Great hip hop trio. I heard that they had a comeback a couple of years ago.

Yeah I love em. That debut, 19Naughty3, Poverty's Paradise, all really great hip hop albums. Treach has one of the sickest flows in all of hip hop. Imo, big time underrated.

You mean Icons? Um it was ok, not great, but not bad either.

 

That flow tho....

Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Stankonia - Outcast

Judgment Night soundtrack, ft rock and rap groups doing one-offs together.

I know I listen to and loved a lot of Wu Tang growing up, but wasn't the one putting the records on.  And the solo and duo albums.  Loved that stuff.  Same with Notorious B.I.G., Snoop and Dre

Anything 2Pac

If I a absolutely had to....

Me Against the World

Makaveli 

All Eyez on Me

Strictly 4 My

2Pacalypse Now

Thug Life

That ain't right though. It's impossible to rank them. That's stupid to have an album like Strictly4MN that low.

A while back, i forget when, might've been a couple of years I'm sitting in my car listening to The Last Poets, old old old old old hip hop right, like the first hip hop, it don't even sound like rap, it sounds more like a panther lecture over drums...anyway the song is N!ggers Are Scared of Revolution.  So I'm sitting in my car and I put this album on...and it begins with this chant of N!ggers N!ggers N!ggers N!ggers N!ggers N!ggers N!ggers in the back ground while this guy starts off with this speech like N!ggers are scared of revolution...but n!ggers shouldn't be scared of revolution.  Anyway I got this on in my car and right at that point 5 massive black geezers walk by...and there's little asian me sitting in a car with the stereo goin' 'n!ggers n!ggers n!ggers n!ggers' :lol:  They stopped and looked back...i drove off :lol:  If I'd've sat there and they'd've been patient for a while they would've come to realise that the song is a treatise on social change and civil rights...but i weren't about to hang around to find out :lol:

2Pacolypse Now is my favourite album. Young Black Male, Soulja's Story, I don't Give a Fuck, Something Wicked, Brenda's Got a Baby, Part Time Mutha are some of his very best songs. And it was also my first album from him.

Oh it's an absolutely wonderful album. I love it. When I rank it that low, that has nothing to do with quality. It's more of a testament to how great his discography is, and my overall love of the guy.

Crazy thing about that album is Pac was like 20. That's crazy. Listen to Brenda's Got a Baby or Trapped. Trapped in particular, to make that song at age 20, without losing focus and falling in the cliche trap of making Fuck tha Police part 2, or without coming across as a Public Enemy version 2, to be able to make that song and keep it different from those and keep his own message, to be smart enough to do that at 20, that's special.

Ice Cube has a great discography.

Straight Outta Compton

Amerikkka's Most Wanted

Death Certificate

The Predator

Lethal Injection

Bow Down

All of those rank from solid to classic.

Even War and Peace wasn't  really bad, just not on the same level, still good.

Vol 1

 

Vol 2

Cube belongs in anybodys best of all time MC list, those early solo albums, at least the first 3 or 4 were stone cold classics.
