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. |
