Ok I'd put the Fix ahead of Reasonable doubt but thats it. The Infamous might be good but ahead of Ready to die? I dont think so.

Paid in full is a good choice. I feel instead of arguing over a top 5 we should create THE top 10 hip hop albums of all time. That would be far easier.

I enjoy Wu Tang's music but do not plau 36 chambers anymore.

Those are my 5 favorite not the top 5 ever.

The Infamous has one of the best rap songs of all time.......so do the math dumb ass.

You're an idiot.

lol

Why? Because I'm expressing an opinion?

Because that's not your opinion.lol

You're a dumb shit with rap man and you're just saying what everyone else is saying.

The Infamous has one of the best rap songs of all time.......so do the math dumb ass.#

Just because it has a classic song in it doesn't make it a good album (although the Infamous is a great album). I jus dont rate it that high.

So why don't you rate it that high? Teach me, master...

The way I see it is this...

Ready to Die dropped and I got that shit, I loved it to death and still will play it on a summer day. Its a great album but to me the ones I play the most are those 5 I named. Ready to Die would be in that top 10 of my list. Paid In Full is a classic no doubt, but I do not bump it. I respect it and still think Rakim could be the best MC ever, I respect their music but rarely play it these days. The last Eric B and Rakim album I played was Dont Sweat the Techinque, I still will play that every now and then. I respect the classics but the Top 5 are made up of the ones you consistantley love and play. Not just generic lists with the obvious choices to show "Hip Hop Knowledge" by saying 36 Chambers or Ready to Die.

Exactly, sis, exactly...

To say you constantly pump Enter the Wu-Tang a lot is bullshit...same goes with Paid in Full and such.

Well I listed my top 5 favourite albums. Not the ones I play all the time as I haven't played my Enter the wu tang Cd for about 2 yrs. My Illmatic cd has been gathering dust too. If it was ones that I have been listening to a lot lately, my list would be:

Only built for cuban linx-Raekwon
The W- Wu tang Clan
Reasonable Doubt- Jay Z
Streets Disciple- Nas
All eyes on me- Tupac
Marshal Mather LP- Eminem

Raging if you make a thread.. "The Top 5 Albums that Changed Hip Hop" My answers would be different then my favorite 5 albums. You cant pin down the Greatest Albums ever, its opinon.

There you go...that's your opinion.

One moment Smokin'. Read the title of the thread. Does it say 'top 5 albums of all time'? I thought so. And I previously listed that. And now I have just listed my top 5 most played recently. I dont claim to know a lot about rap. And them 5 cds ARE my favourite.

I always enjoyed All Eyez on Me for the summer/ party scene.

The Infamous has one of the best rap songs of all time.......so do the math dumb ass.

So by that logic, the FIne Young Cannibals made one of the best pop/rock songs ever......making them one of the best bands ever?

I was just listening to this last weekend.

so many to name

Cypress Hill-III:Temples of Boom
MF DOOM-Operation DOOMSday
Raekwon-Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Outkast-Aquemini
Bone Thugs N Harmony-The Art of War

Dr. Dre - The Chronic
Cee-Lo - The Soul Machine
Tupac - All Eyez On Me
Too many fall after these three..

Five that spring to mind straight away are


ICE T - Original Gangster

Snoop Dogg - Doggy Style

Ice Cube - The Predator

Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers

NWA - Straight Outta Compton

No order:

Ice Cube - Death Certificate
Nas - Illmatic
Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Big L - Lifestyles Ov Da Poor And Dangerous (extremely underated)

So many more could have been there: The Chronic, Enter 36 Chambers, Me Against The World, Ready To Die etc

Reasonable Doubt
All eyez on me
Illmatic
It's Dark And Hell Is Hot
Marshall Mathers LP


Paid in Full and Blueprint just miss out

errrmmmm

Joint 1st- Nas-Illmatic & Biggie-Ready To Die
2nd- Biggie - Life After death
3rd- 2pac - All Eyez on Me
4th - Dr Dre - 2001
5th - Eminem - Marshall Mathers

mind you my except for my joint 1st the rest on my top 5 keeps constantly changing....

"All Eyez On Me" I reckon is overated. Sure it's got a few of Pac's best songs on it but the rest is filler. Now if you want to hear a real Pac album then 'Me Against The World" is that album

Here are my favorite and all of them had a huge impact in the game in some way. These albums are all commmercially acclaimed and have the quality music to back it up. There are so many other great albums but this is how I see it.

Nas- Illmatic
2pac- All Eyez On Me
Dr. Dre- The Chronic
Snoop Dogg- Doggystyle
Notorious B.I.G.
