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

never heard it

liked deej's post except for when he called all my favorite albums "a little overrated"

at least i didnt say 'gtfo x10000'

btw when i used 'ninja' upthread i meant it in the literal sense of a ninja being deft etc. not as a synonym for nbombs

not sure that needed clarifying but it would be as if i used 'weed carrier' to describe a satchel used to store weed in a conversation about rap on the internet

i should hope so xp

lol deej

*opens up weed carrier*

T.I. - King 7 156 eff this losing to trap muzik & eff all yall

???

i like trap muzik more than king. eff = fuck

Oh it reads like you thought Trap Muzik had placed higher and didn't deserve to.

im exaggerating a bit, i like king a lot too. just kinda disappointed its become the go-to, seems like trap muzik laid a lot more of a blueprint as far as the language & style of street rap in the 00s

oh yah. i dunno what i was thinking

im drinking wine & its friday night. soz

I def prefer Trap Muzik too.

i think the one i didnt see in most ppls lists that i would have included is Cormega

& young bleed

the two

Never heard of him before seeing him at Soundset the other day performing the song where he raps and cuts records at the same time. Like his voice and Funky 4 + 1 fandom.

Yo. Thing is, I got a snotty message back immediately from ahh for voting for this.

So, no time to vote but plenty of time to complain about the results? gtfo x 100

Yah how could I possiblyhave more time on a friday night! Don't be butthurt bcuz I don't think the beastie boys made three of the 100 best rap albums ever

This was my vote. Almost custom built to annoy goon crew people. But if Trip Hop's biggest failure was one of taxonomy - it wasn't trippy, it wasn't hip hop - then this is the antidote. A genuinely psychedelic record with loose, medicated rapping. The song Rock And Roll is amazing. (As most hip hop songs with rock and roll in the title tend to be.)

He's an amazing DJ. I've seen him do a set using Turkish psych, Anatlolian pop and the like as source material - fucking great.

Paul's Boutique is no worse than Straight Outta Compton. [/challops]

I mean, title track aside, the rapping and the production sucks major balls.

Sure, it's well fucking exciting but it's not a good record.

Just like a tortoise/ full of rigor mortis.

He's an amazing DJ. I've seen him do a set using Turkish psych, Anatlolian pop and the like as source material - fucking great.

TBH this kinda description never sounds appetising to me. Seems like any random DJ set at a goverment-funded arts event.

sort of a w/e list i guess - lots of relative placement weirdness. but i dont really know abt rap music idk. stuff i wouldve voted for that not many ppl did:

supa dupa fly, labor days, trap muzik, mr. scarface is back, grip it!, ill communication probably lots of nerdy backpacker shit...

the only thing that 'bugs' me tho really is the (very) low placement of life after death. love that record so much...

Tim F - We don't really have government funded hip hop in the uk... I'm a big fan of good scratch DJs using records with strong beats, no matter where they come from. But I know what you mean, I've seen DJ Rupture do a set using Eastern European music and it was shockingly bad - like Gogol Bordello with a donk on.

huh? i don't give a shit about the Beasties and DL said Paul's Boutique was way too high

xpost Ha, I'm not butthurt about your opinions - in fact I agree with a whole bunch of the assessments in your long post. I just think that if you can't find to vote during a month-long window then you shouldn't bitch about the results. Just one more vote could have tipped any of the 100-150 placements into the top 100.

I meant "find time to vote"

i havent been keeping track of which complaints specific ppl had that was just a blanket rme

xxp

Edan - Beauty And The Beat 1 25

This was my vote.

― PG Harpy (Doran), Saturday, June 4, 2011 8:14 AM (3 hours ago)

my vote too! did we mistabulate??

favorite misread ilm posts

looool

should've voted on this and just thrown 60 points at the score. or i would've if i knew it wasn't gonna make it in. i don't listen to enough full albums of anything to make a decent list.

lol hoos

i'm not a regular on the hiphop threads and i lurk mostly so my single post is fairly inconsequential. but anyway big props to a hoy hoy cos this poll has thrown up loads of things i've heard of before but not heard. as a 40sthg my listening prefs were more of the late 80s and early 90s hence my no1 vote for tuff crew, who continue to not get the recognition i think they deserve for 'back to wreck shop'. dj too tuff does great work (partic on 'what you don't know'), and there's a great flow to the whole album. here are a couple of highlights. /out

kinda surprised how much deej and I are in sync on his breakdown, don't get the hell hath no fury hating tho

not to rehash this but c'mon look at what albums placed lower than HHNF, it's pretty insane

but it got the dreaded GTFO x1000 rating
