What is the greatest hip-hop album ever?
What is the greatest hip-hop album ever?
Aaron Barnes
Jace Jenkins
Jaxson Cook
Well established fact
Parker Perez
Lincoln Perry
Ethan Brooks
Paid in Full
Noah Morris
Benjamin Hall
TPAB
Julian Flores
Ian Russell
niggas actually believe this lmao
Colton Moore
this but unironically
Lucas Johnson
not the best, but massivley underrated.
unparalleled flow chemistry and solid production
Jack Sanchez
Nathaniel Wright
I think Madvillainy has too much influence and importance to be ignored as the probable best
Cooper Perry
Stankonia's better
Jeremiah Price
Leo Clark
I keep going back to MBDTF trying to understand why anyone would consider it among the best albums hip-hop has to offer, when Kanye alone has better albums suited for that like TCD or LR, hell even the last edit of Pablo is better than MBDTF.
This list is almost on point though I would take out TPAB and include some Outkast album.
Asher Lee
John Myers
The more hip-hop I listen to the more genius this album becomes. There's so many different sounds and the interplay between the MCs make it still sound fresh decades later. Most hip-hop just sounds monotone in comparison.
Asher Barnes
Jaxson Thompson
Tariq Nasheed - Wash Yo Ass
Landon Hill
Nathan Anderson
Objectively.
Daniel White
Austin Rodriguez
Asher Ross
I know everyone likes this but you don't often see it named as one of the best ever. It deserves it.
Nothing wrong with 2/3 of those albums.
Serious contender.
Isaiah Stewart
Mostly coming down the production, I don't know of any other mainstream hip-hop album with such lush production, and the rock influences are implemented in a tasteful way.
That being said, I have the exact same problem with 36 Chambers. Just can't get into Wu-Tang at all. I love OutKast and ATCQ, but I am not able to sit through a single Wu-Tang album. Might be the fact I'm not a native speaker so don't pick up lyrics on-the-fly.

Christian Wright
Aww shucks, thanks for agreeing
Joseph Hughes
Ryan Sanders
remove the first 2 and you'd be correct :)
Angel Johnson
>I share a board with people with opinions like these
Madvillainy is great but I don't think it's possible to argue the other two come anywhere close to 36 Chambers and Illmatic.
Caleb Rodriguez
I would never consider anything produced after 1987 to be great. Hip-hop died after NWA imo
Zachary Moore
memes
Benjamin Evans
correct answer
James Clark
>(you have to be severely retarded to hold this opinion seriously)
Sebastian Jenkins
36 chambers, ATLiens or maybe Stankonia, MBDTF, Illmatic and this should all be in the conversation
honrable mention to Supreme Clientele
Matthew Howard

Christian Stewart

mixtapes count in the discussion because they are collections of music and why do you say its not hip hop
Logan Turner
this is a personal favourite but their albums are nowhere near consistent enough to be all-time greats
Jace Sanders
yeah this
James Collins
popping? what are we popping?
Ayden Brooks
iffy, uh
Aaron Wright
Can confirm
Brayden Torres
Noah Brooks
No your just a mark. Early canibus had the entire industry on his dick
Joshua Gomez

silly(iffy) nigga detected
Aiden Brown
don't mind me just being the best hip-hop album
Evan Collins
not even dre's best album
Cooper Wilson
Austin Perez
56% / 100
Colton Fisher
An emerging art form got turned into niggery and yo i gots dis stuff. NY hip hop from the 70s and 80s shits all over the fucking nigger criminal garbage
Chase Brooks
>lyrical content dictates quality of music
shut the fuck up brainlet, I'll give you De La Soul because they were better than anything that came at least 15 years after but don't even try
Caleb Reyes
I've never properly looked at this album cover before, man it's fucking creepy
Daniel Bailey
Oh? Jazz, bebop and blues inspired music is better than 3 second looped "beats" with absolute garbage vocals and lyrics on top?
I'll give you something, I totally forgot Low End Theory was a 90s release not late 80s. After that you could definitely call the genre dead
Grayson Reed
It cant be too bad if tommy Wright III is on it
Cameron Harris
Seriously pit that basic shit against most classic hip-hop albums from the 00's and 10's - of course they're essential but most of them are horrendously dated and don't hold a candle whatsoever to the intricacies of the production of a solid modern hip-hop album.
It's not their fault either, we've just moved on, your favourites are antiquated, we're all tired of them
Asher Harris
>muh production
Polished turds
Henry Green
>ahh yes I'll just relax to this inferior music while I enjoy all these wholesome lyrics which make the music better because it's wholesome and not degenerate at all
come out your shelter you fucking child
Jason Gutierrez
Wait, you actually like the final version of Pablo? It's dogshit, the original release has so much more charm to it. And I don't tucking know what the fuck you're going on about, MBTDF is his best hands down
Jaxon King
Debate with me
Matthew Gonzalez
Production isn't anything special that hasn't already been done before, and he is a decent rapper but he pitch shifts his fucking voice too much, not to mention his voice is garbage anyway
Jack Moore
Hey, Anthony
James Ross
the production is the biggest redeeming factor of this album
Grayson Jackson
Can't say I'm a fan of it
Carson Taylor
Either this or Aceyalone's Book of Human Language.
Jaxon Ross
hilarious how youngfags actually think to pimp a butterfly has ANYTHING on 36 chambers.
William Watson
Not a huge Kendrick fan, but 36 Chambers is boring as fuck.
Jayden Howard
No 36 chambers is classic from the instant you hear BRING DA MUTHAFUCKIN RUCKIS
Nathaniel Rogers
oblivion access is better
Camden Sullivan
I wish it brought a ruckus. Everything from the production to the rapping falls so flat for me.
Dominic Smith
So much better than Illmatic too
Camden Gray
Not really. I enjoyed Illmatic much more, the production side of things isn't nearly as one-dimensional and I like Nas' timbre and rhymes more than anybody from Wu Tang.
Jose Hernandez
If you say so, personally I think I may stand for everything you don't stand for, we might be natural born enemies
Eli Gomez
Let's fuck.
Benjamin Reyes
I'd rather not, I'm asexual
