Well, as I'm just getting into rap I would be interested in hearing some recommendations. My fav. album so far I guess is Illmatic, which I imagine is a relatively straight-forward and mainstream work. I'd love to hear more albums like that, with good introspective/dynamic lyrics and great multi-layered beats. I'm not looking for anything too raw, I'd actually like to hear something really well produced, but still interesting. The other rappers I like are along the lines of Eminmem & Kanye West...hehe yeah. I know nothing. Probably a big part of why I misunderstood this thread to begin with.

Cypress Hill are a great rap group! Their debut is one of their best too Smile

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest is often overlooked in favor of their other albums. I think Q-Tip comes across outstanding on that record. Definitely worth a listen!

Naples, this is a thread where we are discussing the skill and talent of rappers, not just listing hip-hop albums. Would you like to name some of your favorite rappers and tell us what you like about them?

I was responding to a request from Elston. Please shut up! Go police the latrines. You are not the god you think you are.

Explain your choices, because I don't think several of them fit what Elston is looking for.

Considering that it is the same list that you copied and pasted from the top rap albums thread, I doubt you put any thought into your recommendations. It's your stock rap list that I've seen several times.

But prove me wrong and explain your recommendations.

I don't need to explain anything to you. The list was augmented from the prior list. Let Elston decide by listening or sampling them, we don't need you to act as a filter or give your imprimatur. Stifle yourself JJ.
