I can't name them all...but most albums put out in the 90s...I love the 90s

I don't know the distinction between hip-hop and rap but I Tech N9ne's Vintage is pretty good.22Toothpicks

Every rap album is a hip-hop album. It doesn't necessarily work the other way around though because there can be instrumental hip-hop albums that include no rapping.

my top10:

el-p - fantastic damage

cannibal ox - the cold vein

nas - illmatic

GZA - liquid swords

outkast - aquemini

company flow - funcrusher plus

the roots - things fall apart

mos def - black on both sides

death grips - the money store (i know it's early, i don't care, sh*t is legendary)

de la soul - stakes is high

it's simply impossible to pick just one, and this list can change on any given month...

I guess I should give The Cold Vein another shot since people with similar taste to me love it so much. I first heard it years ago and remembered hating it. JML897

I really really like I'll Sleep When You're Dead and that new Killer Mike album owns. But yeah, I wouldn't put El-P in my 10 favorite producers or anything. JML897

damn, i'm getting majorly glitchspotted tonight.

I was thinking about this after I posted. I prefer:

1. Kno
2. Kanye
3. DJ Premier
4. Organized Noize
5. Nujabes
6. J Dilla
7. Pete Rock
8. Pimp C
9. Dr Dre
10. Clams Casino

Obviously that's an all-time list, El-P's almost definitely in my top 10 currently. I know Clams Casino is new but I think his beats are incredible.

anyways, i can't really argue with any of those aside from kno and pimp c. i'm a fan of em' all. i just consider el-p on another level, he's just so original and his beats are lightyears ahead of anyone else imo.

i also agree that clams even as a newcomer, has a sh*tload of potential.

lol took you awhile...

I was making sure I didn't miss anybody super obvious. :P Madlib was on my list originally but then I remembered Organized Noize so I swapped them in.

Also I don't think Kno will ever leave my top 10.

Paid in Full by the guy in my sig

liking the taste of artist in this thread..OT has some interesting choices. My choice. Nas-illimatic eboyishere

I'm surprised as well. I remember my first venture into OT saw everyone hating on rap. My faith in OT has been restored

.

Jay-Z Black Album.

My one has to be with Jay-z and Kanye west, wtach the throne

I dig a lot of the classics like Illmatic and Enter the 36 Chambers but I gotta say Black On Both Sides (Mos Def) is probably my favorite of the big name hip hop releases.

I'll pick up the few I haven't listened to from this thread. Always looking for more (good) hip hop.

Either Aquemini by Outkast or My Beautiful Twisted Dark Fantasy by Kanye West. I must have played the latter over a hundred times.
