[Mr. J]

lol'd @ Release Therapy

[oats]

kannon good call on k-os and knaan, but dude, Get Rich or Die Tryin at 100? That's crazy talk. props to going all the way to 100 though, top 20 was hard for me haha

[Ghost1]

Supreme clientelle 93!?!?

Need I push forward?

[Ghost1]

The fix 82!?!?

If I could neg from phone u'd be red


Consider urself negged in spirit

[Adonis]

Gonna downloadable links for like 20 these.

No currency though. Also, for me personally, fabulous - soul tape 3 is probably top 5 at least

[Ghost1]

These r albums pookie

[uh-oh]

Kan i love you and know that you enjoy nerd rap so i wont touch on that, but just know that you put an action bronson tape/album above get rich or die trying.

Just know you did that.

[kannon]

I kinda hate Get Rich or Die Trying, to be honest. When I was narrowing down my 100, I had it at like 107, but I knew yall would crucify me if I left it off completely haha.

Scarface and ghostface both prolly woulda been higher, but honestly I havent listened to either album in years and don't remember much about either one at this point. If I relistened, I'm sure I'd end up moving them up. I remember really liking especially the Fix when they came out.

[oats]

kannon you ever listen to Wordsworth? if so, thoughts?

[jilti]

Game- the Documentary is #1 to me. Most ridiculous production i ever heard on a single album. Aannnddd he was hungry lyrically at the time kinda like a young snoop

[timeless]

ROFL @ this list.

Blu & exile no. 1 u can't be serious

The fact that currensy and j.Cole are even mentioned makes me want to throw up. Labor days at 98? Get rich at 100?

Lmao action Bronson?

Mac Miller?!?!?!?! The fuck?!

Everything else looks OK tho.

Mmlp should be higher.

[Ghost1]

It's awesome. It really is. Number one is a stretch tho.......Def top 10

[Ghost1]

kannon you ever listen to Wordsworth? if so, thoughts?

Lol wordsworth....shit bring me back

U ever listen to lyricist lounge volume 1.....the double disc?

Man....that shit is awesome to me front to back.

[Diode]

Kan i love you and know that you enjoy nerd rap so i wont touch on that, but just know that you put an action bronson tape/album above get rich or die trying.

Just know you did that.

lol'd hard at this

[Izzy Reef]

100-1 = Justin Bieber - Purpose

[jilti]

It's awesome. It really is. Number one is a stretch tho.......Def top 10

What is your #1?

[Ghost1]

Prolly blueprint

[Inno]

Knaan, that dude is dope

Reps

[The Dead Poet]

you guys really like your eminiem. I liked the mmlp when it came out and all but I doubt i'd put it on my 100 album list.

Wat


Even if u don't like him u can't deny the impact of that album

Of course it belongs in the 100....shit man honestly it belongs in top 10

[The Dead Poet]

the impact is the only thing it has going for it. I don't think I could make it through two songs before having to cut it off now. Which, to me, isn't the same as other classic that have owned my life (buhloone mindstate, aquimini, & fantastic vol 2). That's just me though.

EDIT - Yes I'm aware none of those are from 2000 on(except fantastic). I'm just saying it hasn't held weight to me over the years....and the albums I mentioned came out way before it and have stood up fine through out time.

[oats]

I rarely listen to MMLP, but when a random song comes on my itunes, I always dig it. Who Knew came on the other day and I still remembered nearly every lyric. idk, I think it's one of the most obvious classics since 2000, even though I don't connect with it like I did when I was in middle school.

[kannon]

kannon you ever listen to Wordsworth? if so, thoughts?

Oh shit, I didn't see Mirror Music on any of the yearly lists I was looking at while compiling this, but I remember that album came out like 04-05, right when I moved out to NY, and I used to play that shit non stop. Should probably be on my list, word.

SHIT. Did I leave Slum Village's Detroit Deli off too? That album must have come out around the same time as Wordsworth. I remember copping them around the same time. And Lil Wayne's first Carter album...

[kannon]

I feel you, honestly. At the time of its release, I felt like MMLP was trying to push the envelope for pushing the envelope's sake. Listening back now, I can kind of appreciate it more for what it is, and there is a handful of undeniably dope joints on there (just not The Real Slim Shady).

[trap]

You missed

The LOX - We Are The Streets
dead:prez - Let's Get Free
Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele
DITC - Self-Titled
Beanie Sigel - The Truth
Del - Both Sides Of The Brain
Dilated Peoples - The Platform
Jedi Mind Tricks - Violent By Design
Deltron 3030 - Self-titled
Ludacris - Back For The First Time
Binary Star - Masters Of The Universe


And that was just 2000.

[Mr. J]

props for having the Minstrel Show though...I would have had that higher...way higher

[trap]

Definitely.
Minstrel Show is a bonafide classic...as well as The Listening.

I liked The Listening more just because it felt more organic but the polished feel of The Minstrel Show is just as good.

[Joe Metts]

Props on making a list.

My list would be extremely different tho.

[Mr. J]

Ludacris - Back For The First Time

https://cdn.meme.am/images/300x/2013030.jpg

[Ghost1]

Wilin. That Luda was.dope as fuck.

[Split Eight]

The fix 82!?!?

Consider urself negged in spirit

I got u chief

[Ghost1]

Good man.

[Destroyer]

only skimmed looking for blazing arrow

carry on

I had dead prez, ghostface and deltron on there.
...actually, that dead prez may have gotten bumped.

And just know that I actively left Jedi Mind Tricks off. Vinnie Paz is garbage.

[timeless]

Fucking neg

You dissapoint me.

[Ghost1]

Neg him again for me. Smh.

[The Dead Poet]

vinnie paz is fucking horrible. As is jedi mind tricks. You bro's must be white.

[Ghost1]

Stfu uh oh lite

[uh-oh]

I fuck with paz. Probably more accurate to say fucked with paz.

But i dont think id put any jedi mind tricks albums on a top 100. Maybe their first one but that was the 90s right? When jus allah actually rapped instead of saying 32 short statements that rhyme in every verse lol

violent by design deserves a top 100 nod.

[Pharaohs Army]

Years ago, Nighthawks by Cage & Camu Tao kind of changed the way I look at rap, widened my scope beyond traditional shit.

And I don't even like Cage solo (other than a couple songs), but the album is really cool.
(concept album about some crooked cops) A little bit contrived? Maybe. But original and dope.

[Geno]

wordsworth dope though quaker oats

[Ghost1]

Lmao

[Pharaohs Army]

Yeah it's loosely based on an old Sly Stallone film Nighthawks from 1981.

I was more drawn to the beats&rhymes than the fact that it's a concept album. Go figure.

[Mr. J]

Im still loln at Release Therapy..







after looking at this list again the numbers are off but there are some great albums here

[emcee squared]
