Yet another 5 star album from Em.Eminem RelapseThis gets a 5 and it's considered Em's weakest album. The lyrics are actually pretty amazing and complex if you pay attention. There are some annoying songs such as Bagpipes from Baghdad, Must Be the Ganja and Old Time's Sake. The majority of this album is still pretty good and considering how shitty rap is nowadays, this album should be praised. Personally, I think recovery is nowhere as good as this. Honestly, once you get past the accent (which isn't even that annoying) there's really nothing holding this album back except for a few boring tracks. The skits are also good and are all relevant to the next track. This album kind of reminds me of Tech N9ne. Probably where he got the whole "killer" and "cannibal" style from. It's different, but amazing. The bonus tracks are also very, very nice. My Darling is pretty much the song Em's been waiting to make since the Slim Shady EP. Careful What You Wish For is also absolutely brilliant. Love to see Ken Kaniff back too. Only disappointing performance from Em on this album was Crack a Bottle, where Dre tears it up, but somehow 50 steals the show. Not much else to say, but forget the haters here they are just following what the main review was and they decide to rate it without even thinking about their own opinion... or even listening to it.Eminem The Slim Shady LPEric B and Rakim Paid in FullEric B and Rakim Follow the LeaderEric B and Rakim Let the Rhythm Hit 'EmEric B and Rakim Don't Sweat the TechniqueGhostface Killah IronmanGhostface Killah Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald CityGZA Liquid SwordsIce Cube Death CertificateJ.

Straight Outta ComptonNas IllmaticMy favorite album of all time. However, many people who call this album "average", I don't honestly blame them. The first few times I listened to this I thought it was "good" at best. But once i sat down and listened to it without any distractions. I realized what was so great about this album. Not only was nothing flawed, from the beats to the lyrics to Nas' amazing flow, but Nas came from nothing and that is important to remember because he was about 19 or 20 years old when he recorded this and to see that someone from the slums could make such a masterpiece and not brag about a single thing, just tell about his hard struggles and life trying to survive was truly remarkable. So, if you found this album "good" or "average" I highly suggest you give it another listen, you honestly don't know what you're missing. As for people who say "the beats are annoying and the choruses are just the title of the song repeated over and over", well first off the beats are great they aren't the pop-oriented beats you hear in modern day Hip-Hop and as for the choruses... in 1994 a catchy chorus didn't make a song. The beat, lyrics and flow did. And if you judge songs by those 3 things, you are a true Hip-Hop fan, and if you are one of those it is nearly impossible to give this any less than a 5.Nas STILLmaticNas God's SonNas and Damian Marley Distant Relativesi feel bad for anyone who thinks this isnt a classic. it opens your mind to new insights. it truly is something amazing. patience is the best song, its just so beautiful, what happened to this music? music should open your mind like this album does. what do mainstream overrated artists open your mind to? nothing. rihanna just talks about having sex, drake just talks about being famous and getting girls, wayne just talks about having money, gucci mane and jeezy just talk about how they "used" to sell drugs... do you think the radio would ever play any of these songs? No. except MAYBE (just maybe) my generation cuz wayne is on it.Obie Trice CheersRaekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt IIRaekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...Redman Muddy WatersI dare you to find an album more fun and entertaining than this. Redman's flow, lyrics and beats are again right on point, and for the first (and only time in his career) the skits don't suck.Redman MalpracticeWhy does everyone say this is his worst album? I think it's as good as Muddy Waters.Scarface The World Is YoursScarface Mr. Scarface Is BackScarface The FixSnoop Dogg DoggystyleSnoop Dogg Tha Blue Carpet TreatmentThis album is just amazing. Easily his best since 1996's Tha Doggfather. Whether it's the club banger That's That Shit, the perfect opening song Think About It or just songs he made for the hell of it like Which One of You, this album is just perfect. With Dr. Dre on 4 tracks plus great production from Mr. Porter, Soopafly & Timbaland, this album proves that although Snoop has had major problems living up to Doggystyle he can still make amazing music. Only song that is skippable is probably Candy because of the terrible guests (Especially E-40 & Kurupt)Snoop Dogg Tha DoggfatherSooo underrated. Only the interludes and Me & My Doggz (Tear 'Em Off) weren't great. Although it clearly lacks the classic, timeless feeling of Doggystyle, it has a lot of tracks that are just as good as Doggystyle. For example Groupie is pretty much this albums It Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None). Highly suggest you check this out if you've heard Doggystyle. You won't be disappointed. Considering it was released while Death Row was falling apart (Dr. Dre left & Tupac had just died) he had released another classic, and his only classic album for 10 years until Tha Blue Carpet Treatment in 2006.Snoop Dogg Malice 'n' WonderlandTech N9ne AnghellicTech N9ne K.O.D.Tech N9ne The Calm Before The StormTech N9ne Absolute PowerTech N9ne Vintage TechYou're probably wondering how a compilation album can get a 5/5. Well if you are, you clearly haven't heard of the legend that is Tech N9ne. He is pretty much perfect. He has amazing flow, can rap at incredible speeds, amazing lyrics and in 11 LPs not one is "bad" or even "average". Also, on this album, Tech takes the time at the end of each track to tell you the background story about the next track, why it was unreleased and why he wanted to put it out now. Which shows that he does care about his fans and he's not just lazy and putting together left over tracks so he won't have to make a new album (he came out with a new album the next year). Definitely worth listening if you're a Tech fan... or even if you aren't. Tech N9ne Everready (The Religion)The Game LAXThe Notorious B.I.G.

