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...

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

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

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.

Shameful.

i voted for wanted: dead or alive by kool g rap...but he's tough i could see votes going to that album or 4, 5, 6 or road to the riches or live and let die :?

i voted for wanted: dead or alive by kool g rap

ah there is still hope! I think it was you that hipped me to that album iirc good on ya

long live the kane needs to be on this list

i didn't have time to order mine though so i have no idea if that affects things...i just picked overall number ones and let the rest go

Would be happy with any of Kanes first few tbh, not gonna happen, G Rap may have a better chance.

I kinda wish we could re-poll.

well after this we can poll all the results lol

haha

yeah it's a big daddy thing is good too...actually looks like a job for... is pretty good too, his later stuff is kinda underrated

i nommed Prince of Darkness

Long Live the Kane and It's a Big Daddy Thing are both great, and one of them deserves to place but yeah I'm kinda doubting it at this point. I dunno his later stuff.

he is awesome on Prince Among Thieves lol

taste of chocolate has pretty weak beats but Big Daddy Vs. Dolemite is a great o_O little curiosity

man...shit...prince among thieves rules, i should put that on my ballot

listened to it recently and it holds up very well

"he is awesome on Prince Among Thieves lol"

yah that was my fav joint on there besides Pain.

Prince Among Thieves was like some life changing ish when I first heard it, holds up for sure. I rarely revisit it tho.

I listened to it just last week, it's great once it gets going! surely some kind of shouldabeen-a-landmark-album. pretty sure I voted for it.

talking of Prince Paul.. Niggamortis?
