This album helped spring Hip-Hop into full force.Ī somewhat controversial point in time within the Hip-Hop community but this album was amazing and definitely one of the bests of All-Time. The beginning of the Golden Age and right in the middle of it. College Dropout is still his best work, even after Graduation, MBDTF and Watch The Throne. Kanye has been the media mogul of the decade and continuously drops album after album that moves records, produces singles and is one for the ages. This album was classic, lyrically inclined and Hip-Hop to the heart. Midnight Marauders brought something different to the Hip-Hop world with the many timeless records.Ĭommon’s best work ever in my opinion. Along with her ability to flow and sing, no extras were needed to make this complete.ġ1.) A Tribe Called Quest-Midnight MaraudersĪTCQ was classic and still is with their style, flow and creativity. Her vocal ability was magical and this album proved it. Lauryn Hill left the game WAAYY too early. It was original, especially given the music stylings of Wyclef and the absolutely mesmerizing voice of Lauryn Hill.ġ2.) Lauryn Hill-The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill There’s absolutely nothing to say about this album. Slim Shady attacked every track on this disc with ferocity and cemented himself as one of the greatest selling Hip-Hop artists ever. Mos Def proved why he’s up there on the list of Hip-Hop greats whenever the conversation is brought up in any circle and rightfully so. The duo from ATL repped the south hard with this album with one of a kind creativty and lyricism matched by none. This album was the first CD I ever owned and I still keep a copy today. The perfect example of what people call “conscious Rap” and what music fiends call “Real Hip-Hop.” This album fed the masses everything they could ask for and still brings that sensation that hope may still be alive. The Roots almost got dropped from their label before this album dropped because they weren’t “mainstream.” They proved to themselves and to the entire music industry that they could be an old-school Hip-Hop band and still get it done with record sales AND not “selling out” to the masses.ġ7.) Black Star (Talib Kweli and Mos Def) It also helps that Raphael Saadiq executively produced this album. This album was creative, one of a kind and truly brought a beautiful sound to the world of R&B. She’s definitely in the same league as Janis Joplin. This album was amazing and by far 50’s best work to date.
G-Unit was an absolute powerhouse at the time. I still remember the day 50 dropped this album. Please keep in mind, this is a list of MY favorites.
My definition of an All-Time Great Album is one that you can listen to cover to cover without gripe or concern, not skipping a track on the way to the back cover. So I finally buckled down and widdled through my list and came up with a Top 20 List of My Favorite Albums Of All-Time.
