Why do people say Illmatic is the best New York based Rap album? Pic related is 10 times better.
"10 times better" I almost want to agree with you then you pull out some ridiculous hyperbole like this and I'm just like "nah".

At this point, even mentioning the infamous makes you look like an edgelord.
Nas, Jay-z, Gang Starr, Bustah Rhymes (PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE MY EYES CAN SEE), A tribe called quest.
man I am just going to stop right there......You need to stop it right now and re-think what you just posted here.

Exactly, what the fuck is OP talking about lol
>>66357782

>>66357339

>not Dr. Octagonecologyst

If you didn't think Illmatic or Ready To Die didn't define NYC as a whole, then you're a pleb
but pic related is better than every album mentioned in this thread
The Albums in this thread are uncomparable to one another. They are all 10/10 in their own way
Also Doctor Octagon
This just made me realize how much fucking better East Coast Hip Hop is compared to the West Coast.

Dr Octagon is not a pure Eastcoast album, Dan the Automator and Kutmasta Kurt were both from LA

kill yourself
I'd put 36 chambers, Illmatic, Liquid Swords, Midnight Marauders and Low End Theory, Paid in Full, The cold Vein all over The Infamous.
Then it's just a tossup with like Ready to die, The Infamous, reasonable doubt, OB4CL
>>66359549
more monotone than DOOM
Temperature's Rising is as good as anything on Illmatic.
>>66362181
man I'm not on the Liquid Swords train but this is the worst fucking criticism possible
