Favorite Hip-Hop Album

[Soul_Patch]

So i just started listening to the new Talib Kweli album...and i was wondering what everyone's fav hiphop album is...from any era...

i think today's hiphop is horrible, i think it lost a lot of what it started about and is now just sensationalized BS that the corporate engine is spi ng out...but anyway...


favorite album..

Mos Def -- Blackstar

[CuckingFunt]

Of all time? "Raising " by RUN DMC would have to get the nod just because it was the album that really introduced me to hip hop.

I've had several "favorites" since then, however. And, since they've been showing commercials for the new album, I've been listening to Kweli's "Quality" a lot lately, which is just outstanding.

Hip-Hop used to all sound different.....diff. styles and beats......creative. Now you hardly ever hear a creative song.

Mine??..........Hmmmmm........
there are so many......I have to go with Tribe Called Quest, Eric B. and Raquim, digital underground.........Das EFX....Fushnickins...... !!!! See what I mean!!! Too many to list. I love Old School Hip-Hop.

I like that one song by TI "Big things poppin" I don't care for the rest of the album at all.

[Thunder Dan]

Illmatic or The Love Below by Andre 3000 for my first, and I listen to ATCQ's Anthology alot, but that shouldnt couldnt since its a greatest hits

Reasonable Doubt is the most overrated album in the history of hip hop. D'Evils is incredible and Cashmere Thoughts is a great song too, but the rest of the album is so-so.
