That's what I was thinking. But that's why I mentioned it. =p

[G-Style]

I can't even begin to answer this question. It's like asking a parent which child they love more. Gees I mean The whole Biggie 2-Pac thing brought out a ton of great albums and then you have to think of Public Enemy and NWA....or Wu Tang and Tribe....Then Dre Solo and Snoop.....Hey Jay Z and you have to mention Eminem whos broken all records for a rapper and a white one at that. The music has too much talent over the years to put my finger on one artist let alone one album!

All Eyez on Me - Tupac

[Raver_O.G]

WSC does rip it pretty hardcore...


There are a LOT of smaller groups that have just totally rocked the hip hop scene though...Slug & Murs, Anticon, Eyedea & Abilities, Buck 65, Deep Puddle Dynamics, Jedi Mind Tricks, etc etc its fucking tough to pic the best.


Definitely a MAD word to NWA though...those boys started most of this shit we see today.

Notorious BIG - Ready to die
2Pac - All Eyez on Me

no kiddin man. there's just no way i can single out albums. so many styles and so much talent.. dre and snoop have been ownin the scene for how long now?? then you could get into all the great hiphop albums.. eminems new stuff is pretty good. good producing. 2pac and biggie definitely need mentioning. jedi mind tricks etc i need to find out what kind of equipment dre/snoop use , for when i get my own recording studio. i can't wait for immortal techniques new album its gunna be off the hook. im not positive of when its coming but somewhat soon. i love 213s new album, tons of hot tracks on there. MLK , gangst clique, ups and downs, sweet songs..

[wigglesworth]

Have you guys only been listening to rap for the last 8 years?

no mentions of anything old school really 'cept for ebbomega.

i got two more, the adventures of slick rick, and licensed to ill.

ps bowdown is very very very very very very very far off being the greatest rap album of all time. mack 10 is a joke.

wu-tang clan - 36 chambers
eric b & rakim - paid in full
KRS / BDP - by any means necessary, return of the boom bap
pete rock & cl smooth - mecca & the soul brother
gang starr - step in the arena
de la soul - ... is dead
run dmc - raising hell
epmd - unfinished business
ATCQ - the low end theory

i'd have trouble narrowing those down to just one...
