What's the best hip-hop album of all time and why is it Liquid Swords?
>>
it's definetely a contender.
My top 5 is something like

Liquid Swords
Black on Both Sides
The Low End Theory
Deltron 3030
Uptown Saturday Night

Off the top of my head.
>>
>>63544188
Only albums that can challenge it are Midnight Marauders and Illmatic
>>
>>63544273
Good list but I feel like it's missing somr
>>
>>63544188
My top three is:
1. Illmatic
2. Madvilliany
3. Liquid Swords
So, yeah, you've got a point
>>
THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING OVERRATED
>>
Well, it's not Fantastic vol 2 or Late Registration, so I don't know what you mean there buddy

MBDTF is a really close second though

Are you 16?

Only people that are 16 or have listened to under 500 hip hop albums think that's the best rap album of all time, or even primarily listen to hip hop from the northeastern US. Grow up.

Loosen up your fedora a little bit, guy
>>
>>63546852

are we talking part one, part two red, part two blue? or all of them, plus the grey tapes?

>>63547007
and what would you say? Part Two (Blue and red, but blue especially) is a pretty solid contender. I'm a fan of Leanin on a Switch, Done Deal, and Stressed Out.

>>63547064
That's one of the worst Scarface albums dumbass. At least Mr. Scarface, the Untouchable, and Last of a Dying Breed are better than it.
>>
>>63547119
I agree with Mr Scarface and maybe Untouchable, but deffo not Last of a Dying Breed
>>
It's this but Liquid Swords is definitely very close.

that good good feel when dirty south and underground midwest and west coast hip hop has been making a resurgence the past couple of years. Get the fuck out of here east coast boom bam dickriders

The popular opinion would be Low End Theory because Phife just died.

>>63548443
Prolly my favourite Doom though, although I only actually own this, The Mouse And The Mask, Vaudeville Villain, Take Me To Your Leader and NehruvianDOOM.

I wasn't a big fan of MM.. Food, but I did like his shit with Grimm. What else should I check out?
>>
>>63548443
>non-American hip-hop is fucking terrible desu

opinion not only plen but stupid
>>
>>
>>63548464

I don't think there are any 10/10 hip-hop albums yet honestly, and the only ones above 9 (as in 9.5) would be Liquid Swords, MBDTF and NLDW.

1. Illmatic
2. 808's and Heartbreaks
3. 2001

2001 has like 6 legendary songs and then shit tons of filler

i've listened to pretty much all of the hip hop "classics" and I have to say liquid swords is some of the most overrated shit i've heard. its just fucking boring i don't get what you guys like about it so much.
>>
>>63551893
i've heard almost literally every album posted in this thread so far and liquid swords is pretty close to the bottom for me.
