Agreed.That album as a whole is fantastic.Kanye is really under appreciated

hip hop not rap, I'd go with Common BE. Every track was fantastic. Love his flow.

Ok, question.

Can kanye go pound for pound with nas?

@utotheg38: Lyrically? no...But besides that,yes

AS in beats,swagg (LOL), etc.?

Not swag lol.But like His whole charisma,his lines hit with me more than nas ever did.He always sounded better sonically to me

Thought that was swagg.LOL

So you like him not because of the substance/Quality of his lyrics but by the way he says It. Gotcha

XD

Cydel Young - Royal Flush

Is my pic for best album of all time.

Lol. I was going come in here and say Illmatic..

But I'll go with Eric B. & Rakim Paid in Full or Public Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.

@utotheg38: I thought you meant swag as in like the way he dresses.. thats how people always use that word so i figured thats what you meant.And No.Im not saying he could just say anything and id like it because the way he says it.Im saying that the lyrics he wrote,and the presentation of these lyrics as a whole is better than Nas's.Nas may be able to write better metaphors and fit more multi-syllable words into a verse,but that really doesn't mean anything to me if all of it sounds dull on record.Which to me, Nas always did.He sounded dull

lol I was asking, I truly don't know what swagg Is. 90's kid so I've never used that word before.

And as for the other part. Fair enough. XD

@_slim_: I feel so bad as a hip hop fan to have never heard Paid In Full...I can never find any download links on the internet anywhere

Revolutionary Volume 2 - Immortal Technique

(100% Art)

Torrents are a good bet/ or filestube and download the whole disc.

Illmatic

Probably one of these. I don't like Illmatic (or Nas for that matter) but it's an acceptable answer.

1) good kid m.A.A.d City

2) TheBlueprint

3) My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

4) Illmatic

5) Lifestyle ov da Poor & Dangerous

Logic - Young Sinatra

@wolverine08@laflux Thoughts?

@dccomicsrule2011:

The Based Print 2 trumps all!

Only just saw this.

Illmatic and GKMC are probably my top two IMO

Slightly below that is stuff like College Dropout, Bastard, Blueprint 3, XXX, Section 80, Recovery, Marshall Mathers LP.

Below that is stuff like I'm Gay, Wolf, Doris, Teflon Don, Attention Deficit, Thank me Later...

....

This is just including straight albums. If we include mixtapes than Odd Future Mixtape, Young Sinatra, 1999, Overly Dedicated would make the list too.

Funnily enough I think as a legimate album I'm Gay is really good. Clams Casino is so underratted as a producer its not funny.

Edit- Didn't know Logic was so popular. Good, the guy seems really nice and has a good drive. Charlamagne was giving a bit of stick, but he handled it well :)

1. Eminem Show.
2. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
3. Good kid Mad city.
4. 36 Chambers.
5. Food & Liquor 2.

I made this list 5 days ago. Still agree with it for the most part.

I don't listen to a lot of hip-hop, but my favorite album in the genre is Ill Communication.

WOW is this a subjective question. I'm in no position to say what is the GOAT album, but my personal top 5 go as....

"Illmatic" - NAS

"Midnight Marauders" - A Tribe Called Quest

"The Marshall Mathers LP" - Eminem

"Follow the Leader" - Eric B & Rakim

"Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" - Outkast

...I could go on, but these are the top 5 off the top of my head.
