Off the top of my head
De La Soul
Cunninlynguists
Common
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
Aesop rock

For me, I would say that it would be Kendrick Lamar. I love his stuff. Or the Pro Era stuff

CYNE tbh

I love Kendrick, but you can’t list him yet. Too early in his career.

My choice would be Kanye. All 5 albums I have loved, even though 808s was a low. Hopefully he’ll have more to come.

Co-sign both Common and Kanye West.

All sixty-three of Moka Only’s albums lol

Must Have — Masta Ace

Must Not Have — Kanye West

Outkast and co-sign on Yeezus

CunninLynguists
Aceyalone
Illogic
Elzhi
Masta Ace
Del
Gift of Gab/Blackalicious
One Be Lo/Binary Star
DOOM
Chino Xl
Vakill

the roots
Common

The Roots, OutKast, Kanye, Shad

Lord Finesse

Scarface

I’d say Outkast and Kanye. Depends how cool you are w/ 808s and Idlewild. Also, Biggie and Dr. Dre, although theirs are small discographies.

Common
Nas

808s ain’t no fuckin' low, bruv. Take a walk at 5 AM on a morning in early December while bumping that shit. Then you’ll get it.

El-P
Beastie Boys
A Tribe Called Quest

Outkast
Kanye
Cunninlynguists
Lupe (fuck off)

Nas. Get rid of Nastradamus and everything is good.
Common
A Tribe Called Quest
Ghostface

Gang Starr.

Kool G Rap
Clipse
Little Brother
Eyedea & Abilities
Redman

Pac
T.I. (Take away No Mercy/I’m Serious)

Definitely Kool G Rap.

Bone Thugs N Harmony

Big (Only the stuff he did before he passed)

Big Pun

Kanye
OutKast (including Big Boi’s 2 LP’s)
Kid Cudi (Get rid of WZRD if u want)
Drake (So Far Gone, Thank Me Later, Take Care)
maybe even DMX

Jay-Z (maybe take out BP2?)

AZ:

Doe or Die (1995)
Pieces of a Man (1998)
9 Lives (2001)
Aziatic (2002)
A.W.O.L. (2005)
The Format (2006)
Undeniable (2008)
Legendary (2009)

I had no idea AZ released so much stuff.

I love Doe or Die, does anything else match up?

Cunninlynguists
Kanye West
Macklemore
Kendrick Lamar

Especially CunninLynguists and Kanye has a really great discography, no misses (we’re only counting Kanye’s solo stuff here)

agree with everyone who says kanye west but sometimes its because of the sounds and beats over the actual rapping itself

@Jeto

Album that I have studied.

Pieces of a Man is nice stuff. Great lyrics. 9 Lives is solid with a few real bangers and all good lyrics. Aziatic is close to Hip-Hop classic.

The other are albums that I haven’t studied but that is only because I am getting older and studying a wider range of music. Also as a Christian I took a break from music about killing, drug, etc.

With that said, The Format had some nice heat there and a few head bangers. Plus a burial of 50 Cent with “Crown Royal”. The rest I have heard a few song more or less. He stays in his lane cranking out the bars.

If you have to cop one of his album after Doe or Die it is Aziatic…no question.

Kanye West
Lowkey
Rakim
Big L
Dr. Dre
The Last Emperor
MF DOOM

@Park

on it, thanks

Anytime.

Not sure if these have been said yet, but Beastie Boys and Wu-Tang Clan.

tupac
Nas
jay-z
joe budden
ice cube

even if they have weak albums…these guys weaker albums are still better than most of your favorite rappers best albums

You guys, saying “if you just ignore” kind of defeats the purpose of this, so Nas and T.I. are out, yo.

Jay-Z is also out because Kingdom Come was horrid.

Nothing in Bronson’s catalogue is weak
No Atmosphere is weak

The fact that I ain’t seen Mac Dre on here is just a tragedy yo…the man has something like 16 solo albums, hella compilations under his name full of good Bay Area muhfuckas, and probably another 10 collaboration albums, and none of it is weak. Stop sleepin'

Jonwayne has yet make anything even close to wack IMHO.

GHOSTFACE.
OUTKAST.
THE ALBUMS BIGGIE MADE BEFORE HE DIED.

Pac
Dre & Biggie even though their small discographies
