That hip hop thread...

[Tinfoil]

I thought this music video significant because it's virtually the entire history of Korean Hip Hop in one Cypher.

Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers just made me want to listen to OutKast’s Aquemini and ATLiens. I could only listen to four songs at best on that album; the latter choices I could listen to every day.

Rolling Stone magazine recently named their list of the 200 greatest hip hop albums of all time, and as expected, it was not too accurate.

Here’s just the top 20 for those that don’t want to look at the attached link:

1. The Notorious B.I.G. – Ready to Die
2. Outkast – Stankonia
3. Jay-Z – The Blueprint
4. Public Enemy – It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
5. Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly
6. Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
7. Missy Elliott – Miss E… So Addictive
8. Wu-Tang Clan – Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
9. A Tribe Called Quest – The Low End Theory
10. Lauryn Hill – The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
11. Drake – Take Care
12. Clipse – Lord Willin
13. Dr. Dre – 2001
14. Ghostface Killah – Supreme Clientele
15. Eric B. and Rakim – Paid in Full
16. Cardi B – Invasion of Privacy
17. Kanye West – Yeezus
18. Madvillain – Madvillainy
19. Lil Kim – Hard Core
20. Future – DS2

Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Future are the four rappers from the 2010’s that apparently are deserved to be mentioned along the rappers that made classic rap albums that span from the 80’s to the 90’s.

I cannot believe they didn't mention my main man, William Shatner. The originator of rap.

Him and Sneed should have been on that list, too. Biggie used to eat there with Chuck a lot.

To me, it's crazy that Illmatic is not in the top 20. Also, they said Stank was Outkast's best album.

, it was not too accurate.

As we dug and listened, we found ourselves a little less swayed by “golden age” mystique than we might’ve been had we done this list 10 or 15 years ago. One of the incredible things about hip-hop is that it evolves and expands faster than any other genre in music history. To a fan coming up in the era of Cardi or Tyler or Polo G or Playboi Carti, the golden age is now.

right.
Because fuck Kris,Run,Chuck,Herc,Flash,Rakim right?
That auto tune mumble crap is a golden age of shit.
What brain damaged cunt wrote this list?? 2001 instead of The Chronic??
Fagye West twice?? Big over Nation of Millions??

A few years ago a friend of mine ….

3 day since it came out, is that too late to the party on the Drake thing? The guy has all the means and opportunity to do anything on a house album but he lacked the MOTIVE. The album's first half sounds like sloppy drunk dialing so I wasn't surprised to find out he phoned it in in two weeks. There's 3 or 4 songs on there worth anything (A Keeper, Massive, Sticky, Jimmy Cooks imo) and 2 of them are the radio ready hits/streambait songs, Sticky and the 21 Savage feature, Jimmy Cooks. Its not a good sign when the best stuff doesn't feel like the rest of the album

There's no denying this will move units and get streamed 87 trillion times or whatever, but damn, man, have some pride! Drake has been acting like he's too big to fail on studio albums since Views in 2016. Views, Scorpion, Certified Lover Boy into Honestly, Nevermind is honestly such a mediocre as fuck run.

Not gonna lie, this is pretty decent. It's actually Eminem's best single in a long time. How is this even possible?
