best Floyd album to me, is Meddle, also like Piper, and Dark Side (duh)

I never got into Raider Klan. I just checked out a couple tracks from SpaceGhostPurp and I'm not feeling the shit tbh. But I've seen posts from HRD about Ethelwulf and Denzel, I'll have to check them out.
If any of you guys mess with the group remotely, feel free to throw out random tracks from their members that you like. I'll put together a playlist and give BRK a try.

Right, but his post would read less ridiculously if he was talking about Venomous. I don't think I even need to discuss Vaudeville in a GAF-HOP thread.

Hadn't heard Damage yet but Stray Bullet and When The Gun Draws were both amazing tracks.

The physical form of blasphemy
Nah I never listened to Venemous. The only song I fucked with on Vaudeville was Let Me Watch.

also mention tony starks somehow
like "starks in the basement..."
or "starks in the lab..."
Because rock isn't as hung up on 'old school vs. new school' like rap is.
If folks come with a top 10 list going something like:
1. KRS-ONE
2. Rakim
3. Melle Mel
4. Q-Tip
5. Kool Keith
etc etc
they would be told to go back to the old folks home. Fuck, even Dr. Dre said rap is a young man's game in an interview.
Man I remember complaining about Ghost just being on some drunk rambling insanity shit years ago and gafhop claiming I just didn't understand his lyrics. The motherfucking is like aesop on cocaine half the time, just pure foolishness. It's entertaining no doubt, but gets a bit tiresome after the 5000th tony starks reference.
thats not really true, most people in this topic cited older rap artists like G Rap and Rakim (no surprise, their music endured better than anyone else IMO) and nobody gave a shit. Plenty of people listed newer guys from the naughties as well.
HiiLife just listen to N64 and then go back and listen to Ethelwulf, and if you're hungry for more GrandMilly's BVNDVNVZ II is great as well. And I'm the only one that liked that it, but I still am enjoying Key Nyata's SHadowed Diamond Project.
Here are two of my favorite Ethelwulf tracks:

Yeah to me the older rappers sit up on the list higher because they've had longer to prove themselves and also their music has had decades in some cases to show it's worth. A rapper who still sounds like he could hang with or even outrap dudes today is going to find himself highly regarded. Ice Cube is high on my GOAT list because of the late 80's to early 90's when in my opinion he was out-rapping every person on the planet. And if I go back and listen to Death Certificate now, he still sounds like he is running circles around modern day rappers.
Ghost is that coked up guy in the back of the bar who talks a mile a minute about fucking nothing at all, yet you still listen because he is just dropping it all in such an entertaining way.
Going back through, the last couple of pages, sure there are some mentions of G Rap and Rakim (like, 1 or 2), but the majority of people's list are made up of what is considered 3rd generation rappers like Nas, Biggie, etc etc. that came out in the mid 90s. (technically speaking, Run-DMC were the beginning of the New School).
Fuck, there's like 2 pages of discussion over whether or not DOOM has 4 classic albums, when the only answer is Mr. Hood. ;p
Not saying I disagree with a lot of folks choices, there are lots of great lists in this thread, what just answering the guy's question about why there seems to be more of a lack of consensus in rap versus rock.
In regards to Ghostface, best imitation - http://youtu.be/Ig9Audtm9VI
...When listening to free-form Ghostface tracks it's integral to think of his verses as fields rather than particles

Questlove talks about the career of The Roots and the Neo-Soul movement with David Byrne (from Talking Heads) who talks about New Wave. Very interesting. Quest drops some real knowledge about hip-hop in general.

Oh and in no order.
Personal favorites for one reason or another:
Ice Cube
Scarface
Nas
Biggie
Pac
King T
Slug
B-Real
Q-Tip
and...hmmm Common? Or maybe Xzibit.
If this was an objective list only, it would look pretty different. Rakim, Kool G, Kane, Eminem would all be on there.
And seriously, get that Krizz Kaliko album "Son of Sam". Its really fucking good and enjoyable. One of the most accessible, easy to get into, solid albums of the year. I'd put it my top ten easily. From start to finish it is a great listen.

Biggie would never exist without him. BIG jacked his style straight up from Tee and acknowledged doing so.
agree, revisited Mm Food and DOOM's back catalog in general, heavy this year, so many great tracks and timeless beats on Mm Food.
The skits are perfect, and they add to the theme of the album. Whenever DOOM raps on the album they're strong verses, he knew what he was doing. Instead of maybe sprinkling a few above average verses on all of the tracks, he came his hardest on about 50% of them. Gumbo is a really good skit.
