joesmoe4000
03.28.14 | it does have Aquemini #28 & Stankonia is a solid album compared to the first three albums but i
already have Outkast represented with my two favorite albums by them i only try to put two albums at
most by a certain artist on this list.same situation with eminem the SS LP is a classic but compared
to his others works the two after that are my favorites. |
joesmoe4000
03.28.14 | i could not fit all classic albums on this list i try'ed to represent all legit artist of hip hop also mixed in with current albums i really enjoy this is more of a list of my favorite albums that i listen to. |

ethos
03.28.14 | great stuff, about five or so of these i haven't heard
definitely check quasimoto - as well as the pharcyde, brought an insane amount of personality/fun to
the genre... kinda changed the game as far as progression and experimental hip-hop is concerned |
ethos
03.28.14 | this list is insanely good though, you've established some amazing taste.
props for the AZ feature, quasi's MHBs is gonna blow your mind
always nice to see common as well along with erik b/rakim, check out j dilla's donuts too although there's no lyrics and it's strictly instrumental the beats pack too much soul to pass up |
ethos
03.28.14 | you may also enjoy three six mafia's mystic stylez, n.o.d.'s self titled... uhh deep puddle dynamic's the taste of rain.. why kneel? and typical cat's self-titled too
man, this is a great list - bone thugs too.. wow |

DominionMM1
03.28.14 | wish i could rec you something but you've got pretty much everything that i'd rec here already. i mean
you even got the dayton family. mos def maybe. |
LambsBread
03.28.14 | honestly the best hip hop list I've ever seen on this site.
I'd check out the group Scienz of Life (their album Project Overground) and/or MF Grimm (Scars & Memories) . Both were part of Monster Island Czars with MF DOOM, GRIMM did stuff with DOOM extensively and DOOM once said MF Grimm is the only rapper better than him and i'd agree. Scienz of Life is solid underground gold as well: check out these songs they did with DOOM:

are you serious? |
BIGMEGAPENIS
02.15.15 | WOW THIS IS A GOOD LIST |
hikingmetalpunk
02.15.15 | excellent list, here's a rec; the beatnuts |
Masochist
02.15.15 | Badass list, man! You got 'The Diary', you got 'The Eminem Show'...even Z-Ro on here, yeah!
But...there's one glaring omission that I see right off the bat, and that's nothing by Mos Def or Talib Kweli. Separately, they each have at least one classic album (Mos Def has 'Black On Both Sides'; Talib has 'Quality' and, as Reflection Eternal, 'Train of Thought'). But they work best together, as they gave the hip-hop world 'Black Star', which is an undeniable classic.
Also noticed a lack of Jay-Z. Granted, he's not the greatest in rapping ability, but his earlier albums are incredibly passionate and really fun to listen to. 'Reasonable Doubt' is amazing, as is 'The Blueprint'.
Digging deep for recs, I might suggest the following:
Evitan - 'Speed of Life' (featuring Dres from Black Sheep and Jarobi from ATCQ)
Joey Bada$$ - 'B4 DA $$' (90's throwback released earlier this year)
Panacea - 'Ink Is My Drink' (Jazzy hip-hop) |
Masochist
02.15.15 | FUCK. Love that this is a year old. |
joesmoe4000
02.16.15 | i agree black star should be on this list not a very big jay-z fan but also agree about reasonable doubt it is worthy of a spot on this list.joey bada$$ b4 da money is a dope album.i like Mos Def & think Black On Both Sides is damn near a classic also worthy of a spot on here.i definitely think Talib is a solid MC but i haven't really been crazy about anything he has done besides Black Star.i am really busy here lately but when i get a chance to think my thoughts through i will make some minor tweaks to this list & will definitely check out your recs. |
YetAnotherBrick
02.16.15 | List made me shed a tear |
LambsBread
02.16.15 | seems like i made that last comment like two days ago, been almost a year. you better have checked out Scienz of Life by now |

GodLovesUgly
07.09.17 | I love the diversity of this list, doesn't stick mainly to one era or one coast. A great mix of Underground and mainstream, some I haven't heard so I'll use this for future reference. |
joesmoe4000

BlackwaterPork

GodLovesUgly
08.04.19 | Just checking back, 13 albums I still haven't heard but am pretty much interested in all of them. Man so much props for Armor Of God, I'm going through Vakill's discography at the moment and he's literally one of the greatest lyricists ever and also has great production. |
joesmoe4000
08.10.19 | i argee Vakill is a top notch lyricist mad underrated Hip Hop Heads know what's up tho.i'm glad throughout the years this list has helped you discover new music you never heard before. |
GodLovesUgly
09.24.19 | Yea the real heads at least know for sure, yea no problem I was sleeping on quite a few of these artists and this list is impressive with it's range. |
combustion07
05.20.20 | Good list. Props for 64. Dayton Family gets overlooked but they're one of the best rap groups imo. Solo stuff is good too. Check out Skambino Mob for another good Michigan group rapping gutter shit. Both of them got murdered. RIP |
combustion07
05.20.20 | I haven't heard 34 or 76 so I'll get on them. Props for having Doppel on here too man. Crazy underrated duo. Z-Ro is dope too. I prefer the first album but really can't go wrong with him period |
