what are the objective top five hip hop albums of all time? fuck influence and shit, we're talking about straight quality and consistency. I'd put Enter the Wu-Tang at the top, Illmatic is also good enough to be there. Maybe Madvillainy, good kid MAAD city, or something Kanye too, or tribe
>>74011827
madvillainy, to pimp a butterfly, illmatic, it takes a nation of millions to hold us back, enter the wu tang
quality wise Biggie made the perfect rap album at 22, and Mobb Deep deserve a spot as well
fucking fight me
de la soul is pretty great. try buhloone mind state
How quickly will the tickets sell out?
Maybe I'm a pleb but seriously who is Ministry

Why are King Crimson's albums between ITCOTCK and Red not often discussed?
I just listened to this and it was pretty good
the wetton era live stuff is especially god tier
>>74011747
In the Wake Of Poseidon, Lizard, Islands, Larks, and SBB are all amazing they need to be discussed more imo
>>74011771
i think wetton was their best vocalist and my favorite bassist to ever lend his talents to the crimson king.
Is hip-hop in its current state the most commercial it's ever been? We're drifting away from boom-bap rap with straight bars, and moving into sing songy, Lil Uzi/Travis Scott territory. Anyone think that's why hip-hop is now the biggest genre in America? Because it's becoming more easily digested, and marketed.
Is hip-hop bigger now than it was in the 90s, and is it because niggas are out here singing and shit as opposed to just spitting bars the whole song.
>We're drifting away from boom-bap rap with straight bars, and moving into sing songy, Lil Uzi/Travis Scott territory
How old are you some of you people? There was singing-esque stuff that was something between hip hop and rnb in the 2000s as well. Not to mention there's no hip hop artists right now that's selling as well as the late 90s/2000s guys. It was infinitely more commercial in the 2000s
>>74011689
Genres are diverging. We have the intellectual, more classic style hip hop like kendrick and j cole. Meanwhile others are going back to some of the more pop, dance oriented, and androgynous hip hop of the 70s and 80s.

Alright /mu/, knowing that every single member of the big 4 have sold out, you have been tasked to pick the new big 4 of new age thrash. Pick 4 new age thrash bands to include in the new big 4 before they sell out.
