somberlain: Top Hip Hop Albums Of The Decade

somberlain 12.29.09	Not a great decade for hip hop imo
Fuff24 12.29.09	not at all. This lists needs some RJD2
Inveigh 12.29.09	I thought it was a fantastic decade for hip hop personally... 1, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 14 would all make a run at my list (I dig 12 and 15 too) but I'd add: P.O.S. - Audition, Ipecac Neat Atmosphere - GodLovesUgly, Lucy Ford Aesop Rock - Labor Days Brother Ali - Shadows on the Sun Mr. Lif - I Phantom There's probably more I'm forgetting..but whateva. Still, really good list dude.
Inveigh 12.29.09	oh shit! Also: MF DOOM - Mm...Food? Madvillain - Madvillainy Felt - Felt 2: A Tribute to Lisa Bonet There, that should do it.
somberlain 12.29.09	Yeah Inveigh, still need to check those out, haven't heard a single one of those you listed or RJD2
Inveigh 12.29.09	Word, do it NOW!!! j/k, but seriously, start with P.O.S. and Brother Ali and then work your way through the others. Felt is Murs and Slug (from Atmosphere), so that might not be a bad starting point either. RJD2's solo albums are pretty much all instrumental, but he did the beats for Magnificent City by Aceyalone and also for all Soul Position albums (which is Blueprint + RJD2)
somberlain 12.29.09	Yeah Ima get on that quick. so lets see, the ones you didn't mention are 2,3,4,5,8 any thoughts on those?
Inveigh 12.29.09	I've never geen a big Jay-Z fan, so I haven't really listened to enough of The Blueprint to have a strong opinion on it. I like that Eminem cd, but again, I'm not enough of a fan to put that in my top 20-25 hip hop albums of the decade -- although it is good. Stillmatic I just haven't heard enough of, but I love Illmatic and God's Son. I haven't heard that Scarface album, the only one I have is Emeritus, and it's pretty ok. Sage Francis is hit or miss for me, I've never been able to get into an entire album. Certain songs are awesome (Makeshift Patriot, Crack Pipes, Good Fashion, etc.) but it's a little too much on the spoken word and not enough on the hip hop to get me. I agree that Personal Journals is probably his best though.
somberlain 12.29.09	You need to check out some more Scarface, I just put up a review for his first album, gonna review some more of his stuff. The Diary and The Fix are probably his best. If the only thing you've heard from him is Emeritus I can see why you wouldn't want to hear more
Inveigh 12.29.09	fair enough, I should probably give him more of a chance. I've heard lots of comparisons to Ghostface and Raekwon (mafioso rap and such) and I like me some Geto Boys, so I should probably get on that.
somberlain 12.29.09	The Diary is probably you best bet. Most of his stuff hasn't been reviewed here so I'm gonna get on that. And the songs I listed for Personal Journals I think are amazing, especially "Inherited Scars"
Inveigh 12.29.09	word. I haven't heard that first Sage song, so I'll check that out. Also, how did you leave Walk Like a Man off the 3:16 description???
somberlain 12.29.09	I was going to but went with Freak These Tales in the end, The Pain is easily my fav though. Check out Inherited Scars, it's incredible
Inveigh 12.29.09	will do, I'll be downloading a bunch tonight, it sounds like haha
somberlain 12.29.09	Also check "Seen A Man Die" off Scarface's The Diary, one of his best
Inveigh 12.29.09	how long before this^ gets deleted? please say soon.
Rubbadonga 12.29.09	that's not even funny. poor attempt at trolling
MUNGOLOID 06.22.10	if 14 is on here and the cold vein isn't, then i really need to cop it.
Urinetrouble 06.22.10	cold vein is better
somberlain 06.22.10	not a fan of Cold Vein, outstanding production but the rapping is awful imo
Urinetrouble 06.22.10	there voices aare bad, not the rapping
somberlain 06.22.10	I don't like their flow OR their voices, lyrics are ok good though
Urinetrouble 06.22.10	i cant find a bad album on here but i know you like gucci mane and hes wack so thar. gucci has lame lyrics and an annoying voice where he mumbles all his words cold vein is awesome,e. you can be opinionated, but i think your wrongz
somberlain 06.22.10	"i cant find a bad album on here but i know you like gucci mane and hes wack so thar" wtf? I like Gucci Mane? what do you base that on?
Urinetrouble 06.22.10	one of yo lists i swear has you sayin guccis new album is classic. maybe im confused. i just saw it earlier
somberlain 06.22.10	On my "Somberlain Wants To Thank (some of) You" list, I thank Bulldog but say that it's NOT a 5
Urinetrouble 06.22.10	oh okay thats it. nevermind. sorryz. p.s. listening to the new eminem itunes bonus tracks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2LqMsn_v-E ridaz-produced by dr. dre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAUqfjIz2QE& em ft. slaughterhouse-one session produced by just blaze
