Hip-Hop Thread [ARCHIVED] Genre • Page 419

I am superior to most of you. Please PM me to set up a time and place for me to mock you publicly.

 

You’re a piece of shit

 

I’m a bigger piece of shit than any of y’all

 

How the hell do threads always end up turning foul.

 

Probably old heads. We ruin everything. Except rap. Young heads ruin that... ;)

 

What's the cut-off for young and old though? Where's the line so I know where to put myself? Hahaha

 

I mentioned this dude a couple of pages back. Not a fan on Peep, but the track he’s on on this (ZZZ) is great and his feature is kinda nice

 

I'm 33...started listening (or taking it seriously) to hip hop around 9 or 10 years-old. Honestly haven't been into much newer hip hop in years.

Top 10 is hard and this is not in any order but:

Nas - Stillmatic
DMX - It's Dark and Hell is Hot (I don't even like DMX but this album is incredible)
Kanye- Dark Twisted Fantasy
Lupe - Food & Liquor
Eminem - Eminem Show
Royce da 5'9" - Death is Certain
Nas - God's Son
Jay Z - Black Album
Bone Thugs - Eternal
Kendrick - Section.80

* ANYTHING NO LIMIT (I own like, 60 No Limit albums)

 

I feel ive got a pretty good mix of new and old. Lots of outkast lol. Im 25.

In no order:

Outkast - Aquemini
Outkast - ATLiens
DOOM - Madvillain
Kanye West - MBDTF
Vince Staples - Summertime 06
Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor
Black Star - S/T
Young Thug - Barter 6
Kendrick Lamar - GKMC
Lil B - Gods Father

Beloved albums that didnt make the list:

Isaiah Rashad - The Suns Tirade
Noname - Telefone
Smino - blkswn
Young Thug - BTG
Digable Planets - Reachin’
Deltron 3030 - S/T
Goodie Mob - Soul Food
Danny Brown - XXX
Anderson .Paak - Malibu
ASAP Rocky - Live.Love.ASAP.
Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Kid Cudi - A Kid Named Cudi
DOOM - Mm...Food

 

Most of what I enjoy is either 90s or recent. Don't think I'd put anything from the 00s in my top 20.

 

The 2000’s was a very weird time for this genre looking back

 

Got into the genre in mid-late 00s with lots of Ye, Wayne, and T.I. but my top 10 would almost definitely all be from 2010 onward.

 

Tha Carter III
Black Reign
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
Scum Fuck Flower Boy
Broke With Expensive Taste
Midnight Marauders
Hard Core
Come Over When You're Sober, PT 1

my top ten (not in a specific order) looks like a good mix of my taste.

 

I'm 24

 

I'm 24

 

can't believe E40 just released a top 10 banger of the year and it's going unnoticed smh

 

Like I said, I embrace the new school of hip hop. I'm 35 and love all the Lil/Young/Soundcloud/trap stuff just like everyone else.

That being said, these top 10 lists are making me feel super old. The average album on these lists is like 5-10 years old.

 

You guys remember Lil Zane? Young World: The Future was great.

 

im 26. i grew up loving a lot of radio rap but didn't really dive into the genre until around 09-10. anyway, here's my favorites. not concerned with what the 'right' list is or the fact that some of these albums havent been out for more than a couple years, which seems to bother some people when it comes to favorites lists for some reason. this is in no order by the way

kanye west's discog minus ye, obviously
jay-z - the black album
lil wayne - tha carter II and III, also da drought 3 obviously
danny brown - xxx
kevin gates - luca brasi story
freddie gibbs - shadow of a doubt
vince staples - summertime 06
future - 56 nights
drake - take care
big boi - sir lucious left foot
earl sweatshirt - doris
nelly - country grammar


honestly this barely scratches the surface of what i like and a narrow list of 10 albums can't even come close to defining the rap i love

 

the crunk era slaps

 

the bay area movement is still the best era of hip hop

 

no father record makes the list?

 

read my last sentence lol
