Members Bracesup Posted April 17, 2005 Members Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Too many to count. Most of the 80s or 90s rappers would have brought out atleast one good classic album to add to their credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotzappa11 Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 9- Beastie Boys "Licensed To Ill Picking on this for a second. They're my favourite band but it's amazing how such a jokey album got so big and it overshadowed mostly all their career. I belive "Pauls Boutique" should be there instead because along with De La Soul's "3 feet...." it changed sampling as an art. But you dont have to agree :hilarious: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hey I found a link with MTV's list of the 10 greatest albums of all time, for some of these mcs there it wasn't there best albums, and I thought "Illmatic" was ranked too high, "It Takes A Nation Of Millions" should switch places with that one, and there was no JJFP, KRS-ONE, or LL on the list, but at least they put "Paid In Full" at #1. http://www.mtv.com/bands/h/hip_hop_week/20...5/index11.jhtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EBrew Posted May 5, 2005 Members Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) I think it's to hard for me to pick just one. I'd have to say that Paid In Full (Eric B. & Rakim), It Takes A Nation (Public Enemy), Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (Outkast), Doggystyle (Snoop Dogg), and The Great Adventures of Slick Rick (Slick Rick) would make up my personal top 5. Not necessarily in that order. Edited May 5, 2005 by EBrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbfprince Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 i cant believe It Takes A Nation of Millions is #10 on the list. :toetap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
