This is what I have so far.
>>65376382
Every album is a concept album
Yeah you're definitely white
>>65376382
obligatory deltron 3030
also whats unduns concept
dont really remember that album
>>65376401
It's a story told in reverse chronological order about a guy named Redford (after the Sufjan Stevens song) who was forced into a life of crime and ends up dying.
Liquid Swords, Enter the 36 Chambers, Midnight Marauders, Straight Outta Compton, Paul's Boutique, The Chronic, etc
>>65376475
whoops, didn't see the part about concept albums
>>65376382
dr octagonecologyst
the ziggurat
take me to your leader should replace madvillainy
disposable arts
hold it right there you fucking cucks
THIS is the must hear concept album
>>65376382
36 chambers, liquid swords, the cold vein.
>>65376382
can u lemme know what the concept is too
I'm not seein this shit
E&A - By The Throat
>>65376382
also, OP, try to limit to one per artist, that makes it more diverse. So for my money, I'd go with GKMC as the choice for Kendrick's concept album
>>65376422
So he's revived from the dead and eventually weens off of crime?
>>65376522
I don't feel like 36 chambers or liquid swords have the cohesive concept like I'm looking for with this chart. I like the albums though. Never listened to the Cold Vein, what is the concept behind it?
>>65376573
Yeah, I agree. GKMC is a much more cohesive piece as far as topic goes.
Updated version.
Bumping for update.
>>65376947
make constructus #1 retard
try Dare Iz A Darkside
>>65376947
LMAO!
If you're going to pick a CunninLynguists album to represent concept albums, then why in the fuck would you pick Ornithology? A Piece of Strange is far superior not only conceptually but musically.

