Is there any other genre that has an album that stands so tall above the rest and is undeniably and unarguably the best?

What made Scientist so special were all his 'outsider' themes. Other dub artists of his era were too traditional.

seriously? you don't think anyone can even make an argument that donuts is better?
>>
>>71213267

Making a horror themed dub album is genius in itself. All the other guys you've mentioned were deeply rooted in continuing the Rastafarian musical tradition while Scientist approached the genre from a more creative perspective. All the Rasta stuff gets tiring after a while.

This is the single greatest dub track of all time, you can't prove me wrong:

>>71213242
but midnight marauders is just as good. not to mention tpab.
>>
>>71213325
Departure is way better than Donuts, Donuts is a 50/50 hit or miss album with some of the individual beats being like the best ever beats, that I'll give it, but Departure is all the way through consistently fantastic, there is no debate imo.

No, that if definitely instrumental HH.

It's almost all sampled you dumb fuck
Calling Endtroducing instrumental hip-hop is doing it a disservice

First of all, dj shadow himself calls it hip hop. Second of all, you must not know that much about hip hop if you think having too many samples makes it no longer hip hop. Having lots of samples is like the foundation of early hip hop. Listen to records like paul's boutique or 3 feet high and rising.

>>71212255
only other examples i can think of:

Justice - Cross [electro house]
MBV - Loveless [Shoegaze and Dream Pop]

>>71213493

Definitely, not to put down the others though.

Give it a re-listen, masterfully written both lyrically and musically. 10/10
