Born Sinner is a very good album overall
Born Sinner is a very good album overall
I think its so much better than his latest album although most people seem to think the opposite.
Really? Most people i've come across (and the critical reviews too) don't think his latest is very good. It doesn't have the soul of Born sinner.
I Agree, it was darker and i love dark albums
I don't know why but i kind of feel like an ode to your hometown should be your 1st or 2nd album or at the end of your career.... or your mixtape.
I think the first 5 albums of your career determine your legacy, you can either have an illmatic or a GKMC and you are good for life or you can have 3 solid albums, J.cole really has 1 album where people are going to " oh ...yeah that album was great " and that is Born Sinner.
I know a lot of people who were hyped when 2014FHD came out but they reverted back to Born Sinner after a while

I thought Cole World: The sideline story was pretty solid. Born Sinner is still better.
It was solid for a debut album, i liked the entire theme of the album
Redman surely must have one of the best.
Tech n9ne as mentioned, same with Ghostface
Outkast is up there
Got to mention Dr.Dre to, even if only released two albums, but both are classics.
Kanye West also-
Brotha Lynch Hung also have a good discography, even if i am not a huge fan of horror rap. His newest releases is some of the best concept rap albums.
But the one with the absolute best discography imo is 2pac. I am not even a huge fan, but every album he released is absolute fantastic.
If we have this discussion on 10, or maybe even 5 years, i am dead sure Kendrick Lamar will be there.
That Jay Electronica is fire.
Can't believe I forgot Biggie & Big L, two of my favourite discography's.
I may be in the minority but I find most of 2Pac's albums to be average.

Lol i feel you
Not if he takes another 3 years to drop an album, besides we really don't know if his new album will be great or not, i mean i get the hype for Kendrick and all, he is a great rapper,but how can you be dead sure ? even Nas had wack albums......so
Dead sure.. well,, off course i can be 100% sure, but i have the feeling.
And i would like if he took 5 years inbetween every album if its as good as GKMC.
I am the opposite, and find all 2pac albums to be great albums, but i am not a huge 2pac fan.
So when i make a playlist there is not many 2pac songs in it, but if i am going to listen to a full album i would easialy choosed on of his.
lol i don't know about 5 years maybe 2 and a half
Snoop Dogg in the 90s probably had the most potential, i really don't know what happened to Snoop Dogg man.....
Kanye West doesn't have a wack song
Oh damn.
I forgot one with an absolute amazing discography :
DJ Quik

Outkast by far. Biggie had just 2 before he died. Kanye had Yeezus and 808, which half of the hip hop community still don't understand. The rest you mentioned had a bunch of mediocre releases.
But Outkast? They hit every ball out the park. I still can't decide which is better out of ATLiens and Aquemini. Depends on the day and mood.
Redman's collection of his first 3 albums have few peers in hip hop. Unfortunately the quality dived after Muddy Waters. Ghostface is definitely up there, avoided the sophomore slump most of the Clan encountered. I'm not sold on 2 Pac's early discography, but MATW and everything after was great and added to his legacy.
Whats your favourite album of all time?
In any genre? Voodoo by D'Angelo.
Hiphop? I can't decide honestly, that answer changes from month to month. This month it's Blue Chips 2 by Action Bronson.
Fair enough, its kind of like picking your favourite child, well unless you are Ronaldo's mother of course
The greatest rapper of all times died today 18 years ago. Baby Babaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He changed his ways. Snoop in his prime was as good as anybody I've ever heard. He's expanded massively over the years though, dude is just doing his thing. A true legend.
I find what your saying about him to be true "doing his thing", but i also find that others get criticised for doing their own thing and he doesn't.
Jay z,Nas,Kanye West are all branded as "Sellouts" by a lot of people for simply doing the same thing Snoop is doing, albeit in a different way,if Kanye had gone to Jamaica and come back as "Reggae Yeezy" the whole hip hop community would have criticised him
Snoop doesn't take himself seriously like Kanye and the likes, therefore he escapes criticism.
They're likely branded as sellouts by idiots though. Believe me, Snoop get's plenty of shit aimed his way from a certain set of listeners for his music. Inside the business though he's arguably the most respected. Snoop makes things work, there might always be haters out there but he stamps his mark on it and continues to stay relevant.
Thats a good point
Snoop is a brand in himself these days. Its no longer about the music with him, so he can pretty much get away with anything. Kanye is still at the stage in his career where his music takes precedence so he's more under the microscope
I actually looking forward to "Bush" by Snoop and Pharrel. If its anything the direction "7 Days Of Funk" took its going to be good.
Kendrick dropped his album early.
I've already purchased it on iTunes and about to listen to it on my way home now.
Anyone else heard it?
