Rappers with best catalouges in Hip Hop ever. Classic albums

B.o.B: B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray

haha, not even close. B.o.B has at least 3 mixtapes better than that (No Genre, Bob Vs Bobby Ray, Cloud 9). I feel like he is an extremely talented artist but he tries too hard to capture a mainstream audience (like not including Play the Guitar on Strange Clouds) and his projects are a bit rushed and unfocused. I would love to see him really spend some time crafting a classic.

Kendrick Lamar: Section.80
Tech N9ne: Anghellic, K.O.D.

Classic? What's that?

Just a little addition to this list, apart from the obvious one's that has been posted here. I FUCKING LOVE THESE.


Atmosphere - When Life Gives you Lemons , You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, God Loves Ugly,
Eyedea and Abilities - By The Throat, First Born

How could I forget this gem

4 fantastic discographies.
Favorite from each?

I was going to post them in order but realised they constantly alternate.

If I had to.. SSLP & MMLP, State Of Lunacy, Late Registration, When Life Gives You Lemons.
Yourself?
(literally feel uncomfortable if MMLP or SSLP isn't up there so I couldn't choose)

^You're like a parody of a generic hip-hop fan.

Tupac really isn't that good. I'd wager most of his fans are white people who want to be kewl and fit in, so they put him on a pedestal. I was one of them.

I agree with this. I also find it with people that go on about Illmatic that can't really justify themselves. I've come across heaps of pretentious Hip Hop fans in real life over the years. For some reason 'kewl white guys' have this problem with Eminem being the best.

"Nah come on bro, Eminem's corny."

I remember listening to The Eminem Show in 2002 and a few dickheads at my school saying "Nah come on bro, Eminem's corny. You should listen to Tupac and Canibus." Then I listened to "Ambitionz As A Ridah," trying desperately to love it. My foolish, impressionable mind fell for all the hype at first. "GOAT rapper! He's such a poet! Wayyyy better than Eminem!! So metaphorical and shit."

Not to say he wasn't poetic at times...but he's no way near being the greatest.

I agree to an extent. I've always loved Pac's music, but I don't do it to fit in. In fact, most people I know hold Eminem higher than him. And Biggie as well. I don't love everything he's done, but he's still one of my favorite rappers.

If this was a only a couple months ago, I might have immediately said TES, but SSLP and MMLP have impressed me greatly now that I notice more things that I hadn't picked up on prior. If I had to choose, I'd say MMLP on the simple fact that I have more personal favorites off that album.

Then I'd say probably all of them except Graduation. I like the amount of features on those because sometimes Kanye could be a bit much if it just him. Then again, I did choose one for Eminem
So probably Late Registration.

When Life Gives You Lemons is the only album I've heard from Atmosphere other than The Family Sign. I thought WLGYL was much better so that's what I'll go with.

I actually heard Solitary Confinement before State of Lunacy, but I'd choose the latter because of the features. (since RA is so consistent between them)

My 2 cents- I throughly enjoy Graduation more than any Kanye album. Followed closely by MBDTF. I've found that people who appreciate "polished" or, dare i say it, commercial rap gravitate towards Graduation and TES while "traditional" hip-hop heads fall into the Late Registration/ MMLP camp.

You know, i really cant judge Tech N9ne's music. To me, he is in the "cant do wrong" category where i find something i love in everything he does. For example, the last collabo tape had "Gods" which i STILL cant stop playing and even Klusterfuk to me is more enjoyable than the majority of classics mentioned here.

This guy is definitely aftermathers. He types the same way.
