Tim MUT.. back then I don't know anybody that listened to NY music tbh.. it was all West Coast for us in the early 90's
Thanks guys.
Now I’m gonna go broke buying albums again (yes I still buy albums)

East Coast has always put out much better hip hop than West Coast IMO.
I don't consider anything the West Coast made to even be "hip hop" thats an east coast term in itself.. and I think it's all trash
Good times tbh
Stoupe is dope.
Also, cant go wrong with anything De La Soul. Art Official Intelligence is an under rated classic for turn-of-the-century.
Damn can't believe I forgot De La, though I gotta go with 3 Feet High & Rising as my favorite from them.
I loved West Coast hip hop up to The Chronic, but everyone biting Dre's style got old fast.
Just avoid ty hyphee. Hyphee is like the stale fat of antiquated West Coast rap. Worst than the worst screwed album.
Stale fart.*
The Predator too.
Tretch is one of the more underrated rappers tbh
I've always thought NWA was overrated, once Ice Cube left, it was downhill fast. Even on SOC the only tracks I love are Express Yourself, Gangsta, Gangsta, and tha Police. Illmatic is still number 1
Jay-Z: Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album, American Gangster (shockingly slept on)
NaS-Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes.
Biggie-The Greatest hits is a bit of a cash in, I would just get Ready to Die
Fugees- Same with the greatest hits, The Score is all you need.
ATCQ-Their first 3 and last album (People's instinctive travels..., Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders, Thank You For Your Service)
Outkast-ATLiens, Aquienmi, Stankonia
Wu Tang- 36 Chambers, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (Raekwon), Iron Man, Supreme Clientele (Ghost Face), Liquid Swords ( GZA)
Big L- Lifestyles ov da Poor and Dangerous
2pac-I'd settle for his Greatest hits (the double disc from from a couple of years after he died), its missing "Holla If You Hear Me"- his best song but its gets it mostly right, plus has "Changes" and three other good previously unreleased tracks.
Ice Cube-Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Death Certificate (most copies come with Kill at Will- his EP from around that time), and the Predator.
Dr. Dre-The Chronic
Eminem-Slim Shady LP, MMLP, Eminem Show
Kanye- College Dropout, Late Registration, MDTF,
Kendrick-Good Kid Maadd City, To Pimp A Buttterfly, Damn.
Scarface-Mr. Scarface is Back, The Diary
^Thats a pretty good start
IDK about Express Yourself. I thought that was one of the weakest tracks on the album as Dre is the weakest rapper in the crew. If I was going to pick a top 3 songs from that album they'd probably be Gangster Gangster, If it Ain't Ruff, and Straight Outta Compton.
Need to revisit this one but I remember liking it.
Pete Rock N CL Smoove
Lords of the Underground
Das EFX
Gangstarr
The End also a good listen
If that's the album with "Bridgette" on it, that's good . Sad his career was cut short. Apparently he got his voice back tho.
courtesy of Veterinarian iirc
DJ Quik had some good too.
I mentioned this in the other thread, but a great album that flew under the radar in the 90's was Conversation by The Twinz. West coast G-Funk at its best.
MC Eiht............ Straight up Menace........ G-Up!!
