I'm Not a Half-Stepper: Favorite Hip Hop Albums
by 
babyBlueSedan 
Alternative, too-long title: "I saw a chart from babyBlueSedan, opened it, read it, it said he was a sucker!"
Not meant to be a definitive hip hop list, just a list of my favorites. Like with other genres I have my favorite artists so there will be some repeats.
Also, I excluded R&B albums that have hip hop influence or rapping. Maybe they'll be on a different chart in the future.

From babyBlueSedan 01/01/2020 23:57 in New Year's Music Resolutions
babyBlueSedan 01/01/2020 23:57 in New Year's Music Resolutions“My goals for this year: 1. Write more reviews on RYM. I enjoy writing reviews and chart descriptions for albums but a lot of times they never make it out of my head. I don't want to assign a number but I want to do at least a few every month. I wrote 23 reviews this year, including at least one…”

babyBlueSedan 03/30/2019 14:08 in Hip-Hop“Well, this is embarrassing, because my top three are the same as BEA's top three, just in a different order. I think one thing that drives this list is that the best rappers don't always create the best albums. One of your big gripes with this list seems to be Kanye, as he doesn't show up anywhere…”

babyBlueSedan 02/23/2019 23:03 in Chart talk“I've been tweaking this on and off for a couple months but today I figured I might as well publish it since I'll probably be tweaking it forever. These are my favorite hip hop albums; the top 10 are a little boring but it gets more interesting after that. Recommendations are very welcome.”

It's understandable, but whaaaaat..the skits are hilarious, and definitely more bearable than alot of other rap-records.

I would put Stankonia on par with a lot of the albums at the bottom of this list, but while it has some of my favorite Outkast songs it's just too long for its own good. Not even Ms Jackson and BOB can make up for some of those skits.

Awesome stuff here, but looking at your Top 100 Greatest Albums chart, it's surprising that Stankonia isn't even on here. Still though, props for including Denzel and Quik :)
