Rap's 25 Greatest Albums, according to Chris Rock

The Chronic is sonically incredible, but it's hard to drive around singing songs about "Eazy-E can eat a big fat dick." But I got a feeling I'll be singing "Gin and Juice" when I'm ninety.

xpost: everything Wyclef has ever done is good, but I like the next one a bit better

So is anyone inclined to post their OWN top 25 hip-hop albums?

Genius. This is a fantastic list.

Me too. "Doggy style" fucking rules. "The chronic" is great but it's still kind of half of the post-Marly/Bomb Squad production style of "efil4zaggin" and half of the more laid back g-funk. "Doggy style" just flows better.

Glad to see he picked "reasonable doubt" and "follow the leader" too. "Lyrics Of Fury" is probablly, lyrically, the best rapping anyone's ever done. Word life !

Eh @ Lauryn Hill, Wyclef and Dizzee Rascal, though.

OTM, I thought this too,

that's a typo, right?

huh?

Although my fave album isn't on there (BDP's Criminal Minded) he hits a lot of classics and defends the overlooked (OTM re: Scarface). Plus, no Mobb Deep, who I think are way overrated.

he wrote a blurb about The Predator for the SNL-edited issue of spin back in what, 92? it always stuck with me and its pretty similar.

I posted a little quote from Prince Paul on the topic:

So is the first Gravediggaz actually. And the second one is better than you'd expect. Also been getting into that first Tribe record as well. Phenomenal.

Cool to see "Stillmatic" is on there but not "Illmatic". Finally someone else who doesn't think "Illmatic" was the be all and end all of Nas' career. It's likely that he still has his best album in him.

Reasonable Doubt is definitely the best Jay-Z album but, like, even David Duke agrees with that.

al this is like the 6th thread that hes revived over the last couple weeks to SHOCK US ALL by telling us that he thinks 2001 is boring

Go ahead and produce the other 5, cocksucker, or shut the fuck up. The last time I said 2001 was boring was probably over a month ago.

deej, you are a fucking retarded orangutan.

You consider yourself the Godfather of Rap and actually get offended when someone dares disagree with your opinion (note I've never actually said any of YOUR opinions were 'RONG' before).

You are a fucking idiot. People like you deserve to be fed to the wolves.

as far as repeating conventional wisdom...so essentially that's saying "how dare you say something right that many of us know already". Fucking plebeian.

Shut up, Blowjob.

guys can this be the Official Bo Jackson Overdrive Finally Goes Batshit And Gets Banned Thread?

let's make this happen

retarded orangutan

c'mon, this is funnier than any of Alex in NYC's insults in the past 2 years

dude does indeed bring the zings.

and the rapier wit

I think I detected a tiny zing from Chris Rock towards the David Cross generation of hipster comics with "It happens to comedians, too. They want to be cool, but just being funny is cool." I also read Chris Rock say something in another interview about how he didn't like comedians complaining about zoo crew radio DJs --on of Cross's bits-- because even if they're annoying they help comedians promote their shows.

"deej, you are a fucking retarded orangutan"

OTM

People like you deserve to be fed to the wolves.

now i feel like i must've been subliminally biting however this was when i picked this display name a couple years later

however=whoever

lol @ deej not recognizing that murder photo considering some of his arguments this week

"a disgusting picture"

what is it / it is disgusting?

dude from Mayhem's suicide photo iirc

ok. dont get why thats hilarious tho

because you were on some "metal is just metal imo" talkin from the mountains and you can't even recognize one of it's most iconic images

yeah i don't see how that's lol. i'm way more into metal than deej (although still not exactly a metalhead) and have no idea what pic we're talking about.

me neither...? I mean, I guess I am aware that the Mayhem guy committed suicide but I don't really seek out photos of that kind of shit. Because I am not a morbidly obsessed teenager.

you don't have to "seek it out" it was on the cover of an album iirc tbh otm afaik

a bootleg live album iirc tbh otm wtf dude

finally snagged a used copy of this. totally love it. fuck Allmusic saying she's No Limit's Lil Kim/Foxy Brown. she drops some topics that rarely ever make it in hardcore rap...domestic abuse from the point of view of the lady? Being a single mom? the last 4 tracks are really heavy but awesome. she had lyrics. def high point of No Limit, sad I waited so long to hear this.

That record is classic

I think it may be v well the best thing No Limit ever put out

totally. not surprised why ethan listed her as his top female MC.

deej and reverend are otm, ban Jordan S.

I was a huge fan of the Wyclef album, and it's a shame he's so maligned by the hipsterati. The Carnival is an eclectic and fascinating record.

so quaint to see him using terms as tame as 'hipsterati' back then

dj shadow's entroducing would be nice, but theres no rapping on it

THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT A RAP ALBUM.
