Drifter 07.09.17	^^^^^^
Drifter 07.09.17	Check People Without Shoes - Thoughts Of An Optimist
GodLovesUgly 07.09.17	Thanks ianblxdsoe and butcherboy, glad you both liked it.
GodLovesUgly 07.09.17	Cheers joesmoe4000, liked the diversity of the list and commented.
GodLovesUgly 07.09.17	TheMrAlexK and Drifter I swear this isn't as generic as the majority of lists lol. Sometimes some of the most popular just happen to be some of the best though. I rushed the list a bit and have edited it since I first posted it after leaving some shocking titles out.
GodLovesUgly 07.09.17	Oh and I'll listen to Thoughts Of An Optimist
Papa Universe 07.09.17	I shall drink to that.
GodLovesUgly 07.09.17	UniqueUniverse I'll drink with you haha.
Drifter 07.09.17	Sweeeeeet
Thalassic 07.09.17	List rules In a just world this will get featured
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	nocuffin do you think he should have been featured?, Vol 2 is great all the way through, I know how annoying his subject matter can get but that album is perfection.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Cheers Drifter.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Thanks Thalassic, glad you think it should be featured to bad it's not a "just" world haha.
hal1ax 07.10.17	Alex is right tbh.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Lol meh, what of these classics shouldn't be on here?
hal1ax 07.10.17	85 for starters
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Man at least that's not a generic album that's always on lists as Alex was tryna put it.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Also that album amazes me with subject matter, rhyme patterns and production just the overall atmosphere of it blows me away each time.
hal1ax 07.10.17	yea i suppose it is kind of a unique pick for a 'best hip hop' list hehe. but there might be a reason for that :p
hal1ax 07.10.17	89 & 98 a couple of my favs
joesmoe4000 07.10.17	hal1ax it would be cool if you could critic my hip hop list
Deez 07.10.17	Dude, Juggaknots- Clear Blue Skies Close to criminal not being on this list.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Haha, hal1ax, the order has changed a bit since I edited it a bit after noticing a couple more I missed out.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	deezer666, I still haven't heard that and have been meaning to for a long time.
Deez 07.10.17	Mate, For real. Judging by this list you will love it. Its HIGH up for me. Also Gravediggaz should be on here yo. Smif n Wessun -The Shining Da Grassroots Passage Through Time People Without Shoes - Thoughts Of An Optimist Main Source- Breaking atoms
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	deezer666, I need to listen to all of those man. I've heard The Shining but it needs a re-listen, Gravediggaz I don't think I've heard the album of. Also will check the rest out soon. The main reason I did this list is because I don't like most of the ones I've seen and also for reccomendations/reminders of what I've been sleeping on.
Deez 07.10.17	First Gravediggaz only (6 feet deep) rest suck. First is gold.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Alright, I'll check 6 Feet Deep in the next few days.
Drifter 07.10.17	The fact that people without shoes only has 2 ratings on here is such a shameeeeee Classic album, I might 5 it tbh
Kman418 07.10.17	check koopsta knicca
joesmoe4000 07.10.17	if he hasn't already should check out Mystic Stylez
Deez 07.10.17	Yeah was gonna say^^^ Drifter I put in on teh database about 2 weeks ago. Wasnt even here :(
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Drifter, yea looked it up and saw there was only two ratings, I'm very keen to hear it.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Yea I've gotta listen to some Three Six Mafia.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	deezer666 Six Feet Deep is awesome, love the energy. The production is amazing, didn't even know Prince Paul worked with RZA, love the craziness and overall subject matter. It doesn't quite make this list for me though, I'm working on a part 2. Breaking Atoms is also awesome, I can't believe I only just listened to it. Great production and very important subjects are raised on it. It also doesn't quite make the list for one reason for another but is great enough for the part 2 as well. Da Shinnin' on the other hand has great atmosphere, dark and gritty beats that are atmospheric as hell. Great NY street raps, love the subject matter and styles of the MC's, there personalities really mesh and it's one of the best albums I've actually heard. Clear Blue Skies is also a classic and both deserve a place on this list for sure, it was right up my alley. Very inventive lyricism and unique style, I was in awe throughout. Pretty much perfect production and one I can see myself going back to forever. I still need to spin the other two and probably will today, I'll get back to you on that.
Deez 07.10.17	Great stuff my man. Yeah that Juggaknots record is literally perfect man. Its still massively slept on. Breeze Brewins lyricism on it is god tier. The whole thing is.
Masochist 07.10.17	The glaring omissions I can see are 'Straight Outta Compton' and 'The Chronic'
Trundle 07.10.17	three Atmosphere albums, but no Jeru the Damaja? Still a great list though
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	deezer666 yea after listening to it I was surprised to see that not many people had actually rated it, it should be considered as essential as The Cold Vein and Madvillian IMO and yes literally perfect.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Masochist I'm actually a big fan of both of those albums, they get regular play. But I don't think they are two of the most well polished Hip Hop albums ever. For example I think the last song on each of them don't fit and they each have a few songs that I would consider filler. Not like everything on here is perfect but for some reason I can only put those two in my Part 2 list.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Laeddis I'm a bit biased towards Atmosphere and also The Roots I guess. My favorite Hip Hop discographies are The Roots, El-P, Atmosphere and Masta Ace so that's where the Atmosphere bias comes in. As for Jeru, The Sun Rises In The East was definitely considered but I wouldn't know what to replace it with, glad you like the list.
