Hip-Hop/Rap/R&B
by RoundTheBend

Not complete. Rating albums as such, not if singles are good.

For hip-hop/rap I find myself liking singles for a majority of artists, but these albums so far are solid (above a 75 rating).

Please mock me for my ignorance. Just really starting out with actually giving this genre more respect.

I like it so far. I might have to make one of these as well. You have to check out MF Doom if you haven't, especially the Madvillainy record.

Some recommended albums to start with that you haven't rated:

A Tribe Called Quest: Midnight Marauders, The Low End Theory, People's Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm
Digable Planets: Blowout Commb, Reachin' (A New Refutation Of Time And Space)
Mos Def: Black On Both Sides, The Ecstatic
DOOM: Operation Doomsday, Mm.. Food, Madvillainy
The Roots: Undun, How I Got Over, Game Theory
J Dilla: Donuts [an instrumental album]
GZA: Liquid Swords

Where to go next would depend on which of these you like.

Also I see you've already rated a bunch of good hip-hop albums highly that aren't on this chart yet for one reason or another.
