kill it for me

this is still spot on.

it is still hard to pick a fifth one. I guess those 4 are the only ones I feel are masterpieces.

maybe something by outkast but its too hard to pick between atliens, aquemini & stankonia

Sonic Youth 37 · 06.14.2009, 05:28 PM

New list:
Operation Doomsday
6 Feet Deep
CLOUDDEAD
Enter The Wu-Tang
Take Me To Your Leader
Lord Willin'
Big Shots
First Come, First Served

My hiphop taste is very basic

Same. There's so many classic albums I still have to check out.

loubarret · 06.15.2009, 07:16 AM

noisereductions · 06.15.2009, 04:37 PM

This is really fucking hard because I'd say the majority of my collection is hip hop. I just can't even try to narrow it down as much as I try.

Reminds me of that part in High Fidelity when the interviewer is like 'what are your top 5 albums ever' and he's like WTF? "Top 5 for the club? The home? What?" I mean, I could probably say my Top 5 Summer hip hop albums. Or Southern. Or Brooklyn. Or 1996. Or anything if it were narrowed down. But this... this is way too much.

Shifty Prophet · 06.15.2009, 07:03 PM

Yeah I know what you mean, I just kinda thought about at that moment what are my top 5.

But think about this, no matter what mood or time your are rating for, shouldn't at least 1 or 2 of yr ''whatever'' top five be in your all time top 5, such complexities

noisereductions · 06.15.2009, 07:46 PM

I can easily come up with MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS and ENTER THE WU-TANG, but after that it's way too confusing.
