Typhoon24
07.01.16 | biggie is rolling in his grave because of 17-19 XD |
TVC15
07.01.16 | "biggie is rolling in his grave because of 17-19 XD" I clearly said in no order lmao |
Typhoon24
07.01.16 | I saw but still lol it hurts |
TVC15
07.01.16 | I didn't want to repeat albums by the same artist so clipping. and Chance were sort of filler choices and Tha Carter III is the fuckin pinnacle of pop rap and even then it has brilliant hip hop songs like A Milli, Dr. Carter, 3 Peat, Misunderstood (and maybe a few more I'm missing off the top of my head).
Simply curious because of the topic of the thread, what's yours Typhoon? |
Typhoon24
07.01.16 | pretty much the highest rated albums of the '90s on this website. it takes a nation of millions and paid in full from the '80s. MMLP, Mm...food for the '00s. Shad's TSOL for '10s. |
Keyblade
07.01.16 | carter 3 is superb yea, when is the lil wayne meme gonna die |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | wayne is horrid |
Keyblade
07.01.16 | i cant see how he's any worse than riff raff tbh |
TVC15
07.01.16 | >wayne is horrid
>has Peach Panther rated a 5
>has not rated a single Lil Wayne album |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | lol riff raff is funny
lil wayne tries to be a legit rapper and he sounds like an alien
riff raff is an idiot, but I can't help the entertainment I get from peach panther, as bad as it may be in context
|
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | @tvc go to my rym |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | i likely dont have any wayne rated on there either but ive heard many of his studio albums and a few of his more lauded tapes
cant do it, he sounds like an alien |
TVC15
07.01.16 | "lil wayne tries to be a legit rapper and he sounds like an alien" Before he went to shit with Rebirth and I Am Not a Human Being he actually had legit fucking music regardless of what his voice sounded like. If anything, listen to Dr. Carter, it is an overall fantastic hip hop song in every sense |
TVC15
07.01.16 | Just cos he "sounds like an alien" that shouldn't take away from the clearly talented rhyming skills he displays on several songs in Tha Carter III |
Keyblade
07.01.16 | he was a legit rapper and the undisputed best in the game from about 2005-2009 |
Sinternet
07.01.16 | a milli a milli a milli a milli |
lazyeye
07.01.16 | kanye west- yeezus
kendrick lamar- good kid maad city
eyedea and abilities- by the throat
death grips- exmillitary
schoolboy q- oxymoron |
Keyblade
07.01.16 | i mean u can not like his music for whatever reason, but his skill was undoubted. likening him to a serious riff raff is dumb |
Sinternet
07.01.16 | lil wayne has some really great individual tracks but i kinda tire of him after a while |
BallsDeep
07.01.16 | Hmm probably
Mobb Deep - the infamous
Nine - cloud 9
GZA - Liquid Swords
Nas - Illmatic
Bone Thugs N Harmony - 1999 Eternal
unoriginal picks but theres a reason they're classics |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | "and the undisputed best in the game from about 2005-2009"
false
incorrect

misguided |
TVC15
07.01.16 | Sinternet, if it's not too much trouble on your part, what would your top 20 look like? |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | @tvc didnt like the carter 3 at all
not saying hes a 'bad' rapper when he tries
saying I simply dont like him, his gimmick or his music at all |
AlexKzillion
07.01.16 | Yeah he was at the top of the game, but certainly not the best. |
TVC15
07.01.16 | "not saying hes a 'bad' rapper when he tries
saying I simply dont like him, his gimmick or his music at all"
Ok this reasoning makes much more sense now and is very understandable. Only reason you were giving prior to this was he sounded like an alien so this clears a lot up now |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | legit tho his voice/rapping tone is like offensive to my ears
A IS FOR ASHLEY |
BallsDeep
07.01.16 | Top 1 would be The Infamous just so you're all aware |
Keyblade
07.01.16 | "false

u might not like him cuz he sounds like an alien or w/e, but it's indisputable that he was untouchable in that period sorry |
BallsDeep
07.01.16 | was he really though? |
AnimalsAsSummit
07.01.16 | 1. outkast - atliens
2. justin warfield - my field trip to planet 9
3. company flow - funcrusher plus
4. geto boys - we can't be stopped
5. the pharcyde - bizarre ride ii |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | "but it's indisputable that he was untouchable in that period sorry"
theres like countless rap records from 2005-2009 that were better than anything he released and like countless rappers active during that period who are better rappers, like, absurd comment imo |
TVC15
07.01.16 | Yeah guys Starless is right tho. Eminem was murdering every rapper in the game with Encore and Relapse |
Keyblade
07.01.16 | lol |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | wtf are you talking about |
AlexKzillion
07.01.16 | Two of the most down right annoying albums of all time right there. |
TVC15

Sinternet
07.01.16 | 'Sinternet, if it's not too much trouble on your part, what would your top 20 look like?'

