Top 10 Indie Hip-Hop albums of all time...ALL TIME

I dont get cannibal ox's hype. Those beats are grating to me

[Norway kills]

All I know is that Hopsin deserves a spot on that list.

[momentsgolden]

Fair point. I heard people continuosly praise the production so i only got the instrumental version and it was absolutely unlistenable.

That said these two deserve a mention

Section 80- he was independant when he released this one. People tend to forget that. Brilliant work AND it changed the game.

K.O.D- the number one independant artist in the world's best album. Shuld get in there somewhere. Little features, dark, scary, amazing.

The Rising Tied- dont know where it was released and it definetly has the commercial/ major label sound but Styles of Beyond were more than amazing on the project. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Blue Sky Black Death- Late night Cinema
Emancipator- Soon it will be cold enough are 2 instrumental albums that 1 adore. Very little impact on the underground/ indie market but genius in my book.


I like Hopsin and Yelawolf as much as the next guy but wont start naming those lol

No. The independent artists today can't hold a candle to the underground hip-hop boom of the early to mid 2000's.

Oh. You must excuse my ignorance then, I wasn't alive at the time of this undoubtedly golden age of independent hip-hop music.

Seriously though, Hopsin rocks.

I trust Hesky's taste in hip hop the most.

Keep recommending them new rappers
