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

lol, you know one of the reasons I hated Ashanti so much is because she reappropriated the beat to "One More Chance" remix and I would always get happy when it started, and then get really mad when Ashanti started whining

Paul's Boutique is going to be too high - should be a 10-15 album, not better than Ready to Die and OB4CL.

lol e3

NWA does kinda suck,

NO YOU SUCK

didn't vote Illmatic

from the age of about 16 to 21, Ice Cube was the greatest songwriter on the planet. don't think anyone in any field has ever given up so young when they were so great before.

imo Paul's Boutique is more 'Odelay precursor' than 'great rap record' but I dunno much about anything when it comes to this so...

new king of challops

no Junior Mafia on this either huh.

more challops: I never gave a fuck about RtD either. The first time I saw the video for "Big Poppa" I distinctly recall thinking "wow, if this is where hip hop is going, I just don't care anymore"

PE was my #1. It's all gone horribly wrong.

WGW would approve of this album

PE should have won this

so wrong if 36 chambers is #1

xp you sure, ilxor? never woulda pegged Whiney a Big Bear fan

and the beastie boys i don't even know

#1 is going to be Tea Bag Boyz: http://youtu.be/VzsFJolrYuI

not enough jay-z on this list either

was anyone here born before 2000?

lol Chris Lady Sovereign was a joke

lol @ thebingo

Lmao at shakey hating on rtd

thank christ, i was getting red in the face.

The first time I saw the video for "Big Poppa" I distinctly recall thinking "wow, if this is where hip hop is going, I just don't care anymore"

I was the same way, I just couldn't stand it and hated anything Puffy was remotely involved with. But I got into a couple of years ago when all the things I hated about it had become commonplace enough that they didn't stand out as obnoxious anymore, or were now quaint and charming compared to even more obnoxious things.

Chuck D, all-time voice of authority.

RtD isn't exactly my thing, but I recognize that it is great

TEEEEA BAAAAG!

i almost put my fist through the screen of my pc.

man that would've been awesome

I wasn't initially an RtD fan but I later came round to the idea that Biggie was basically the most naturally gifted MC of all time.

IT AIN'T JUST A MOVEMENT, IT'S A CULTURE

awww bingo

To be completely real I think rtd is a bit overrated and life after death underrated. On this list even moreso

I was completely allergic to Puffy in the 90s and am not much better now

i take my old school hip hop seriously and was about to have an aneurysm.

Xxp ahhh speaking of overrated

There's my #1.

please tell me 112, w biggie and mase made the singles.

To be completely real I think rtd is a bit overrated and life after death underrated. On this list even moreso

I... do not

also lol, Paul's Boutique on paper is like the DJPest Beasties album of them all and... I have never heard the entire thing

to give it to you straight like a pear cider made with 100% pears i think rtd is a bit overrated and life after death underrated

Four #1s? That's not right. Genius production but such limited MCs.