This honestly isn't a bad album, in fact it's much much better than Da Game is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told. The beats are, for the most part, nice and no more annoying constant No Limit guest appearances. Snoop also got Dr. Dre back for a few tracks as well as other west coast artists that made Doggystyle a classic, like Kurupt, Nate Dogg & Dr. Dre. Xzibit is also sick on Bitch Please, with even sicker Dre production.Tech N9ne CelciusTech N9ne Misery Loves KompanyTech N9ne The Gates Mixed PlateThe Alchemist Chemical WarfareVarious Artists (Hip Hop) 8 Mile OSTWu-Tang Clan Wu-Tang Chamber MusicWu-Tang Clan Iron FlagWu-Tang Clan 8 DiagramsXzibit Man vs. MachineXzibit Weapons Of Mass Destruction3.0 good50 Cent CurtisB.o.B The Adventures of Bobby RayBoogie Down Productions Criminal Mindedeh, pretty good. very very overrated. i dont really see anything special about this and any reason for it to be a classic but whatever i guess. krs just seems to be a very overrated guy. people act like hes rakim or somethingEminem Recoveryi love eminem and all, but wtf is this? this wasnt made for his hardcore fans. this was made for idiots who dont know real hip hop. honestly im sooo disappointed. everyone at my school is obsessed with this. why? cuz its so commercial and mainstream. no one at my school ever talked about relapse. wtf is this? love the way you lie is such garbage. em i never thought you could sell out and use rihanna to get a #1 single but i guess i was wrong. i still got mad respect for em, but this is beyond disappointing. be constantly bashes encore and relapse on this when they were both better than this. ughh.... everyone who gave this above a 3.5 isn't a real em fan. your just a loser who only likes him cuz of this albums catchiness, i bet youve never heard relapse or slim shady LP or infinite. this is filled with meaningless songs, and although the lyrics are sick, dont make any sense and they are pointless (wont back down, cold wind blows, almost famous, WTP, on fire, so bad) ugh this album just makes me mad at all the people who think they are em fans just because they listen to love the way you lie 50 times a day on the radio.Jay-Z Vol. 3: Life and Times of S.

No Mercyit's alright. saying that it would be the next "all eyez on me" was really cocky and stupid. the first few songs are pretty good but after that he goes back to club songs and pointless/boring songs about him having sex (how original) sad cuz some of these beats were so ill and they went to wasteT.I.

The worst Wu-Tang related album I have heard. Pretty much none of the songs stand out as above average.Scarface Balls And My WordSnoop Dogg Da Game is to Be Sold, Not to Be ToldI am not the type of person to give this low of a rating to an album (albums that people often give a 1 or 2 to I usually give them a 4 or even 5). For example, The Last Kiss, Relapse & Back on My B.S. aren't bad in my opinion. But this was a terrible attempt by one of the most respected MCs of all time. Before he even dropped his first album people couldn't get enough of him. But after Death Row fell apart Snoop joined No Limit... and this album just shows how much of a disaster it was. It has No Limit guest appearances all over, including Master P, who tends to yell aimlessly and call it rapping. Overall if you are a big Snoop fan (like me) you might want to check it out, although you won't be going back to listen again anytime soon.Snoop Dogg Ego Trippin'Pretty good. Starts out pretty average, then Neva Have 2 Worry & Sexual Eruption bring the album up. However it goes back to average and it's not until Those Gurlz does the album redeem itself. The bonus tracks are actually pretty nice. However overall this is a huge disappointment after Tha Blue Carpet Treatment. Unless you love Snoop, this album isn't really for you. T.I. I'm SeriousT.I. Urban LegendTony Yayo Thoughts Of A Predicate FelonXzibit Full CircleMeh. Xzibit's worst album. There are some absolutely awful songs like On Bail and Movin' in Your Chucks. But there are some sick ones like Thank You and Black & Brown. Overall it's still not that bad, but if you aren't a big Xzibit fan..don't listen to this.2.0 poorJay-Z The Blueprint²: The Gift & the CurseJay-Z The BlueprintEh. here we have jay z, easily the most overrated rapper ever. this album is pretty good the first time you listen but after a few times, it becomes one of the most boring and uninteresting albums of all time. first off jays flow is, as usual, trash. even on the best songs renegade and the rulers back he spits so unevenly its painful. whether its takover (one of the worst disses of all time, he actually compliments illmatic while "dissing" nas) or the horrendous hola hovito (where his flow is at an all time low and he claims to be better than biggie), this album is VERY uninteresting. also renegade is only listenable because of em. anyways, jay once again you prove you are just above average garbage. i honestly dont understand why anyone would think hes a legend. hes pretty much garbage except for reasonable doubt. and his fans are such dick riders. hes so cocky its hard to believe. people make fun of wayne for calling himself the best rapper alive... jay claims to be the best rapper ever. and he always brings up the fact that all his albums were #1. that just proves he sucks. hes a bs mainstream artist, and mainstream buys into weak bullshit that poisons the minds