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

man that sounds racist

i was the other immortal technique voter, whitey! that album has a quote i believe applies to these results:

you shouldn't fucking talk about telekinesis
n please, moving shit with your mind
try moving ya moms out the projects with your rhymes

all I need to know about this poll is that the forgettable A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing placed in the top 100 while the fucking towering conscious masterpiece To the East, Blackwards didn't so if everybody feels some guy who doesn't really keep up w/rap but used to love the shit out of it rolling his damn eyes please rest assured that it is me doing so in your non-X-Clan-appreciating direction

also sons of the p > sex packets but why even get started

Yo driver, pull over. I need my mid day Heineken.

Sissies. . .

I am thinking about it! thinking so hard

is this the deej canon list you posted on the Chris Rock thread? I was wonderin how Spottie claimed the only #1 vote for Rhytmalisms...

Apparently he didn't include my list after all but id told him to add that and something else I forget what

yeah I saw that

prolly that lady sovereign joint

xp

Otm

if all this had worked out All Eyez would be #1 and we'd all be chill in cash game for real

2pac didn't fare too well against biggie in this

appropriately

2pac was a cancer

Gtfox10000

like his stuff but his neg impact (resulting in Biggie's death) was unforgivable

His whole "Dre is gay" campaign was also pretty fucking disgusting

not that i demand PC from my rappers, just maybe from the Glee ones.

it's a shame that he helped create the atmosphere in which one of the greatest rappers of all time was murdered but uh...it's pretty bizarre to hold that against him when he, one of the other greatest rappers of all time, was also murdered 6 months earlier

didn't think y'all were voting on personalities here but idk maybe you were after all I hear cannibal ox are nice dudes

yeah, Biggie was a woman-beater and Dre a homophobe so who's to say 2Pac was worse?

x-post Obv. great albums are made by hideous people. Check Astral Weeks.

But all the hagiography of 2pac and Biggie is pretty fucking ignorant.

isn't that shit over tho? been a while since I saw a black velvet painting of biggie + pac holding hands in heaven

but I dunno it's been a while since I've been at a street fair or roadside stand

yeah i feel like a lot of exaggeration or over-romanticizing of their legacies, especially Pac, has kind of mellowed and corrected itself in recent years

seems like love of pac has mellowed too, his placing here was one of the biggest surprises for me

him being so prolific, especially for his time, has probably made it harder for consensus to form around any one of his albums as much as Ready To Die too

2pac was a fucking great rapper, of course, but I have East Coast issues with his legacy. Still listen to AEOM, MATW and Don Kill. Horrible human, nonetheless.

I was wondering if his posthumous career was partly to blame too tho me against the world seemed like a solid goto for a lotta fans

xp

i hear that Drake has a new album coming out soon, he's such a nice young man

you're maybe missing the part about hating personlly and listening at the same time. Doubt we'll be talking about Drake like this in 2025. (Doesn't mean that 2Pac wasn't a piece of shit tho. and an awesome rapper.)

bro

this poll is overrated.

j/k. thanks a hoy hoy! finally getting caught up after missing most of the roll-out. i guess my taste is in keeping with the ilx hivemind b/c 34 albums I voted for placed, including my #1 (Goodie Mob - Soul Food).

these are the ones that did not place:

EPMD - Unfinshed Business #9
The Alkaholiks - 21 & Over #18
scarface - mr. scarface is back #23
Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus #25
devin the dude - 2 tha extreme #27
Gang Starr - Hard To Earn #28
Geto Boys – We Cant Be Stopped #34
Blackalicious - Nia #39
The D.O.C. - Nobody Does It Better #42
aceyalone - all balls don't bounce #43
Prince Paul - A Prince Among Thieves #44
Ice T - The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech... Just Watch What You Say #45
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP #46
Brand Nubian - One For All #47
Waka Flocka Flame - Flockaveli #50

Public Enemy - Apocalypse '91 The Empire Strikes Black 5 90
Public Enemy - Enemy Strikes Black 1 25

Should Apocalypse '91 have made the top 100?

just read the full rundown.

fuck a lot of you. srsly.

hahahah

Haha

I really should have voted :(

Might have got Southernplayalistic and Bone Thugs into the top 100

No Bone Thugs is kind of a disgrace yeah.

I didn't vote cos I just felt it was too big and unmanageable a subject and I've got big gaps in my knowledge but if I'd've known Eazy was gonna finish 125th and 187um Killa wasn't even gonna appear I'd've done a ballot with just that at no. 1

Yeah, this poll is revealing all the weird gaps in my knowledge, which I think is cause during the time in my life I was most interested in rap ::canon::, I didn't have much $$$ or access to filesharing.

keep looking thru the top 100 and i'm like jesus where the fuck would you start dissecting the rongness? the fucking Clipse 20-odd places above Return to the 36 Chambers just GET. TAE. FUCK.

Like, why have I never heard a BDP album? WTF!

Btw everybody gtfoing at Endtroducing for not being a rap album also needs to gtfo at Donuts.
