Sirens sounded, they seemed astounded: THE ILM RAP MUSIC OF THE GODS ALL TIME 100 GREATEST ALBUMS OFFICIAL THREAD

the only Kanye album I own

808 & Heartbreak seems interesting, maybe I'll pick that up, but the rest of his subsequent albums just seem kind of gross to me

27. Digital Underground - Sex Packets [10 votes, 310 points, 1990]

Interesting. Packetman is a great jam.

The clipse don't belong on this list really

Shock G = my hero

kanye tho

xp

Impressed that did so well, placement seems a lil high tbh. Maybe if you include the tracks that were cut...

Talking about du

the last album of the day and maybe one enough to doubt the existence of anyone on ilx not worthy of a sb.

Oh great cibo matto

26. Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein [10 votes, 312 points, 2001]

D what tracks were cut from Sex Packets? never heard this story before (I know they had some 12" out when Shock was still in Miami or something, right?)

have never given a fuck about Cannibal Ox, who's voting for this shit

british ppl I think

cannibal ox is better than anything else in the 20s so far

life after death wouldve been top 10 4 me

Lol lol lol

damn, can ox is badass

cannible ox, el-p, non-prophets, sage francis, deep puddle dynamics, dynospectrum, atmosphere...REAL hiphop,

Shakey - Sex Packets on cassette had "Hip Hop Doll", "Sound of the Underground", "A Tribute to the Early Days" and an uncut "Gutfest".

DU is the first of my top 5 to place.

Top 50 spotify playlist so far - I'll hopefully get the rest on as a hoy hoy puts them out tomorrow, though Friday might get in the way of that.

50-26 - http://open.spotify.com/user/onimo/playlist/5tbEzPPYonijZURIGjZcfm

I like The Cold Vein, toss up between it and Aesop's Labor Days as far as that style of hip-hop goes. For me anyway.

huh weird that I've never come across that cassette release info before

um off to find a download...
xp

SAGE FRANCIS IS REAL HIP-HOP

Lol at the terms; "real hip-hop" or "real heads" or "true heads"

I had Sex Packets on cassette for years before I got around to buying the cd. Was crushed that "Hip Hop Doll" wasn't on it. Used to put it on nearly every mixtape I made.

I've listened to "wamp wamp" like 3x since clipse ranked

I like can ox too but lol@ the idea that it's better than all tupac albums

Checking in late - I voted for DJ Shadow because it was on the noms list. Thought it weird myself but if it's up for consideration… Same with Gil on the tracks list.

Surprised to see so many De La and Ghostface albums - was expecting them to lose out to vote-splitting.

Definitely, some weird smh moments today where it was like, yah I like this album but it has no business this high or even placing. xp

I like can ox too but lol@ the idea that it's better than all tupac albums

I forgive you

(j/k I can't remember if it was on my ballot either lol)

Oh great cibo matto

lmao i remember when Miseducation dropped and Time magazine had this big cover story with a sidebar of 10 important hip hop albums that included Maxinquaye and Viva La Woman

hahahaha wait

did I write that, because that sounds like prime DJP mid-90s trolling

(nb: I did not write that)

i always knew you were secretly christopher john farley

or i should say, i always knew christopher john farley was secretly a juggalo

FORKS UP FORKS DOWN

14 so far

i sb'd myself for forgetting the ruler

16 so far here.

Boy in da corner and Hell hath no fury are loaded front to back with absolute bangers and the rapping is emotionally complex, technically dexterous and just fun to listen to, fuiud. I'm surprised HHNF placed so high though, I thought people here agreed lord willin was better - imo it's not nearly as consistent - but maybe that was just whinegarden.

I love or have loved all 3, but Lauryn, Check your head and especially DJ Shadow are NOT rap albums!

This thread has inspired me to download Black Moon, Cypress Hill (used to have the CD) and Ridin Dirty. I voted Underground Kingz, which is great in its own right, but I have mostly heard their later stuff.

Never been able to really get into can ox, big l or ultramagnetic.

Deej; you think 4,5,6 or Word Life is gonna make it? I'm holding out.

Lol no way

How could there be room for kool g rap when we need to include the clipse

or big daddy kane ffs

I voted for G Rap but I'm betting others either voted for other albums of his or didn't vote at all...

Prolly true.