18. J Dilla - Donuts
19. Nas - Illmatic
20. Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | black star is outrageous, best thing either rapper ever did imo
im prolly just fanboying hard to justify 5's placement, but its literally the perfect east coast 90s throwback production-wise, like a legit pipe dream
|
TVC15
07.01.16 | Yeah man Mos Def is a horribly underrated MC |
StarlessCore
07.01.16 | hes easily one of my top 10 fave rappers
he doesnt really have the body of work to support that, but if you look at his best stuff, dudes just a freaking genius |
BallsDeep
07.01.16 | Hey Toy soldiers is one of eminems best tracks and has a absolutely killer beat but overall encore was definitely where he started to shart the bed so to speak |
twwerkcity
07.01.16 | Outkast - Aquemini, Company flow - Funcrusher Plus, Danny Brown - XXX, Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music, Wu Tang - 36 Chambers, Kanye West - 808s |

Typhoon24

ugk too but they don't make hip hop records, they make country rap tunes muthafucka |
AlexKzillion
07.01.16 | [2] If you haven't checked Outkast yet then seriously what are you even doing/ |

LotusFlower
07.01.16 | oh All Gold Everything has some otherworldly beats
only problem here is Soulja |

iloveyouall
07.01.16 | I knew they would be your 5 before you commented tbh.
|
LotusFlower
07.01.16 | id be lying if i said i wasnt liking skate boy, i just dont think soulja is that formidable of a vocalist 80% of the time. Beat for Money in my pocket is otherworldy too. |
iloveyouall
07.01.16 | okay, I'll admit, soulja is hit and miss, but he gets waaaay too much hate, and tbh, I've never found him irritating... more just misfitting. still, love skate boy to death. love the based sound. |

07.01.16 | I mean, the only other songs from solja I ever heard was Pretty Boy Swag and Crank That and theyre both universally hated. im not one of those losers who 1 every tape he drops on principle that its soulja boy tho.
i might 3.5 or 3 this. dunno. |

Eminem - 'The Slim Shady LP'
Kendrick Lamar - 'To Pimp A Butterfly'
Killer Mike - 'R.A.P. Music'
Mobb Deep - 'The Infamous'

5. Jay-Z - The Blueprint
Liquid Swords, Me Against the World, Ready to Die, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, and The Pimp & Da Gangsta could all be on that list too though. Very hard to narrow down to 5. |
Mystletainn
08.02.16 | dang, i'm the only person reppin Souls here |
iloveyouall
08.02.16 | bruh, it's not like you're trying to rep soulja or somethin'.
at least people take you seriously. |
Mystletainn
08.02.16 | truee
I think I now know why I find rap boring... there's so much focus on lyrics and flow and lyrics are the least important thing to me in judging music, maybe that's why I figured I'd try getting into cloud rap instead. |
iloveyouall
08.02.16 | if you don't want lyrics and just want shit that bumps in the whip, why tf aren't you listening to drill already?????????????????? |
Claystation
08.02.16 | No Particular order top 10
EL-P- Fantastic Damage
Madvillany- Madvillany
Dark Time Sunshine- Vessel
GZA- Liquid Swords
A Tribe Called Quest- Midnight Marauders
Cunninlynguists- Oneirology
Run the Jewels- Run the Jewels
Aesop Rock- Skelethon
De La Soul- 3 Feet High and Rising
Wu Tang Clan- Wu Tang 36 Chambers |
Mystletainn
08.02.16 | "if you don't want lyrics and just want shit that bumps in the whip, why tf aren't you listening to drill already??????????????????"
Looking for meaning in "intelligent" lyrics is lame.
I've never even heard of drill... but rateyourmusic says it's basically trap and yeah after trying some cloud rap and if I digged it I was probably going to try some trap.
I'm guessing I should check chief keef
|
Keyblade
08.02.16 | dude make a playlist out of my most recent list and turn up in ur car |
Hawks
08.02.16 | Chief Keef, Lil Reese, Lil Durk, G Herbo, King Louie, P Rico, FBG Duck, and Lil Mister would all be good drill artists to start with yeah. |
Mystletainn
08.02.16 | that list has some songs on there that would come on the radio when I was like 10, maybe I'll revisit them sometime. |
iloveyouall
08.02.16 | hawks pretty much killed it.
if you like cloudy shit, get on yung gleesh and adamn killa extra hard yah. |
Mystletainn
08.02.16 | I don't know enough about cloud and trap to even know what the difference is tbh |
Keyblade
08.02.16 | start with Finally Rich, that's always a good place to start |
iloveyouall
08.02.16 | way to go with keef (kinda abbreviated):
finally rich --> back from the dead --> sorry for the weight --> almighty dp 1 & 2 --> nobody 2--> back from the dead 2 --> nobody --> bang 2 --> almighty so |