Orb 07.10.17	Nice Typical Cats inclusion
Trundle 07.10.17	@God, that's sick man, Must have been tough narrowing down Masta Ace's discog.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Evokaphile glad you like the inclusion, I was waiting for someone to mention that classic.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Laeddis Yea very tough, I wanted Slaughtahouse and Take a look around on here as well but decided to givers others a fair chance lol but yea Ace's disog's on another level of perfection.
Drifter 07.10.17	Oh yeah check Hieroglyphics - Full Circle So so so good
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Drifter I was just listening to that for the second time and it's going on this list once I edit it, amazing album.
Drifter 07.10.17	Niiiiccceeeeee
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Thanks Drifter, Liquid Swords could arguably be number 1. This is just in alphabetical order, don't know how I'd rank these.
L4titudes 07.10.17	Actually 49 is 49 cause G is the 7th letter of the alphabet there happens to be 48 albums alphabetically behind it.
GodLovesUgly 07.10.17	Haha L4titudes, Word.
L4titudes 07.11.17	Check this man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_hCDufetU4 Says EP but it's an album and a fucking good one
Deez 07.11.17	hahah read up dude @L4t
GodLovesUgly 07.11.17	Yes Clear Blue Skies is a masterpiece haha, I'm gonna edit this list a bit later because there are a few that need to be added and I think I know what to replace.
Risodo 07.11.17	awesome list
GodLovesUgly 07.11.17	Thanks Risodo, glad you like it.
Deez 07.11.17	I just did a slept on hip hop list myself man including a few I rec'd you all ready (which youve checked) there may be a few on there youd dig.
Winesburgohio 07.11.17	ho hum needs more MEMPHIS JUNTS
Deez 07.11.17	true
Risodo 07.11.17	Cheers dude, I favorited the list and in the next weekend i'll grab a beer and listen some of your recs
GodLovesUgly 07.11.17	deezer666 just commented on your list.
GodLovesUgly 07.11.17	Yea that's true I am sleeping on the Memphis scene, Mystic Stylez is one I'm checking out soon and will need to find more Memphis Hip Hop.
cosmopazz 07.11.17	lmao nigga just marry him already
GodLovesUgly 07.11.17	Risodo, awesome man. Hope you find some stuff you like here.
LeftyMcRighty 07.11.17	Great list, God
joesmoe4000 07.11.17	if your open to other genres of music i can't recommend "Michael Franti And Spearhead - Home" enough.it's truly a '90s masterpiece that fuses Funk,Soul/R&B,Folk & Rock like no other album but at the heart it's a Hip Hop album with great depth & thought provoking lyrics.all the tracks are truly gems but the select tracks to give you a idea of what this group is like would be "Dream Team" & "Crime To Be Broke In America".it's sad how underrated & forgotten this album is today as all the songs messages ring as true as the day they were recorded.
joesmoe4000 07.11.17	also speaking of Memphis Hip Hop you need to check out 8ball and MJG - Comin' Out Hard if you haven't already it's the epitome of Memphis Hip Hop!
Drifter 07.12.17	^^^^^^^^^ Used to love that album to death but kinda overplayed it I think. The sampling is to die for
Drifter 07.12.17	Also, not sure if you're really into the style, but Paris' album Guerrilla Funk is tied for my all time fav rap album, and literally had goat production (all by himself too)
GodLovesUgly 07.12.17	Thanks LeftyMcRighty, glad you liked it.
GodLovesUgly 07.12.17	joesmoe4000 yea I'm definitely open to other genres, I'm not one of those people that only listens to Hip Hop. So I'm always open to explore music from any genre, I'm vaguely familiar with Michael Franti And Spearhead as I've heard a few songs. Definitely need to hear an album though so I'll make the first Home and I'll quickly check those two tracks for sure.
GodLovesUgly 07.12.17	I've heard of Comin" Out Hard but yes have been sleeping on the Memphis ish'. I know 8Ball & MJG are very popular so it's about time I check that album.
GodLovesUgly 07.12.17	Drifter oh Paris, I've heard at least a few tracks from him. Very political, sort of like PE and Dead Prez?, I'll give that album a go.
Drifter 07.12.17	Yeah he's VERY political but its a lil toned down on that album and its gfunk heaven. That and his album Unleashed are very west coast and much less political than something like Devil Made Me Do It and Sleeping With The Enemy
GodLovesUgly 07.12.17	Yea I thought so, Political rap is all good but can get annoying lol. The fact that the album is toned down with a G-Funk aspect makes me very interested.
joesmoe4000 07.12.17	kirblagoop that sh*t is steaming garbage!
GodLovesUgly 07.12.17	nocuffin I'm open for suggestions but after listening to the first song on that it doesn't seem up my alley at all, might get to in eventually though.
GodLovesUgly 07.12.17	joesmoe4000 Haha oh shit.
