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

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?

Haha love big daddy vs dolemite

I was more a g rap / rakim dude but I have to say I prefer bdk and slick rick's stylistic descendents

Nb that requires a lot of unpacking and I haven't really thought it through, take it how u will

I bet it makes it, I had it on my list. Surprised it didn't show up yet tbh. xp

"I was more a g rap / rakim dude but I have to say I prefer bdk and slick rick's stylistic descendents"

That's an interesting talking point. Not sure which branch of the family tree I would prefer overall.

Would have to make some kind of list and weigh the pros/cons strengths/weaknesses or something.

I'm not sure how that family tree breaks down, would need to see it laid out

Basically pimp raps (snoop, shock g, lots of bay area dudes, etc) verses mafioso NY raps (Nas, Big, Jay, etc)

for those that haven't heard:

Big Daddy vs. Dolemite

five glorious minutes of BDK and Rudy Ray Moore playing the dozens

"I made the streets of New York hot as a sauna
and put a 'Home Sweet Ho' sign on every corner!"

"you ain't sayin' nothin' slick to a carnivore"

haha thats great, pretty sure I skipped that track every time I listened to TOC, will be rectified.

Its basically just punchline after punchline.

Jayz kind of bridges kane and g rap

Kind of, yah. Was off the top. Pun may be a better fit.

whoa didnt notice this was rolling out til now

oh the fun you've missed

Blowout Comb

also two gang starr albums have already placed, dunno how many is enough for you

yeah shadow...i actually still love that album to death ..but it doesn't seem like a hip hop record to me

to me it's more like i dunno, boards of canada done w/hip hop techniques

fuckin digable planets BETTER not have beaten all the stuff that's already placed

Blowout Comb should totally place but I agree it should've already come up by now

I'd imagine #1 was a shootout between The Chronic and Illmatic?

My 60 points and #1 vote for Stetsasonic appear to have been all for naught.

I'd imagine #1 was a shootout between The Chronic and Illmatic?

mmm I was thinking more Straight Outta Compton vs. Nation of Millions

I mean there aren't THAT many Nas stans still around here are there...?

i honestly have no idea what #1 will be. could be PE, could be Nas, could be Dre, could be Wu.

x-post Just want all the Gangstarr albums that are better than that Clipse one...so basically all of them.

xp

it's the greatest rap album ever made by humans...so.....you know

i honestly have no idea what #1 will be. could be PE, could be Nas, could be Dre, could be Wu.

ah shit this is ILM so maybe 36 chambers

I'm thinking PE will take #1 now--though people maybe split votes between Black Planet and Nation. Paul's Boutique dark horse for top 5.

Doubt Blowout Comb, Cube or One For All will hit top 25.

Ice Cube will DEFINITELY place come on now

Hopefully. Death Certificate was my #1.

it wasn't my number one, but it was way up there, and I'm sure others voted similarly

i voted for amerikkka's most wanted over death certificate

uh liquid swords ppl

We shall see. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure 36 Chambers or Illmatic is a lock for #1.

I always forget people rate Liquid Swords so highly
