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
>>63544625
what albums are better? what would you rate it? why?
All Eyez on Me - break out the fedoras boys.
>>63544762
>>63544773
fuck you generals are cancer
>>63544273
>Deltron 3030
meme album
>>63544188
I actually agree
MBDTF is a really close second though
That's not Fear of a Black Planet
It's this.
/thread
I only accept three answers:
1. MBDTF
2. It Takes A Nation Of Millions
3. Illmatic
>>63544273
>Deltron 3030
>>63544188
Because it's amazing.
This or Illmatic is the greatest of all time
>>63544188
>>63544188
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.
pic unrelated
I respectably disagree
>>63544188
>>63546043
Is this a joke? How can you have 2 fantastic albums and MBDTF?
>>63546852
Thats not even best Screw
>>63546973
Confirmed know-nothing
Best album coming through
CMON MU
>>63546390
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.
>>63544188
Back the fuck up nigger
>>63544273
>no Illmatic
>no 36 chamber
>no chronic
stop
Really, not even an mention?

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.
deep like fathoms of ocean water
>>63547311
>hip hop
>grime album
>>63547468
It's literally a sub genre
>>63547188
this cover always prevented me from downloading the album
>>63547595
It looks like something a guy in the city would hand you for free but then tell you you have to buy it the moment he forces it into your hands
>>63547406
I just can't deal with his voice. Better when he doesn't pitch shift it.
>>63544188

>>63547188

illmatic
>>63544188
one of the best but ob4cl is better imo
>>63544762
great album but has filler
>>63544273
>>63546367
>>63547392
midnight marauders is the better album
>>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.
>>63548529
operation doomsday if you havent
>>63548692
I'm gonna go cry
>>63548650
This along with this
>>63548723
???
>>63548727
Yesssssssss senpai
1. Illmatic
2. 808's and Heartbreaks
3. 2001
>>63549263
2001 has like 6 legendary songs and then shit tons of filler
>>63548692
>MBDTF and NLDW.
opinion discarded
>>63544188
I really didn't think Liquid Swords was *that* good, and I like wutang
They're all equally shit
>>63546184
Dude has a point, I listened to some Chopin but all he fucking did was press buttons.
>underage rockists still exist
literally noone listens to necro, ill bill, goretex etc...?
>>63544188
liquid swords makes me cream daily
>>63547652
He doesn't like his voice sadly, sounded fantastic on shadows of tommorow
/thread
its over
>>63544188
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.
