If you could only buy 10 rap albums ever, these are the ones I'd recommend.

"The Chronic" - Dr. Dre
"Chronic 2001" - Dr. Dre
"NWA Legacy Vol 1" - NWA & various related artists
"Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers" - Wu-Tang Clan
"Wu-Tang Forever" - Wu-Tang Clan
"Watermelon, Chicken, & Gritz" - Nappy Roots
"Eternal E" - Eazy E
"Devil Without a Cause" - Kid Rock (some rock influence, but Kid started as a rapper and believe it or not, toured with Ice Cube in the early 90's)
"The Marshall Mathers LP" - Eminem
"Doggystyle" - Snoop Doggy Dogg

What? no Run DMC, Public Enemy or LL Cool J. I might be old, but they all kicked ass over anything you just listed.

I am a rap connisseur, so yes, I enjoy & respect the artists you listed. However, all of the albums I listened are basically solid throughout the entire album, meaning you could pop them in the CD player and either not use the fast forward button at all or maybe sparingly. Run-DMC, PE, and Ladies Love Cool James never put out an album that was as rock solid as the ones I listed. The Wu-Tang Forever is an exception, but as a double album, had it been cut down to one CD, it would have possibly been top 3-5 material. But because it was so landmark and has some of the greatest songs ever ("Triumph", "Reunited", etc.) it makes the list on merit alone. The other 9 are consistently good.

Also, Public Enemy doesnt even come close to touching NWA or the Wu-Tang Clan. Run-DMC was groundbreaking, but no more groundbreaking than NWA, perhaps even less so. "The Chronic" and "Chronic 2001" are 2 of the greatest albums of ANY genre ever, and "The Chronic" has arguably the greatest rap song in the history of the genre, "Nuthin But a 'G' Thang".
 
If the title of this thread was "If you could only BURN ten rap albums" I might have some input. :D Carry on.

I actually do like some of the ones you listed though. The Marshall Mathers LP had some good ones on it.
 
No Ice T?

No Moe Dee?

No MixALot? (rapper upon arriving on the scene)

No Vanilla Ice?

How does it look 'commercial'?

NWA and Eazy E got virtually no airplay. It took a classic album for Dre to get airplay. Kid Rock got no love until his 5th album, "Devil...", Wu-Tang gets virtually no airplay and while Em and Snoop may get airplay, those albums are classic.

Ice T - no solid albums, just a few good singles

Mixalot and 'nilla.... dont make me laugh

I havent sampled enough of Kool Moe Dee's catalog to make judgement on him, but chances are if he was that good, I'd have heard some of his better tracks already

del the funkee homosapien albums are good too.

if you can locate this album, check it out: so underground it's painful. if ya got aim and a fast connection, i can get it to you also.
 
If Tech N9ne had a greatest hits out, it'd definitely be on the list as well, probably knocking off "The Marshall Mathers LP"

I'm saying if Tech N9ne keeps getting better, he could be one of the top 5-10 MC's EVER. Its so bad he isnt getting a huge amount of national love yet b/c he's from the Midwest (Kansas City).
 
dre - the chronic (can't argue this one)
run dmc - raising hell
beastie boys - license to ill
snoop - doggystyle
easy e's solo album...forgot the title (had "Nobody move, nobody get hurt" on it)
nwa - straight outta compton
ll cool j's "all world" is a good compilation of the best of uncle L, although i agree with no single album standing out as something top ten worthy
never got into wu-tang
deltron3030 is good shit
digable planets - Reachin'(A New Refutation of Time and Space)

Raising Hell was good, maybe Top 25
License to Ill was badass

Eazy E's first solo album was called "Eazy Duz It"

Wu-Tang Clan is not easy to get into. Not everything they say makes a whole lot of sense and because they rap in obscure metaphors, similes, etc. so often, they alienate a lot of listeners. Still, you've got to respect any group with 9+ members that hasnt broken up after 10+ years together, altho 3 are relatives, so that helps (RZA, GZA, & Ol Dirty Bastard). I dont know if they'll be able to top 36 Chambers or Forever though, but RZA is one of the best producers ever and their style is unlike no other.
 
WHY WOULD YOU WASTE SOME OF YOUR CHOICES ON WUTANG BULLSHIT!!!

Or "Yod-a-lin in the Valley" (a song about eating pussy)

That album wasnt all that good. And yes Kayne, he did start as a rapper.

You should see the inside of that CD sleeve, hilarious shit. He's had a pose of him giving the finger in some fashion in every one of his albums.
1990 - "Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast"
1992 - "The Polyfuze Method"
1994 - "Fire It Up"
1996 - "Early Mornin Stoned Pimp"

2001 - "Cocky"

the only way i had ever heard of that guy was a good friend of mine who lived up in detroit and used to go see him rap. she mailed me a copy of the pimp of the nation single on tape that had yodelin in the valley on it.

fear of a black planet was a good album, i never had that but did have "it takes a nation of millions to hold us back"

BTW.....I'M PRETTY SURE THAT ALBUM CAME OUT AFTER HE GOT HIS START BY DEEJAYING FOR CUBE ON TOUR. ATLEAST THATS WHAT I GATHER FROM INTERVIEWS I SAW OF HIM WHEN HE FIRST CAME OUT WITH DEVIL WITHOUT A CAUSE. HE WAS DEEJAYING MTV'S NEW YEARS BASH.

"Fuck You Blind Remix" (History of Rock)
"WCSR (World Class Sex Rhymes)" feat. Snoop Dogg
"I Got One For Ya"
"Roving Gangster (Rollin)"

Rock/Metal/or Singing Shit:
"My Oedipus Complex" - pretty deep song about him & his dad
"Only God Knows Why"
"Lonely Road of Faith"
"Prodigal Son"
"Dark & Grey"
"I Am The Bullgod"
"If I Was President" (radio segment)

So you would roll your eyes.;)

Nope.....I like music that makes sense.
 
if I could only buy 10 rap albums - then I would make them all def leppard. or maybe poison. could I mix them up? I hope so.
 
what about Swollen Member's 'Balance' and Method Man's Tical albums? Those were good too.

Rap makes more sense than a lot of shit you'll hear on the radio, believe me.


Hansel,
Never heard "Swollen Member" and altho I'm a huge Wu fan and like most of Method's verses on Wu joints & guest spots, his albums were mediocre as fuck, with like 4 good songs between the two.

At least we can agree to disagree.:)

I lean heavily towards the 70's music of Doobie Brothers, Eagles, Jim Croce, etc. Age difference might have something to do with it.

LoL. We've agreed on stuff before, even gave each other green karma if i remember correctly...

I appreciate ALL kinds of music, provided its good.

I'm a big fan of The Eagles, Hendrix, Skynyrd, and a few others from that era.

Problem is, rap is full of stereotypes (comes with the territory) and you're right, there is some rap that is ignorant sounding. Do you download music?

:FRlol: Yea, I know we have!

I agree with the appreciating music viewpoint. It seems all of the rap I hear is thug related. Plus, I usually hear it rumbling past the house at about 2:00 AM in the morning or hear it "thumping" next to me at a stoplight. :FRlol:

I guess I never moved out of the 70's. No, I don't download music.

Funny thing......I have a 20 year old nephew that came to my house this past weekend. He said, come out to my car and see what I installed. It was a fucking woofer the size of his trunk with a power wire and a ground wire the size of my index finger. I asked him if he had to install a second battery to run the thing. Fucker damn near broke the windows in his car when he turned it up. I guess we are only young once.
