i still dont get it.

[Sosa]

i dont agree with this thread title. why should i own anything you tell me to buy? and i own most of these albums, i'm just saying.

what this thread promotes seems like the same mentality that idiots with a level of status and have a bookcase full of books they never read have.

this site frustrates me sometimes, why are we obsessed with ranking music and critiquing it rather than enjoying it?

[LORD NOSE]

not exclusively HipHop albums

just albums

the OP might have had Just Hip Hop albums in mind but didn't write out the thread title like that -

i suggest Hip Hop heads get acquainted with Hip Hops Parents

boredom?

in HipHop, competition is almost a life or death situation for very good reasons

Well, i just listed my favourite hip hop albums - but if i'm abiding by the thread rules every album would be non hip hop. Listening to one genre of music gives you no perspective on music generally and limits your appreciation of maturation and change within that genre.

The staid attitude to hip hop of it's fans is pretty annoying and pretty much indicates only listening to 90s boom bap with a few oddities like MF DOOM thrown in ie. my list.

And where in the title does it say Hip Hop Albums?

Its states 10 albums that all hip hop heads should own.

In my opinion you misunderstood the topic.

Touche!

Id be pretty pissed if I took your advise and spent my money on a Nu-metal album after asking you what I should buy with a hip hop perspective. btw is that post count for real?

one question though - why step in the arena and not hard to earn ?

Thanks man. Step In The Arena to me is the Gang Starr sound. I should also mention Daily Operation cause the styles were similar. Hard To Earn & Moment Of Truth are classics, but I think MOT is a little bit overrated. People calling me faggot because I don't think that's the best album even though Premier himself said in an interview that Step In The Arena was his and Guru's favorite album. The reason why I think Step In The Arena is their best is because Premier didn't have a formula for his beats, he was experimenting and the same with Guru bragging about how good he was compared to the competition. It was the perfect combination. SITA is slightly better than DO in my opinion. I think Hard To Earn is better than Moment Of Truth. They have a really amazing discography.

so this is a list of albums that changed my life the most, had a profound effect on me, probably:

aquemini
6 feet deep
ready to die
bastard
funcrusher plus
miss e, so addictive
college dropout
marshall mathers lp
wolf in sheeps clothing
black bastards


this is probably not my top ten favorite albums, but these albums blew my mind and changed my life in certain ways.