>>65377035
Don't listen to Cunninlynguists, my friend told me to include Oneirology.
>>65377119
Almost done.
>>65376511
what is it?
>>65377223
Constructus Corporation - the Ziggurat
>>65377218
Time? Astonishing! by Kool Keith and L'Orange
Kid Koalas Space Cadet
>A 132-page graphic novel drawn entirely on etchboards. It is accompanied by a "still picture score" of music composed and recorded by Kid Koala. This charming story of an adventurous space cadet and her guardian robot touches on the relationship between technology and isolation. The use of etchboards have given Koala’s trademark pathos-drenched tales of love and loneliness a whole new depth and beauty.
Wax Tailors Dusty Rainbow From The Dark
>A concept album telling the story of a young boy's discovery of the evocative power of music, the album includes narrative interludes by Don McCorkindale, who participated in the radio version of The Avengers series. Editing out the storyline is made possible by the inclusion on the album of 2 radio edits for the songs "Heart Stop" and "Time to Go". The album's cover, representing the story's main protagonist, was drawn by French illustrator Rebecca Dautremer.
>>65377244
I think he meant the concept?
A Prince Among Thieves by Prince Paul
>>65376382
The Cool
J Dilla-Donuts
>>65377346
like 5 songs on that contribute to the concept, it shouldn't really count
>>65377218
Replace MBTDF with Liquid Swords faggot niggee
>>65377459
Or I can keep both. Any more changes?
>>65376382
>KDot and Ye
wew lad
>>65376398
this
>>65377505
REMOVE YE YOU FUCKEN MONGOLOID
Buck 65 - Talkin' Honky Blues
>>65377505
Your chart looks even worse now
>>65377598
I'm not removing one of the most critically acclaimed hip hop concept albums of all time from a list of essential hip hop concept albums.
>>65377633
Its fine, Kanye makes pop.
>black people
>must be hip hop
What is the concept to Eydea & Abilities - By The Throat? It's just a regular album as far as I know...
>>65376398
at least he's not a nigger
>>65377642
pop music does not mean it isn't hip hop, the terms are not mutually exclusive, pop is simply any easily consumable commercially-oriented music
>>65377633
pffft album was mediocre , if im being generous
>>65377703
That would be popular music, not the same thing.
If you are using pop as a catchall then best add Frank Sinatra and The Antlers too.
>>65377749
MBDTF is still hip-hop though. There are some pop songs on there (Blame Game, Devil In A New Dress) but the majority of the songs on there are hip-hop.
>>65377749
This
>>65377633
kys you dumb faggit shit
>>65377783
in what way is devil in a blue dress not a hip hop song?
>>65377792
>>65377792
there isn't one pop song that isn't really some other style of music, pop music = popular music, how would you mark the difference?
>>65377857
>>65377857
Remove that mediocre album
by the definition of pop being "popular" that pretty much means even slayer, metallica, mastodon, iron maiden, and black sabbath are pop
>just adding every suggestion you get to a chart instead of actually quality checking them
thinly veiled rec thread fuck off
>>65377886
thats not what anyone ever said, if you think that, you read it wrong...
A Prince Among Thieves
>>65377929
>>65377835
Good choices.
>>65377884
what, i didn't nominate it?
whats the concept behind mbdtf, im dying to know
>anti-kanyefags shitting up the thread because an album they don't like is on this chart
Holy fuck, I though Kanye stans were bad.
>>65377305
>thug album
What a concept.
>>65378006
Fame, self loathing, media perception, money, self awareness, guilt, hypocrisy.
>>65378024
ok those are all individual themes
concept albums tell an overarching narrative
>>65378043
Is that not obvious? All of those individual themes relate to fame.
>>65378009
I've no problem with Kanye.
I just don't see why he would be put on a hip hop chart?
>>65378079
here's your bait back
>>65378089
>hes black
>must be hip hop
Idiot.
>>65377914
I didn't though. I've heard like 2/3 of these albums at least.
this
>>65378103
How is MBDTF not a hip hop album? I dare you to explain this to any hip hop fan in real life.
>>65378103
I don't eat abc bait.
Is OP still here?
>>65378188
yes?
>>65378192
Are you adding albums to the list? Add these:
>>65377835
>>65377929
>>65377835
why is this a concept album?
what's the concept?
it's a great release btw, just interested in why it's being included
>>65378218
List is full. I've listened to the aesop album and it isn't really a concept album. Prince among Thieves is on there.
>>65378249
>>65378269
It's a concept album about work and labor and the struggle of the day to day grind.
do you fucks not know what a concept album is? i see a bunch of suggestions that while good hip-hop albums are NOT concept albums
>>65378279
I love Aesop Rock but it's not a concept album
>>65378280
Since they obviously don't know you sound autistic for asking.
>>65378294
It's quite obviously a concept album. I don't care if you think Wikipedia is an unreliable source or not. If you've listened to it like I think you have then you should be able to realise that it's a concept album.
>>65378112
I really, really hate how the first track is the best on that album, and the rest just doesn't hold a candle to it. And then they have the gall to put the stupid fucking "we da bes here's a feature of a friend of ours" track. Where Light Was Created is the superior concept album.
>>65376536
Fucking how?
>>65378280
You right. I think ima cut it to a 3x3. How's this?
>>65378369
There are so many more. Add Labor Days you fucking faggot. I can't believe all of you think it's NOT a concept album.
>>65378369
lmao madvillainy isnt a fuckin concept album
>>65378369
I'm not sure Disposable Arts' concept is strong enough to be on there. It definitely has a concept, but just not a really strong one like the other albums.
Gangsta version of GKMC.
>>65378369
>>65378383
ziggurat isn't either
>>65378383
What should I replace it with then?
>>65378369
You're the shittest fucking cunt op. Neck yourself.
>>65378369
KYS
>>65378393
new album in a couple of weeks! !

>>65378530
I loved the song he just released man.
This thread is retarded OP go kill yourself
i dont think op really understands any of these albums

I want summer to be over so bad
>>65376536
Eyedea is my favourite artist of all time, but that's not even his best album, and I never really got the impression that it was a concept album.
>>65376947
How is By The Throat a concept album?
>>65376382
Explain to me in detail how Madvillainy is a concept album.
>>65380761
the superhero theme throughout
>>65376397
nice meme
>>65381485
>detail
either way its boring
Twelve Reasons To Die - Ghostface Killa
My favourite hip-hop album is Sonne=Blackbox by Ursula Bogner
>>65378530
All the singles so far have been better than anything on MKL
