What is the most perfect--not a single bad track--hip hop album of all time?

A. Beastie Boys -- Paul's Boutique

B. Tribe Called Quest -- Low End Theory

C. Public Enemy -- It Take a Nation of Millions

D. It's 2006. Shut up, old man.

i vote D ;)
this is a more up to date list:

1 ~ yukmouth - thug lord: new testament
2 ~ ice-t - 7th deadly sin
3 ~ above the law - time will reveal

still my all time favourites.

don't forget about nas - illmatic...

D is by far the best ! :D

D..............

jay-z -reasonable doubt
nas-illmatic
tribe called quest-low end theory

A. Beastie Boys -- Paul's Boutique

Exactely what I thought before I opened the thread

nas is the most boring, monotone rapper ever...

people always put illmatic on a pedestal, that shit is gay...

Genius - Liquid Swords
Snoop - Doggystyle

both flawless

Those are pretty good.

I would add:


- Cypress Hills III Temples Of Boom
- Wu Tang Forever
- Gravediggaz 6 feet deep

No doubt I'm originally from Queens, and that's a must have. Plus Notorious b. i. g Ready to die.:2 cents:

Yes, both great.

The second GZA album was VERY good too: Beneath the Surface.

Dr Dre - The Chronic

end of discussion

The thread was precipitated by Paul's Boutique. I listened to it tonight for the first time in i don't know how long....maybe eight years.

Every fucking song on that album is a lock. But I gotta say the same thing about low end theory, too.

You forgot "Snow - 12 Inches of Snow"

Dr Dre's Chronic :)

Tupac Shakur is the best rapper ever

dr dre, the chronic 2001

or eminem, the marshall mathers lp

:thumbsup

Although I'm not a gangsta fan per se, I would have to say Doggystyle is one of my highest rated albums, so much gold on that release.

Pauls Boutique and Low End Theory are also great choices. Illmatic is another one.

Dr. Dre's The Chronic
Snoop - Doggystyle
Master P - Ice Cream Man
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter
Kool Moe Dee - Greatest Hits
Grandmaster Flash (everything)

Dr. Dre's The Chronic

36 Chambers is my favorite

Don't forget "Nigga Dick Brown" and his debut album: "A Nigga's Gotta Fuck Dog".. Thats the shizzy on my izzy my nizzy. wh0rd. :winkwink:

nas - illmatic

hes extremely overrated due to the dying and media attention.... hes good but def. not the best

1. Run dmc any of them
2. Dr dre the chronic
3. Naughty by nature (the first one)
4. Beastie Boys licensed to ill (yea yea i know but it really hit when it dropped)

ll cool j - radio
sir mix a lot - swass
eazy e - eternal e
tone loc - loc-ed after dark

indeed.
:thumbsup

Dr.Dre - 2001
Bone Thugs n Harmony - All albums..

snoop - doggystyle
nas - illmatic

lil wayne - the carter (part 1), is really the best "new" album.

and of course the B.I.G stuff.

Wu-Tang - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Nas - Illmatic
Biggie - Ready to die
Onyx - Bacdafucup
Dr. Dre - Chronic
Eazy-E - It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa
Run DMC - Down with the king

Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP

Sold over 1.7 million domestic copies in its first week. :pimp

thats 4 cd's of great music.. I cant think of any other rapper or group besides wu-tang and outkast with 4 great discs like that.

De La Soul - 3 feet high
NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Tribe - Low End Theory


Probably the only ones that I was happy to listen to without skipping or ffwding all through. I didn't own so many cassettes and discs though.

Whodini - Escape

I also agree with 90 percent of all the suggestions already in this thread.

outkast - aquemini
tha dogg pound - dogg food
jay z - reasonable doubt
N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton
