- sockpuppets, on 07/21/2008, -9/+105Digga please.
- AhrenBa, on 07/21/2008, -4/+80Ah yes, back when rap was good! The state of rap music is sad these days....especially with people like Soulja Boy f'ing it up.
- waxcrash, on 07/21/2008, -3/+62That list makes me realize how bad rap is today.
- alkajazz, on 07/21/2008, -2/+45ILLMATIC FOR EVER
- BlueStarr, on 07/20/2008, -4/+39Did not expect about.com doing this kind of thing. Fantastic. Almost all my favorites groups are there.
X-Clan, disposable heroes of hypocrisy, Poor righteous teachers. - alkajazz, on 07/21/2008, -2/+30So true we go from this
"Visualizin the realism of life and actuality
***** who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary
And my mentality is, money orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as five percenters
But somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin
Others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition
Keepin the schwepervesence street ghetto essence inside us
Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us
Even though, we know somehow we all gotta go
but as long as we leavin thievin we'll be leavin with some kind of dough
so, and to that day we expire and turn to vapors
me and my capers-ll be somewhere stackin plenty papers
Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high
Cause life's a bitch and then you die"
to this
"Weezy... F... yea, ok
They say I'm rappin like Big, Jay, and Tupac
Andre 3 Thousand where is erykah badu at
Who dat
Who dat said they gon' beat Lil Wayne
My name ain't bic, but I keep that flame boi
Who dat one
Dat do dat boy
Ya'll knew dat
True dat swallow
And I be the shhhh
Now you got loose bottoms" - cashless, on 07/20/2008, -2/+26Some of the albums shouldn't have been on the list, but overall a decent list with little regional bias.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -3/+27Great list. Thorough by year and there is 90 of them. My man put in work for this.
- inactive, on 07/21/2008, -3/+24Actually, if you weren't a douche, you'd realize that you don't have to be young to listen to rap. YOU hear the word "rap" and think of T-Pain, 50 Cent, and G-Unit, which proves that you're ignorant.
- inactive, on 07/21/2008, -2/+23protect ya neck
- lead2thehead, on 07/21/2008, -2/+22Maybe I'm getting old, but rap music was WAY better back then. Now it's like they don't even try. I can't think of ONE album from the past 10 years that even comes close to The Chronic.
- ActiveDuty, on 07/21/2008, -11/+30Whoa. Wait a minute. This list is missing Vanilla Ice's album "To the Extreme" released October 16, 1990. :(
Ice, Ice, Baby. - ActiveDuty, on 07/21/2008, -0/+18I heard MTV had music once.
- skeepbop, on 07/20/2008, -3/+21Pretty good list.
- jarjarwang, on 07/21/2008, -2/+20Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
and
GZA/Genius - Liquid Swords
make a great 1995 - saisumimen, on 07/21/2008, -1/+18Stop watching MTV.
- alkajazz, on 07/21/2008, -1/+15That is why it was under 1995?
- jaybol, on 07/20/2008, -4/+17really cool list...i wish i wasn't scared to death of downloading illegal music. puff daddy "no way out" reminds me of not being ashamed to be white and bump hiphop in my mom's mazda 626 and pull up to people at red lights.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -3/+16It's nice to see Fear of a Black Planet get the props that it deserves.
- netgeek06, on 07/20/2008, -5/+17Great list of Rap Albums.

Giant Panda - Electric Laser
J-Live - Then What Happened?

People Under The Stairs - O.S.T.
Aesop Rock - Bazooka Tooth
Madvillain - Madvillainy
And I realize the possibility that your comment may be laced with sarcasm, but, you know what? I'll just roll with it. I highly suggest the following two sites for good stuff to look for and/or honest, un-biased reviews.
http://www.sandboxautomatic.com - Snokage, on 07/20/2008, -0/+11you obviously didnt look hard enough then.
- ngmcs8203, on 07/21/2008, -3/+14Go listen to a Common or Nas album and I dare you to say that again without lying through your teeth.
- alkajazz, on 07/21/2008, -3/+14Wow, you obviously have never listened to any of the MC's on this list.
- andre321, on 07/21/2008, -1/+11Oh, haha. How original.
- wedeservedit, on 07/20/2008, -4/+14great list there... quite a lot of non commercial stuff like smiff n wessun, wish it had onyx in the 1993 section though, cause that was one of the best.
- LinkGCN4, on 07/21/2008, -2/+12You headed West, talk ***** about Dre?
You better get a vest, then invest in something
To protect your head and neck - Glitchwerks, on 07/21/2008, -1/+11I usually hate these damn lists, but I actually agree with this one, almost 100%. And he got both Company Flow and Freestyle Fellowship, which shows he was actually digging in the crates.
- danthek54, on 07/21/2008, -0/+10...not really, beasties released 3 awesome albums in the 90s 'check yo head', 'ill communication', and 'hello nasty' all of those albums were great with my personal fav being ill communication. Beasties should've been included
- GlueSniffer, on 07/21/2008, -0/+10I thought it was Leaders of the New School?
- CyrusG, on 07/21/2008, -1/+10Warning...Warning... ^^^^ troll found with nothing better to do than comment on Digg articles.
- gskill, on 07/20/2008, -2/+11I like these album collection covers.
- libertao, on 07/21/2008, -1/+10Wu-Tang=1997 and 1993---what's with these retarded comments?
- stonebone4, on 07/21/2008, -1/+10Only built 4 Debian Linux....Diggaz
- HigherLogic, on 07/21/2008, -2/+10Please don't lump what you hear on the radio with what you've never heard. There's plenty of good rap music out there.
- cyrix, on 07/21/2008, -2/+10I do have to say that Kanye, Jay Z, Nas, Ludicrous, Jurassic 5, Mos Def, Camp Lo, and quite a few others have put out good stuff that strays away from the whole "cash money millionaires" syndrome. It was like after they came out all these wannabes came out of the woodwork and thought that rapping about nothing but money, cars, diamonds, drinking, drugs and whores was what rap was about.
And yes, kanye is an arrogant dick wad, but his stuff is fairly refreshing when compared to Soulja Boy and all those other retard happy ***** *****.
Oh and this is coming from someone who considers Can't Get Enough of Your Love by Barry White to be one of the greatest songs ever. Just saying. - LordStandley, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8A Tribe Called Quest Midnight Marauders is one of the best albums period.
- Acglaphotis, on 07/21/2008, -3/+11You: "*****"
- DjOverEZ, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8Beastie Boys: 1992-Check Your Head, 1994-Ill Communication, 1998-Hello Nasty. None of these albums on the list, something's wrong here.
- vishusdelishus, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8Man...solid list. I have almost all of these albums and then some. There are some glaring omissions, but everyone is going to say that. I wish output these days was as consistently excellent.
Hip hop still lives people! There's a lot of ***** out there, but there are also a lot of amazing hidden gems being released all the time. It'll get back to where it came from eventually - tru hedz just gotta step their games up and introduce the youth.
....and despite seemingly popular opinion here PE is still bringing some good fire. Don't hate! - axis, on 07/21/2008, -1/+9Nice to see A Tribe Called Quest on there 3 times. Q-Tip is such a great rapper, he does it better than most. Then rap turned sour in 95 and hasn't looked back since.
Now when I hear most of the (c)rap today, I get that "Oh no, bitter beer face" face... - ggfobster, on 07/21/2008, -0/+7"scared to death"...... lol
- vancanucksfan, on 07/21/2008, -3/+10where the ***** is the don killuminati the 7 day theory? thats when 2pac transformed into makaveli and released the hardest album ever.
- randyzaia, on 07/21/2008, -0/+7Liquid Swords is on the '95 list, #3.
- rukeypoo, on 07/21/2008, -6/+13De La Soul!??
- BlueStarr, on 07/20/2008, -5/+12Dude...hiphop has never truly been about skin color or what area you grew-up in. If you loved the hiphop and new your ***** back and forth on the music you were down. I had friends from many different economic backgrounds and that never made a difference.
So bump the music you love and keep it cool baby and you'll be good. - gl77, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6from the time rap started in the late 70's until about 95, essentially all rap was good *****, after 95, there was still some good stuff coming out, but here and there, wack-ass rap music was starting to get peppered in, eventually taking over. there's still good stuff out there today, but a lot of it is underground with a few well known groups like Blackalicious and all of the mainstream stuff is just stupid as *****...
check out some Blackalicious.

- ptFoe, on 07/21/2008, -0/+690s when rap was good
- addrake, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6This is one phenomenal list.
Seriously, I checked every year and never missed and album I thought should be there. Very well done. -
