god tier hip-hop/rap albums
Reflection Eternal.
>>65982161
aight this is the first time ive done this but in all honesty fuck this album. ppl always discuss this like it's the purest form of jazz rap when really there's nothing inherently jazzy about the production, but since it has crisp snares and vibrant horns and upright bass and low-toned ride cymbals ppl automatically say 'oh its jazz' when there's really nothing that connects this album to jazz in terms of composition. im well aware that im sounding like a huge asshole autist here but here me out. it just rly annoys me when ppl connect certain genres to music that only tries to emulate the overall flavor and instrumentation of the genre opposed to embodying the craft and composition of it

The greatest of all time, no contest.
But what is it with faggots and not realizing that 'Beats, Rhymes, and Life' is the best Tribe album?
>>65990629
Every song sounds the same.
Gimmick voice stops being interesting super fast.

>>65992263
This isn't an argument
>>65993473
Only The Blacker The Berry mentions white people specifically, and even then, the song is a sharp criticism of hypocrisy in the black community.
>>65984007
you must be listening to a different album.

Fucking Ron Carter played bass on this album
Good thread so far. I'll post a few
If you want something super jazzy with some 80's style flow, check this out.
Great lyrics, great production, great 90's influenced 00's hip hop. Worth checking out for any big hip hop fans
Some abrasive, violent industrial hip hop with killer flow and a fantastic ear for murky gutter-style beats. Also a number of great instrumental tracks that build on themselves in a well-composed manner
This is for anyone who claims psychedelic hip hop doesn't exist
>>65994551
How does that relate to what I said at all
Some nearly flawlessly recorded glitch hop here. The arrangements are so meticulously crafted and gorgeous
>>65994979
Thanks man, I'll take your word on it and check it out.
>>65995125
Yup, let me know what you think next time you catch me on here. If you like that you might enjoy this too
>>65995115
My fucking nigger
>>65985940
I second this.
>>65995183
I feel like I'm one of very few people that prefer Be
Here's some old-school grimy horrorcore for anyone looking to fill that void for outrageous depictions of heinous murders, kidnappings, etc
>>65995230
Definitely the best Outkast record
Anyone still lurking?
this is one of the most diverse hip hop threads I've seen nice job nerds
This is my favorite album
personal opinion, very underated
>>65991717
The real winner here
Classic sound, complex delivery, solid album, and a female MC to boot

Del had a crazy run of albums if you include his group work, 6 great albums in a row.
>>65994997
>>65994979
>>65997618
these three have been my biggest finds of 2016 and i can't stop listening to them
>>65997758
If you like Deltron 3030 you would probably like Del's solo albums, his first 4 are all great
>>65997450
What The Fuck
>>65985825
That gif is scary
>>65982161
So this albums a 7 at best. The lyrics are kind of decent and flows are overrated for being chill. The productions nice but really overrated for being "jazzy" when jazz isn't about a certain "chill vibe" that's just how more harmonically complex chords happen to sound when played softly.
>>65984007
Totally agree
>>65984060
>Did we hear the same album?
do you actually listen to jazz? sampling the general mood of something(which is basically a misunderstanding anyway) does not make it the thing
>>65989622
good shit one of ny fav aswell
>>65990629
More like neo-soul mostly and definitely not god tier
BIG
Pretty much any of these.
>>65998981

>>65985907
besides from the fact that they're both instrumental hip hop the two albums are very different
I remember how I once got into argument with a random guy about if instrumental hip hop is hip hop or not.
He was saying how hip hop music is all about the lyrics and flow, so just beats isn't hip hop.
>>66002509
that guy sounds like he didn't know what he was talking about. people focus on music over words, you can put on music from a different culture and not understand the lyrics at all but still like it
>>65985940
The booklet alone makes it amazing
>>65997618
I appreciate his shit so much but his voice gets so annoying so fast
>>65999551

Also correct.
>>66005368
YASSSSSSSSS.
>>65997450
It took me a while to appreciate this but this album is a masterpiece
none of his other work stands up to it imo
pic related is one of the few I'd recommend from recent years along with Pinata. This track has the best beat I've heard in a while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3YzYRgrIRU

>>65991041
I love this one
>Work
This album is basically if MC Ride was positive and had good beats. One of these best listens I've ever made, I don't know why this album is so slept on.
>>65997344
nah it's better than 5/10 I love almost every song. Isaiah gets those chill vibes for sure
