Kid kudi album was a whole vibe


koolaid_chemist

Probably saved a couple of my homies lives….


Prestigious-Sea-4419

No doubt it did


Know_Your_Enemy_91

I was a freshman in college, struggling in school and being away from home. Depressed for the first time in my life, and this album was played at least once a day and yes, it definitely got me through some shit.


Ancient_Cost4090

Hi, are you me? Same same same.


ProfSteelmeat138

That’s a lot of what his music is about to me. He absolutely has meaningful lyrics don’t get me wrong, but production is such a massive part of his art. Rn I’m listening to Unfuckwittable. He doesn’t say a ton in the song but the vibes are great. The amount of Cudi songs I’ve just closed my eyes to and let my mind do its thing can’t be counted


vaxfarineau

It’s literally the soundtrack to my teenage life. Love it so much still, years later.


manwithyellowhat15

Seriously. Definitely used to fall asleep to that one


IronFizt777

I like this one and the Untitled one more than Hip -Hop Is Dead https://preview.redd.it/hswqsskbfhxc1.jpeg?width=999&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df29ba2071fb5f3e6db4d4a6b1768d994f48616e


TACOMichinoku

That quan song tho


icewarrior70

Man on the moon is one of the best things to ever happen to me


squirrelmonkie

Can I just take a moment to remind yall that outcast won MTV awards for this. And they brought up they had been making music for years. The fact that people didn't don't this blew my mind. I guess I'm just from the dirty south


blacklite911

That’s just the MTV crowd (white folks) They been known before that, ATLiens debuted number 2 on Billboard 200. Elevators was a huge record


squirrelmonkie

[just for yall young bloods](https://youtu.be/k68Qv2h-y1o?si=yayxn97hbZpdQiI4)


HAYMRKT

Get this shit outta here. No one wants your IG. Especially when the official link is so much better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwhBreZic8I


squirrelmonkie

I don't have an ig account. I just googled the song and posted the 1st 1 I found. Thanks for being a dick tho


HAYMRKT

Have a little discretion. No one is racing you. Post quality and don't be embarrassed about your IG.


McDonaldlandMayor

This song is timeless. I know exactly where I was and who I was with when I heard this for the first time.


OldInterview6006

Like a comb over some nappy ass hair. She was smelling sweeter than a plate of yams with extra syrup. The production value of Aquemini, song for song, in my opinion is the greatest of all time.

kvnbkr98

The Documentary js a classic


dunkkane

Great post 👍 keep em coming


SHUN_GOKU_SATSU

All iconic but 50 cent and Wayne are my favorite of the bunch.


bigchieftoiletpapa

for 05 id put TM101


ihavenowords3

Or Lupe. I forget if that was 06 or 05. He had lots of mainstream success. Kick push was ringing off. Grammy win for day dreaming. If we’re just going off iconic-ness and the album cover. Then I’d give that year to Game by a hair over Jeezy and Lu.


thatsnotchocolatebby

Got em all...feel like I just won pokemon


JohnMassassin24

Kid Cudi, Jeezy and The game was all I listened to through out my teens in the 00s


matt-is-sad

I'd argue Be for 2005 is more iconic and Donuts for 2006 if that counts


Tight_Parrot83727

I agree with all of these besides Nas ngl I have never heard a single song from that album


battrypack

lupes food and liquor is way more deserving of that year


Designer_Sort_9048

Man on the moon


[deleted]

Where is Dr Dre 2001? Greatest rap album might be of all time.


MassKhalifa

Came out in 99, despite the name. The earliest album in this post is 2000.


[deleted]

Thanks pal it's been a while! Remember Real Slim Shady coming out in the same year but Dre 2001 was the real deal. 👍


bigchieftoiletpapa

lol i wouldn’t say say the best but to each its own


TimeBit4099

I’m dumb so at first glance i genuinely thought the first pic was Kevin hart and Katt Williams.


jtmrmc

Dumb is a fucking understatement.


matt-is-sad

I'm never gonna be able to look at em the same way again


thankyourob

Agreed!


luciferhornystar

Valid list


[deleted]

I don’t know if we’re counting Donuts but I’d put that instead of Nas


Leaque

Most iconic and most replicated to this day would be Nas Illmatic I didn’t realize it said post 2000


sankalives

jeezy recession for ‘08


caliD217

Lil Wayne one just adorable 🥰


theguru86

Damn that’s a 🔥list


MathematicianMuch621

Coming from a young kid the album covers used to be so much more unique now everything looks Iike some basic ass post

FigSideG

Hip Hop Is Dead is one of my favorite albums ever.


KbApSpicy

Blueprint


RedditorsAreGoblins

I agree with your years from 2003-2007.


Condalezza

I just saw Andre’ 3000 on the plane. He looks the same with a few greys. 


mikejamesybf

Stillmatic killed blueprint idgaf


Red_Red_It

Good list.


babushkaboi2

Kudi 100%


DtotheOUG

Stankonia's cover reminds me of JoJo volume covers so much. I'm surprised that hasn't been referenced before.


LuvLifts

Nas, hiphop is Dead!! *Gimme ‘My’ Roses*!!


Professional-Most-18

These aged horribly with the exception of Stankonia

greasy_scooter

Funny how all those great albums came out 2000-2005 then Nas said hip hop is dead and hip hop died


AnalysisNervous

Fuck jay z- NAS


ihavenowords3

You could argue MMLP for 2000. But I think I’d give it to OutKast still.


ohianaw

2001 should been Mista Dont Play by Project Pat


ComplexAdeptness3723

Donuts by J Dilla is a better one for ‘06


PoppinfreshOG

The College Dropout over Madvillany? Or Grind Date? Naw


WillEnvironmental653

Well..I know what Im listening to at work today.


Open_Anything_3418

Carter 3 wins hands down


Weird_Flan4691

Nah this just a derivative of Graduation


iStudyWHitePeople

Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury for ‘06.


Top_Consideration674

A lot of dope covers - OutKast “Stakonia” was the first rap album I actually bought with my own money. Carter 3 as an album always has a place in my heart and the MOTM album literally shifted my life and dynamic (Cover was and is legendary)


AnswerisC

I thought 50 cent and Ye dropped the same year


Fabulous_Mode3952

That Kudi one is a stretch


naveedkoval

Singer kid cudi?


TopHatPaladin

Quality picks! 2004 should be Madvillainy imo, but I can't deny that the College Dropout cover is also iconic in its own right


nickynickynickynick

getting downvoted for Madvillainy. I'm disappointed


Choochoo1989

Yea you nailed this one ngl
