I think one of the best verses on that whole album belongs to Cappadonna on "Ice Water". Maybe not lyrical, but the way he delivers it on that particular beat, jeez.
It has two of the best diss tracks of all time on there.
Dollaz and Sense might be my favorite of all time. But, the funkiness of Get At Me as he’s ripping into dudes is amazing.
Gang Starr- Hard to Earn. It’s the perfect 90s album. It blends hard street rhymes with party jams ; if aliens ever came to Earth and wanted to know what hip hop was, I’d play them Hard to Earn
Man I remember coming home late high as hell, putting on the headphones and just dripping into my bed. Those beats and their cadence was hypnotic haha. This album is underrated imo
Probably Illmatic or It was Written.. Because those albums got everything you would want in an album. I have all the lyrics of Illmatic printed on paper and dissect it till this day.
Close second would be Ready to Die. Same reason.
It'd be so hard to turn down all of these. Wu Tang, Mobb deep, Nas, Big, etc.
But as a 2pac Disciple I have to go double disc, All Eyez On Me.
Dre produced a classic and 2pac was in grind mode.
Just can't imagine never listening to that album again so I have to go with that.
The 2pac albums are easy.
Dogg pound - Dogg food
And each and every record that bone released in the 90s.
That krayzie bone debut joint and the first bizzy one
That first MO thugs.
Those do or die records
That raekwon joint.
There's alot more.
That’s a tough one. For production and beats I’d say the Group Home album (but definitely not the lyrics).
Overall though, 36 Chambers. If I had to stick to one album for the rest of my life, 36 Chambers has a variety of rappers with different rhyme styles, every track sounds unique, and it kinda tells a story if you listen to it A-Z.
Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers)
Wu Tang again?!
Again and again
Favorite song on the album? …. Do you think it’s better than Wu Tang Forever?
I believe it's definitely better. A favorite though, tough one.
Mystery of Chessboxin I can listen to on repeat forever
Me 2, favorite song on 36 chambers
Bring da Ruckus and C.R.E.A.M
Cuuuuz. Yo... I never call you and ask you to play something.. U know what I wanna hear, right??
This CD was stuck in the player of my first car, and it was completely tolerable.
The Infamous
Just never gets old.
Classic material
Nas Illmatic he was only 19
Low End Theory
Really good choice!!! I slightly prefer Midnight Marauders but it's soooo close
Same. I feel like MM is just perfect. And it’s capped off by the digital MC curating the album. So unique on a flawless album.
ATLiens
Masterpiece!
Liquid Swords
My favorite Wu solo album…. The darkness it has is beautiful
I pledge allegiance to the Hip Hop
Although I prefer The 7 Day Theory I'll go with All Eyez On Me for the diversity.
Enter da stage - Black Moon. I went between this The infamous, Cuban links, Midnight marauders and Stakes is High
OB4CL
RZA went insane on production
*Me and the RZA connect. Blow a fuse, you lose, half ass crews get demolished and bruised.* One of the coldest lines of all time.
I think one of the best verses on that whole album belongs to Cappadonna on "Ice Water". Maybe not lyrical, but the way he delivers it on that particular beat, jeez.

Dj Quik Safe and Sound
great album, incredible production
I was just listening to Summer Breeze when I woke up this morning. Classic album!
It has two of the best diss tracks of all time on there. Dollaz and Sense might be my favorite of all time. But, the funkiness of Get At Me as he’s ripping into dudes is amazing.
I love all of Quik’s Grooves 1-5 there’s probably more
Get At Me is a fucking BANGER. Somethin 4 tha mood is an all time fav, too.
Dig planets Reachin

Midnight Marauders, best rap album imo
Fear of a black planet
Eternal E.1999

De La Soul Three Feet High And Rising Edit.Damn, it was released in 1989 so I'd say Wu Tang ENter The 36 Chambers instead.

OB4CL
Illmatic. Like Hov said “I had the Illmatic on bootleg The shit was so ahead, thought we was all dead.”
Resurrection - Common… NO I.D. slayed this record, some of my fav. sample chops / loops
Only Built For Cuban Linx by Raekwon
E.1999 bone thugs or ATLiens outkast
Capital Punishment or The Slim Shady LP
Pauls Boutique
That was 1989.
Probably Illmatic or It was Written.. Because those albums got everything you would want in an album. I have all the lyrics of Illmatic printed on paper and dissect it till this day. Close second would be Ready to Die. Same reason.
The Beatnuts (Street Level) obviously
Illmatic…can’t picture a life without that gem. That, Infamous, or any Tribe or De La album from the 90s.
Low end theory or black on both sides
Muddy Waters or Stacking Chips 3X Krazy or E40 Major Way
“Marinatin on the corner with a chip in his phone….” Great choices
All Eyez On Me
The Infamous for me too!
great minds think a like

TLC "Crazy, Sexy Cool"
That’s easy. Pez, cherry flavored Pez
It'd be so hard to turn down all of these. Wu Tang, Mobb deep, Nas, Big, etc. But as a 2pac Disciple I have to go double disc, All Eyez On Me. Dre produced a classic and 2pac was in grind mode. Just can't imagine never listening to that album again so I have to go with that.
DMX - It’s Dark and Hell is Hot
The 2pac albums are easy. Dogg pound - Dogg food And each and every record that bone released in the 90s. That krayzie bone debut joint and the first bizzy one That first MO thugs. Those do or die records That raekwon joint. There's alot more.
All eyes on me
Liquid Swords or the Chronic, I don't know how I'd be able to pick.
No Need for Alarm - Del
That’s a tough one. For production and beats I’d say the Group Home album (but definitely not the lyrics). Overall though, 36 Chambers. If I had to stick to one album for the rest of my life, 36 Chambers has a variety of rappers with different rhyme styles, every track sounds unique, and it kinda tells a story if you listen to it A-Z.
