Should be "Nav or Nas?".


I'll try make a Top 10, but I don't have the time to add descriptions. All-time Top 10, right? Or Top 10 of recent shit I think folks should check out?
Make it a top 10 projects of all time.

It's high time the GAF Hall of Fame got an update.

Damn, this is hard... I'm seriously struggling to put something together.

  • Slum Village - Fantastic Vol. 2
  • OutKast - Stankonia
  • Common - Be
  • Jay-Z - The Black Album
  • The Roots - Do You Want More?!!!??!
  • Nas - Illmatic
  • Madvillain - Madvillainy
  • Little Brother - The Minstrel Show
  • Kanye West - Late Registration
  • Lupe Fiasco - Food & Liquor

Just remembered that we kinda did this already in the 2015 thread, but I changed it a bit from then. And lol@the page before with RP912's classic No Limit discography reviews, and I still remember the dream I had of Des.
 
RIP RP912, you actually tried to provide substance to this thread.

Anyway, rapid-fire impressions. That Earthgang EP, RAGS, is nice. I really enjoy "Red Light" off that, and I'm liking the way they're using the EP to have short sustained bursts of quality. The Pollari project on the other hand needs to be an EP. I really liked "Diamonds", "Pilot", and the outro of "Very Far", the rest were are all pretty meh. Cutting it down and really focusing on a couple of tracks would have done wonders for the project.

Went in blind to the Corbin album y'all were talking about.

After two listens I am left wondering what mastery is permeating through my speakers. This is incredible.

Corbin's album is out now.

Also, as a reminder, I'd like if people could list 10 hip-hop albums they think everyone should hear. The deeper the cuts, the better, and please post from every facet of hip-hop. I'd like to include in the O.P. as a handy guide if people want to find new things in rap.

Also, I'm kinda in another country right now, so don't be shocked if the new OT does go up at some odd hour at night or if there's a little delay between page 200 and the new OT going up.

I need a couple minutes to make a list, but I'll try to post one in the coming days.

Anyone have any questions/alterations they want to add to the Initiation Qs?
What's your favorite album that was released before you were born? I'd go with Midnight Marauders.

If we're not gonna go with "I don't really care if /mu/ cry," I say we dedicate the next OT title to our fallen sisters in Pop-GAF.
