Is there a better hip hop album? >radio hits >classic street

the sex skit brings this album from a 10 to a 9 desu

eh, it wasn't THAT bad. maybe down to a 9.7

He's a great rapper but there are no /great/ beats, and the production is pretty bland. It's a classic, but it's kind of a classic I resent cause it's just not good enough to really like even if it stays in your head so easily and is so iconic and consistent

>rapping about robbing people is pretencious
what did he mean by this?

no but seriously that's not pretentious at all. people have been doing that for so long and so often it's funny. if anything you could criticize the track for having a bland concept, but the storytelling is on point and it's expressed in a way that really hasnt been done beforehand.

idk man, the production on Big Poppa and One More chance are pretty memorable. same with machine gun funk. i think the songs with more lackluster beats are made up for by the lyrical content (i.e. Suicidal Thoughts)

to fully answer your question I guess going by your definition of a great album no but there have been hip hop albums that are considered "better"
all Eyez on me by Tupac has much better production and a more clear point to existing I doubt there ever has or ever will be a better rap debut but I'm not sure if it's the best fullstop

>different producers throughout the album make sure it doesn't sound the same all the way through

This was pretty unhip-hop prior to '94. Working with one producer (maybe your DJ) was cultural practice till this year (illmatic)

>Is there a better hip hop album?

I can't say it's objectively"better" but this is pure hip-hop to me. Well, this and Radio. Radio might be the purest of hip-hop records.

Inb4 some faggot ass memer says TPAB

All Eyez On Me is unnecessarily long and most of the songs have pretty much the same exact content, save for a couple with specific themes like Hit Em Up. Aside from a few good beats, the album is pretty much the same all the way through and once you've heard the first couple of songs you've pretty much heard em all

>he listens to hip hop albums
Lol cringe, hip hop isnt even an album genre. If you listen to hip hop through albums you're doing it wrong.
