Death was the best thing to happen to Pac/Biggie. Now they can be idolized instead of getting flabby and sick on some Jay-Z shit. "He had a spark when he started..."

Cool list
Yeah I almost didn't bless that post w/ a future gif for that dustiness.

Yo if I'm being honest though, I'm about to knock off one of these traditional top 10 albums for Covert Coup
I'd put cigarette boats over covert coup just slightly. The focus of it makes up for its length

ATCQ - Low End Theory
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele
Wu-Tang - 36 Chambers
ATCQ - Midnight Marauders
Madvillian - Madvilliany
Kanye - Late Registration
Isaiah Rashad - Cilvia Demo
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Mecca and the Soul Brother

Future - DS2
Future - 56 Nights
Future - Beast Mode
Future - Monster
Future - What A Time To Be Alive
Future - Astronaut Status
Future - Streetz Calling
Future - Pluto

Just off the top of my head though. Need more time for a definitive list.

This is prime Future, can't get this on his latest 5 peat
Second time this is mentioned. I might give it a try. The only Cudi album I listened to was the first one. Was the soundtrack of my final school trip after high school. His recent stuff was wack from what I heard.

I love Cigarette Boats, it's just hard for me to put a 5 track, 15 minute EP in my all time list. GOAT if it was 10 tracks of that quality though.

...well, shit
he's had some great albums, though. better alive & at that than not right?
wait, ya'll are serious tho
even as a native tongue head i didn't fully appreciate de la for years, and that's just one i didn't spend much time with...might revisit, despite t he streets disciple nod
how exactly? what we do have from dude (non-posthumous releases) bang to this very day. granted, he prolly would've teamed up with a quarter of the wack MC's busta has over time & i'd rather he'dve slid back than either try to match trends (crunk, ringtone, trap etc) if they didn't fit his style but past the obligatory roast-a-sacred-cow shit outchea i don't know where this comes from.
dude's flow/charisma/storytelling alone would've carried him past jay's current struggle-rap era, long as he had something to say and didn't limit his production. granted idve hoped he woudl've mostly retired by now but still
there it is again
me too - great album for sure, but it feels like a weird pick to see in so many top 10's here
then again some are calling future's work a 5-peat so stranger things have happened
im okay with this, and so is CRS
this one literally crossed my mind, yeah
wanted to give this and return of the boom bap nods at least

Wow Allure a dude jeez shit makes you reflect on your life in retrospect. One of my favorite Jay Z songs TBH.
Much appreciated brehs
& PBY, if Isaiah blows up and keeps his consistency your posts in this thread will be considered sacrilege. Repent & Relisten
MOTM II is very polarising to be honest. It has some outright awful and embarrassing songs, but it also has most of his greatest work imo. He also has a couple songs I listen to from his post MOTM catalogue (The Dream Time Machine, The Resurrection of Scott Mescudi, To Bad I Have To Destroy You Now)

i loved watching Chapelle talk about being there for the debut with common & mos too, must've been awkward
I guess I'll backpedal and say Moment of Clarity is fine.
The beat tho
I'll accept Change Clothes hate lightly (a requiem for the jersey era whew)
but i'll not accept a whit of Allure hate

Change Clothes and Allure are trash breh, admit it. Pharrell getting two placements on an album that literally could have had any producer on it...smh.
Both those tracks are so corny, especially Allure.
Id put Russian Roulette over CC, but its close.
Nope.
from what i remember the best track was the dilla produced one that i cant barely recall and i refer to the first three albums as "flowery", because i think one of the albums had a flower or something like that on the cover, my deep rap thoughts dont come cheap though, so this ones free.

Change Clothes is that shit he's sprinklin to keep the registers ringing
it's so obligatory and non-offensive (now that we're a decade + past hearing it on 3 stations) i can't see raising it as a point of contention
cod hand wit is dead

Allure sounds like a nursery rhyme played on a Fisher Price keyboard, with some weird ass bomb sounds thrown in.
Change Clothes...scust. At least tell me yall aren't cosigning the idea that the song changed fashion trends...

Allure and Change Clothes are pretty shit man. I never make my case for the black album while acknowledging them joints.

I'm about to put that one in as well. It has turned into one of my favorite listening experiences in hip-hop. Amazing samples and sequencing.
OK fine, what's the point of making new top 10 lists every few years if not to be as in the moment as possible. More changes for future reference.
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda
The Alchemist - Russian Roulette
Cunninlynguists - Oneirology
Ice Cube - Death Certificate
Method Man & Redman - Blackout!
Redman - Muddy Waters
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele
Currensy - Covert Coup
Can't wait to come back to this in a few

Oh and the only version of Allure that matters is the Kno remix from The White Albulum. Turns it from one of the worst tracks on The Black Album to one of my favorite Jay-Z tracks.
