The Greatest Rap/R'N'B Album Ever? (1 Viewer)

[hiphophooray123]

wow. just, wow.

dark arsenal this has NOTHING to do with LR being released last year. It is just not a classic, college dropout is much much better (except for 'breathe in, breathe out'). It is a great album i am not taking anything away from it, I am not going to overrate it and add to it though I give it as much credit as it deserves.


and a big NO at stillmatic being better than illmatic, damn how the fuck can stillmatic be better than illmatic when it has a song like braveheart party nas was clowned for that song by his fans. life after death is good but not as good as ready to die at all. You obviously value beats over lyrics.and thats wierd because imo the production on 'ready to die' shits on the production on 'life after death.' Hmmm life after death did have more party, modern beats on it like 'hypnotize' thats prob why you like it? u like mainstream beats.

i hope the other two were joking.

[Crestwood's_G]

Looks like your into West-Coast rap....

2001 > Doggystyle > Beg for Mercy

rnb doesnt = rap

its doggystyle>2001>beg for mercy and none of them are the greatest...doggystyle is classic but noway is it the best...snoops lyrics are pretty wack...how many times does he wanna say "i keep coming up with shit everyday with my nigga dr dre"

haha beg for mercy is basically NY rap

and the best commercial rap album of all time in my opinion is illmatic....

LMAO at redrum typing nigger haha

 

[Oddy Nocki]

lol....i love Kanye...been listening to him since by sister brought back his mixtapes all the way back in 2001....gold digger = mad song = enoying after a while = mad song when your absent from it for time lol

Nope I don't get it. Kanye equals shit mc. His phasing and voice make me think he is stupid. His production on the other hand is very clever. And some of his hooks are impressive.

I'm going with Paid in full. That shit is crazy.

Or "Here to save you all" Chino XL. I don't care what anyone thinks that shit is fucking insane.

kanye aint write his own shit

 

[Huratio]

i would have to say it would be either...

Dr Dre - 2001
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle

or...

G-Unit - Beg For Mercy

2001.

 

[icraig88]

im pretty sure this aint new but i downloaded 2 mad albums the other day....

jay-z - black chronic
the game - devils advocate mixtape

i thought the use of dre's beats and jay-z's rhymes in 'black chronic' was a very good idea and was an awesome mix album and in 'devils advocate' the best remix of dear mama ull ever hear with anthony hamilton... both albums get my approval

BULLSHIT.

Kanye > Nas (in terms of being a rapper)

 

[hiphophooray123]

^ lol

 

[redruM]

^ lol

Its true.

Also his flow > Jay-z

 

[ElGronko]

IF you want to break it down into technicalities, then yes, Kanye has a better flow than Nas.

His multisyllables are far more frequent and complex than Nas', which are quite often basic. You can not argue this, you can break it down into mathimatical fact. Also, generally Kanye uses more wordplay and simile than Nas.

Nas made a classic album for his time in illmatic, but I think that album is considerably overrated. Whilst it is a great album, I think some of the major reasons for its success are based on production merits. He had some of the best producers of all time on that album; Pete Rock, Premier and Q-tip dropped the hottest beat of his career on that.

In my opinion it was the production that mad that album.

nas>>>kanye...kanye has 2 albums ghostwritten...nas has 8 6 of which are classics

Im sick of people acting like kanye is shit now that he's popular. He deserves to be where he is because he earned his position. He's been producing for a while and he's cocky because everything he was doing was recieving rewards.

As a rapper, kanye is better to listen to than nas.

And Nas is hugely overrated. He had one good album. Maybe a couple songs after that.

 

[hiphophooray123]

i disagree with the 'kanye > nas' comment but yes im sick of people acting like kanye is shit now too. I mean he is a decent rapper even if the shit is ghostwritten, and the production is definently on point. 'gold digger' was a fun but very overplayed song, and now i can't stand it, but there was alot of good songs on that album.

Kanye is definently good. And if anyone uses his personality to justify hatin on his music then you are sad. It should just be about the music not how cocky he is, that really shouldn't affect your perception of his music.

 

[ElGronko]

Dude, his shit is not ghostwritten, his flow is pretty unique and identifiable.

Like, it's not your standard AB AB flow, it has so many quirks that it really couldn't be written by anyone else.

Who are you proposing writes it? Jig?

 

[hiphophooray123]

rhymefest for one. he recieved a grammy for penning 'jesus walks.'
