ITT: We post underrated hip hop albums

>>73846459
A couple of weeks ago some some anon in another thread asked if there was a single hip hop record ever created without a single line of political/social commentary. After picking through the lyrics of dozens of albums, we concluded that this was the only one. Truly a classic.

I thought that these were highly acclaimed. In any case, good selections.

>>73847336
It's not on any hip-hop charts for /mu/core, and normies think Biggie and Tupac are the only things to come from the 90s, so they're really only really held in high regard usually by people who are actually in hip-hop

this album was never released officially, which is disappointing because it has some great tracks on it:

Absolutely. I was gonna post this as well. Has shit reviews, because most people sleep on his understated poetic style and internal rhymes. The production is pretty distinct too. Very cartoonish and sound effect heavy at times.

Love this part:

>I remember when I was on the ave clutching them dimes/gut touchin my spine, bustin my rhymes/feelin like I'm livin in them lost times/no sight of the future, damn right I'll shoot ya/palm tight on the rooster/old in the face cause this hold on my case/got my growth at a fast pace/old folks like, "Obie? Oh he's a bad case./"He won't last. His track record'll do the math."

His choice of wording, imagery, metaphor is just so unique, imo.

Who are you quoting?

>>73849739
op
none of these are really underrated

>>73848849

This was the only record they made together, he(charizma) died in a car accident or something. Recorded in the early 90s but didn't make its way to an offical release because it took PBF forever to get Stones Throw moving.

>>73848849

yes they did a project(LP) called Big Shots.

>>73846971

Mind you most of these aren't obscure, but they sure deserve more props than they get

>>73846971
It's pretty boring other than Mad Izm honestly.

>>73849121
Agree

>>73849170
Yeah, the Candle and I am Hip Hop are great songs.

>>73849701
Title track is overrated, rest of the album is underrated.

>>73850030
For sure.