of the kids who listen. jay you are ruining america and you are absolute garbage. i hate jeezy, gucci mane, soulja boy and drake but jay is the worst rapper ever.Jeezy Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101Jeezy The RecessionJohn Legend and the Roots Wake Up!this album is so boring i couldnt bear to finish listening to it... i love the roots but this album is AWFULRihanna Loudcan this dumb whore talk about anything other than having sex? shes ruining music this is absolute bullshit. music is supposed to open your mind to different topics (like street life). but she just doesnt seem to grasp that concept and instead she poisons the kids with her catchy radio friendly singles about having sex constantly. shes nothing more then a dumb whore.Rihanna Rated RSnoop Dogg Tha Last MealThis album isn't terrible, but it certainly isn't very good either. It's probably his most boring album, with boring guests & boring beats, the lyrics are the only thing that keep this album up. They aren't amazing but it does bring this album up, considering Snoop & Eve are the only rappers on this album with any lyrical talent.T.I. Paper Trailugh.. boring. thats the only word to describe it. t.i. has above average talent when i hear him as a guest appearance but his albums are very average and boring. this is supposed to be his best, and if it is then thats not looking very good for t.i. and why does he always talk about how much swag hes got. its really stupid he has like 7 songs about it. just look at swagga like us. kanye was horrible with his auto tune, t.i. just rambled on about nothing, jay z was terrible as usual and somehow wayne ended up being the best. pretty bad album.1.5 very poor50 Cent The MassacreHonestly the worst album i've ever heard. i could barely make it to the end. it is so long and so boring. this album has some of the worst songs ive ever heard like this is 50, position of power and just a lil bit. this is the definition of bullshit hip pop. fuck this album DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS SHIT!!! the only good song is gatman and robbin and only cuz of em's verse. 50's voice, flow, and lyrics are all garbage. most of the songs are designed for you to think they arent bad cuz they have a catchy beat and chorus, but do not fall for it all the songs are fucking terrible. Drake Thank Me Latermore garbage hip pop about girls, fame and money. ugh.. boring... NEXT! hes not even a rapper. this is trash, the guests suck and drake actually thinks hes not being offensive to women... all he talks about is fucking chicks wtf. G-A-R-B-A-G-E. do not listen to this, every song is the same. i would give him a slightly higher rating since he's new but he thinks he's the greatest thing in hip hop. he has no flow, no meaningful lyrics, no good guests, no good beats. nothing here is even worth listening to. Unforgettable and Light Up are the worst songs. Unforgettable features Jeezy (just what we need, two insanely terrible "rappers" on one track) and Light Up has Jay-Z, who still thinks he's so great. He hasn't put out a single good album since 1996! Get over your ego Jay, you fucking suck!Jay-Z American Gangsteroh my god, this is awful. jays flow is somehow worse then i ever thought it could be. it honestly sounds like he's not even trying. none of the songs are any good. Party life and sweet are some of the worst songs i've ever heard. success woudve been absolute trash without nas, but he still couldnt make the song any better considering how much jay sucked. hello brooklyn is also very boring (why is lil wayne on a song about brooklyn?). i know is the definition of hip pop. pray is also pretty much garbage, and none of the other tracks are even worth mentioning (no hook is painful to listen to, he can't spit evenly and the short hook in between his verses feels like heaven... but then Jay starts rapping again) once again jay you prove to be the most overrated rapper ever. its honestly painful to hear his flow/lyrics and know that people seriously consider him to be the best rapper ever.Soulja Boy The DeAndre Wayim not just giving this a 1 for no reason, i had the misfortune to listen to most of the songs and they are all terrible. pretty boy swag sounds like hes the kid in a wheelchair from malcolm in the middle and speakers going hammer is downright retarded. mean mug is soulja pretending to be a "gangsta" alongside another joke, 50 cent. (atleast 50 IS actually a gangsta) Hey Cutie is absolutely awful and i almost cried listening to it. there is one good song i have to admit, its grammy it has a nice beat and pretty good lyrics considering it is soulja boy after all. otherwise this is garbage. although it doesnt deserve to be burned and have the ashes buried like his first two albums, it still is a joke.Young Money We Are Young Moneyjust the fact that its called "we are young money" should be a big enough warning telling you not to listen to this. nicki minaj is pretty good, wayne just pisses me off considering how bad he has gotten ever since tha carter III, drake is just irritating with his corny voice and his garbage lyrics. gudda gudda is the fucking worst. he is so bad i can't believe someone with as little talent as him can get a record deal. there is NO promise for any of these god damn clowns (including wayne). nicki minaj is the only one who MIGHT go somewhere, but you cant really focus on her with all the garbage in this album.
