consider suicide

this thread smells like entry levels

Madvillain - Madvillainy
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing.....
DJ Screw - 3 'n the Mornin': Part Two [Blue]
Three-6 Mafia - Mystic Stylez

Really no order to these. Just picked the best hip hop releases without duplicating styles.

Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
Ultramagnetic MCs - Critical Beatdown
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
Death Grips - Beware
and a threeway tie between Death Grips - Money Store, Death Grips - Bottomless Pit, and Death Grips - No Love Deep Web, and Death Grips - Jenny Death

I've learned over the years "entry-level" usually means "the best a genre has to offer".

1. The Money Store - Death Grips
(The Rest Is No Order)
2. XXX - Danny Brown
3. Madvillainy - Madvillainy
4. Gorillaz - Gorillaz
5. Wolf - Tyler The Creator

I'm so glad I found someone that loves RD as much as I do.:)

Also can somebody explain to me why MBDTF is loved by so much? Kayne`s Masterpiece is either College Dropout or 808s.

I'm way to new to put things in order, but my 5 favs are:

TPAB
yeezus
Untitled Unmastered
Bottomless Pit
Exmilitary

Also DG is by far my third fav band/group but I'm not sure if I'd consider all their stuff rap

1: Modal Soul - Nujabes
2: Endtroducing... - DJ Shadow
3: good kid, m.A.A.d. city - Kendrick Lamar
4: Liquid Swords - GZA/Genius
5: Madvillainy - Madvillain

Good taste.
Not bad either.
My nigga.
Not bad either. Too much Grips for my tastes tho.

It's my favorite album ever bro. It's a shame it's not in the same group as 36 Chambers or Illmatic. If more people heard it man.. I always thought if he were murdered after this album he's be considered the GOAT.

Prime Eminem can't be matched by the likes of Kendrick Lamar.

this

>beware
I think you mean exmilitary headass

>808s.
>Kanye's masterpiece

HAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHA *breathes* HHAHAHHHAHHAHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAH *checks snapchat* HAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHHHHAHAHAHHAHA

You can make an argument for Marshal Mathers LP but SSLP is basically the hip-hop version of granny music

2. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter 2
3. Young Jeezy - Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101

Cool Guys

>I have yet to hear an album that I felt like it was better that I listened to it in order
Easy. Splendor and Misery

1. Illmatic
2. The Infamous Mobb Deep
3. The Money Store
4. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (tied with) Ironman
5. College Dropout

The cool (lupe fiasco)
It was written (nas)
Me against the world (tupac)
To pimp a butterfly (kendrick lamar)
Ilmatic (nas)

gkmc, too

1. Kendrick - GKMC
2. Gibbs - piñata
3. Madvillainy
4. BIG - Ready to Die
5. Kemba - Negus

Much more arguable than a screenplay.

1. Wu-Tang Clan Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
2. 2Pac - All Eyez On Me
3. Kanye West - The College Dropout
4. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
5. Jay-Z - The Blueprint

5.5

This is your list and you shit on GKMC? What the hell

I like it a lot too, but I think a lot of people have heard it, Jay is one of the most popular rappers ever. Anyway, top tracks? My favorites are: D'evils, Cashmere Thoughts and Friend or Foe.

1. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2. Nas - Illmatic
3. MF DOOM - MM. Food
4. Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, m.A.A.d City
5. Kanye West - The College Dropout

Nice to see Enta Da Stage.

Kemba that came out the other day is that good or are you playing a Jack black?

Cannibal Ox - "The Cold Vein"
Gorillaz - "Demon Days" (Does it count?)
King Geedorah - "Take me to Your Leader"
Digable Planets - "Reachin'"

I can pick those four instantly. The fifth I'm not so sure about. I don't really listen to much hip-hop.

all those but change low end theory to midnight marauders, and good kid m.A.A.d. city to TPAB

10/10

>808s
>Masterpiece

I mean it was certainly new for its time and it has kickstarted new trends in hip-hop (*cough* Drake) but it hasn't aged too well and it's certainly not a masterpiece. I do think it's a pretty good album regardless, Paranoid is a fucking jam.
