Essential Stoner Rap Albums
I've smoked for like six years now and it's worked out for me pretty well. Haven't been listening to hip-hop all that long but I'm told I have a really good taste in smoke hip-hop. Ten essential 'stoner rap' albums. Also, if you haven't already play Hemp Tycoon. Shit rules. |
1 | | Dr. Dre The Chronic
Just look at the credentials: an album cover that's a play off of the Zig-Zag logo and a title directly referencing a well known slang term for cannabis, you know this is the penultimate smoke album from the get-go. Dre's slow drawl and funky production style sound good when you're high and the simple lyrics are easy to follow. |
2 | | Afroman The Good Times
Everybody has heard Afroman's anthem "Because I Got High", it's his opus and it's fairly well-known, but this album is so much deeper than that. It's funny as hell (especially when you're blazed) and every track is worth its spot. Quite a fun listen. |
3 | | Curren$y Pilot Talk
After he got booted off of Cash Money, Curren$y began steadily climbing into pot raps. Although he's a relative new comer, Spitta is pretty damn good at what he does. If you're a stoner, then it's just so easy to relate to him. Ski Beatz is a masterful producer. |
4 | | Devin the Dude Just Tryin' Ta Live
The fucking master. This man needs no introduction and the album needs no description. Get it. |
5 | | Digable Planets Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)
These guys are so chill lyrically (they're just a bunch of hippies who love pot) and their simplistic jazzy beats are so calming. |
6 | | KiD CuDi Man on the Moon: The End of Day
He loves pot and he's not afraid to put his insecurities on display. The beats are just so relaxed and groovy too. |
7 | | Dr. Octagon Dr. Octagonecologyst
No matter how many times you listen to it, it will make you say, "Woah. What the fuck?" |
8 | | MF DOOM MM.. Food
Doom beats? Raps about food? Sign me the fuck up. |
9 | | Bone Thugs-N-Harmony E 1999 Eternal
The members of Bone Thugs are (read: were) such great rappers, the production is fucking amazing and the lyrics are pretty great too. |
10 | | Das Racist Shut Up, Dude
I'm at the Pizza Hut, I'm at the Taco Bell, I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. |
