>>72128428
>Hip-hop
The whole decline of music as a thing to enjoy. This started a thing called 'Rap', which led to 'Hip Hop' later on.

If I had a time machine, I would do everything to prevent, forestall, impede, thwart, forbid, avert and inhibit the first recording of this wretched music.

But it's too late. We have to live with it. So be strong, music lovers. We still have the choice.

Having 5 as your last ten is cheating bruh.

Also public enemy as top 10 is lame af. It's historic but kinda like putting zeppelin as top 10 metal.

gotta have Reasonable Doubt

>>72129408

>Also public enemy as top 10 is lame af. It's historic but kinda like putting zeppelin as top 10 metal.

Unlike comparing Zeeplin to Metal PE were actually as if not more complex than their succesors.

I tried to be "objective" to the absolute best of my abilities and I think this list would be an excellent beginner's guide to someone who knew nothing about hip hop and wanted to get a good feel for it

Personal Top 10

Madvllain- Madvillainy
Wu Tang Clan- Enter the Wu Tang 36 Chambers
A Tribe Called Quest- Midnight Marauders
Kanye West- The College Dropout
Lil Ugly Mane- Mista Thug Isolation
Run The Jewels- Run The Jewels 2
Captain Murphy- DUALITY
Danny Brown- XXX
Earl Sweatshirt- I Dont Like Shit I Don't Go Outside
Travis Scott- Rodeo

In no particular order and based solely on importance or influence.

>Paid In Full
I can't believe that this was only listed once. This album fucking made hip-hop what it is today. Without this, we'd have the same simple ass raps from the early 80's
>Illmatic
This one is simple. Every inspiring artist compares their first studio album to Illmatic; they have all failed.
>Ready to Die
Just bangers and the rapper with the most hype at the time, opening up his soul, while still being the best.
>Blueprint
Jay-Z considers RD his best, but I think it's because Nas and Biggie's firsts were their most important albums. RD is better lyrically, but Blueprint as a package, and how fucking influential it was, trumps over RD.
>808's
Controversial opinion, but this album created most of the artists that came in the 10's whether you love them or hate them. I really want to put CD or MBDTF here and I might do it if I continue typing.
>36 Chambers
Just obvious and almost every fucking group has tried to mimic the impact and everything that happened after this album. Probably the first time Hip-Hop really got merchandised.
>Straight Outta Compton
This album is really fucking dated, and their second album is underrated and better, but you can't deny that it introduced a different sound and an entire genre to the game.
>Aquemini
I'm putting Outkast regardless, and if you are, it has to be between ATliens and Aquemini; Aquemini wins the coin flip.
>It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back
Political Rap, Intellectual, whatever you want to call it. This was the start.
>Low End Theory
I was thinking of putting 50 Cent is the Future on here or Lil Wayne's Dedication series, but I mean... this shit was just smooth and more than basic conscious rap. You had an album with some of the best sequencing, smoothest rhythms and consistent throughout.

People putting Madvillainy have to be white. It's a good album, but only white suburban kids rate it that highly.

>6.5/10 albums from new york

I have theory that if anyone has more than 40% of albums in their top ten list that are from the East Coast they're guaranteed backpackers.

There isn't a single album from the south or midwest in your supposed Top Ten.

>>72135421
Or maybe we're on the east coast, or simply recognized that in the 90s nearly all of the LYRICAL CONTENT was coming from the east.

I started listing out albums, but after about five albums, I realised I didn't really care much about any of the others that came to mind. Hip hop is kinda boring.

>>72128428
The entire genre of rap is a meme, all rap is memerap, as it's objectively inferior/cheaper music. It's our degenerate plebeian /mu/ that has tried to make us believe rap is an "essential" genre and that if you don't like it you must be "narrow-minded", a "redditor" who is "born in le wrong generation" and there's probably some racial element to it too. Rap music has no staying power. All of rap is just a neo-rockist sub-genre of top-40 pop, with a "urban" paint job. This music doesn't stand the test of time, it's a fad. That's why rappers are discussed about like fashion. Image/fashion/numbers sold are actually considered when talking about them. Rap is just a really cheap/lazy form of music anyways. The majority of rap beats are just stealing (MUHH "SAMPLING") another artist's music, looping it over a generic drumbeat while someone "raps" over it. The "technical aspects" of rapping are not hard at all. That's why there's 14 year old white girls on YouTube uploading themselves flowing with ease and speed, dropping multis like it's nothing. But because they don't fit the image of a "rapper", no one would take seriously. I've listened to it all from backpacker shit like cLOUDDEAD and Atmosphere to the "golden days" of Public Enemy and Eric B. and Rakim to instrumental stuff like J Dilla and DJ Shadow to the 90s with Nas and Mobb Deep to the CLT approved A Tribe Called Quest and Digital Planets to today like Kendrick and Kanye. All rap is meme rap. All of it. Stop spamming it.

>no bladee

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

>>72128428
Hot opinion
Production on Be > both TCD and LR
It's the best of Kanye's early production

Dropout and Registration are more important for sure, but Be is a better album, at least production wise

>ITT: EVERYONE CALLING EACH OTHER GARBAGE
Good job starting this retarded thread OP

>>72138740
If there was a song with really great lyrics but sounded like shit, would you still enjoy it? I'd say that with a lot of music, there should be a combination of both good lyrics and good sounds.

>>72138740
Why would I read lyrics when I could just read far superior poetry instead?
I love Bob Dylan's writing and I think there's value to having well written lyrics, especially if they suit a good composition, but listening to music solely for lyrics is like watching films for the scores.

>>72138806
I mean it's more like watching a movie for the dialogue, and some movies excellent on the dialogue alone. They're never my favourite movies but they exist

>>72138794
>Good job
The job is garbage
