All these lists just show how diverse this genre is and how many great albums there have been in a relatively short time. /salute

Hope you ain't talking bout my list doe.
Coming from the man who placed a Curren$y record in his top 10.
I ended up replacing it with Cube but im fine with it there.
Not you specifically because i didnt bother to read but in all probability yea maybe

I need to educate myself on this list.
Here we go. Lol. I'm in for a doozy.
Not really, apart from a couple outliers its exactly what youd expect. Couple wu-tang albums, some kanye stuff, a smattering of tupac and nas, a smidgen of biggie... and then one or two indie albums from the naughties. Pretty much everyone's is by the numbers except thabiz, blackace, and a couple others. Interesting to see how everyones top 10/hon mentions inform their taste though
actually i just read yours and i can fuck with it minus a couple
Is it Luda's and Lupe's? Lol. Where Recon at doe? Be bussing out the Lupe albums.
Finally Famous at number 1?
Maybe if I was in a more trollish mood. FF not on the list.

There's a reason why some albums end up on so many top ten lists.

Obviously, but there's still a good amount of artists from different sub-genres.

I think a top 15 or 20 would end up a lot more diverse or maybe not lol.
Nah its actually Eminem. I cant give that lame self indulgent bullshit any time of day/respect. Id also switch out a couple albums by certain artists on there for other ones, but its all good.
Can't help it. Shit disgusts me.
I'm not surprised you like PT2 more, its a bit more of a laid back album. I think the first has more energy, flows better from track to track, and is a consistently better listen all the way through. The guest appearances are well employed too and cover up Spitta's weaknesses/repetition as well. PT2 has some of Curren$ys best though. Famous is a top 5 spitta song.
No order.

its more about demographics to me. You ask top 10s from people on Allhiphop, the coli, boxden, pitchfork you're gonna get vastly different results then what you see here. Moreso you'll see artists stand out more than albums. For example there isnt as much illmatic as you might expect from people in this topic, but there is a decent amount of Nas. So some emcees will be on many lists due to critical or commercial salience.... But just as much you'll see factors like age and ethnicity making a dent in top 10 lists along with any sort of 'objectively good' albums, whatever that shit means.

Age is the most apparent factor in these lists. With the exception of WanderingWind, I'm sure everyone that had Lupe on their list is around their mid 20's.
If it wasn't a personal top 10, I'm sure there would be more Nas and less Lupe.
Dopium is a good album.

I can see what you mean. Personally I had to leave out it was written cause I don't even bump that album like that. Can't remember the last time I listened to it. Still love it though but rather put what I consistently play although I left a few out that really could be in my top 10 because how much I listen to them.

Bro I posted an avatar a few pages back of the same kendrick avatar but the quality is better. Please get it, can't be having Gaf-hop members looking sloppy

We have a fairly diverse demographic here. I think commercial success ties directly into people actually hearing the albums in the first place, so naturally that will factor heavily into personal favorites. Commercial success doesn't equal quality, but it definitely equals exposure. There are probably MCs out there who could be among the greatest ever to breathe into a mic, but they're just unknown to the world. It's sort of a sad reality of any industry, really.
Age definitely had something to do with my Tupac selection. It was my first rap cassette, so it has a personal favorite spot forever. I imagine a lot of people have albums that were their first exposure to certain styles into their favorites.

Lol I thought you were just avatar quoting me haha I'll switch it up, thanks
Yeah.. I don't see any correlation between demographic on a site that isn't centred around music in the first place. Stretching the association pretty far there.
And even still, demographics in the internet is a pretty messy combination as is.

I know exactly what you mean. All Eyez on Me barely escaped my list.
Yup.
After reading everyones list I could easily swap a couple out.
At least we didn't do top 10 songs now that would be difficult
nah young 20s late teens. 18-23 is the lupe demographic.
My generation
I guess, yeah. 23 is still too young to be considered mid 20s which was the age I was specifically talking about.

I'm sorry
Illmatic being on the list isn't about seriousness. It's just that I could sit there and listen to it every single day for the rest of my life and I won't get tired. Nas just went crazy on the album, the beats are good but the rapping is just on a whole different level. If someone asks me what is hiphop I will direct them to it, he just hits every single note for me. More people need to recognise the genius of the album outside of hiphop, kids should be taught about it in their curriculum. It will be far more engaging to urban kids to teach them about literary criticism using Illmatic than anything they are doing at the moment.
Maybe it's just the influence Illmatic had on me but prior to listening to it, I wasn't much of a fan of reading and stuff but then I listened to Illmatic a few times and started decoding it. I was all up on urban dictionary figuring it out and was just blowing my mind every time I did. It got me interested in reading, the power of words etc and in turn changed my life. I wouldn't be where I am without it.

I like CC a lot, i listened to it a ton, but I kinda wish there were more diverse beats on there or something. It can get.....doldrummy sometimes on full listens. CC could have been a perfect album, it just needed a couple more bells and whistles. I like the rawness and atmosphere that a full alc album brings, but sometimes i find some of these full projects to be a bit too cohesive
lol :lol) or something. Maybe im just buggin.its not fun without the fussing and fighting
