El Guapo 8 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 OK, so I got this idea a couple weeks ago when the Music thread guys started their top albums of 2008. Then I felt really old because I literally heard of only a couple of the bands. I wanted to have a thread where we list our own favorite albums, based on what we have listened to most over our lives, not necessarily which ones we think are the best. I know that sound weird, but for example, number 10 for me is NWA and I am not going to claim that is the 10th best album ever.So my list is going to be primarily Rap/Hip Hop because that is what I listed to I will post the OP, then post my list in a second post.So put some thought in it and post yours, if nothing we will get a good idea of what we have spent the last 10-15 years listening to.

king_tanner 84 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Am I the only one who likes Chronic 2001 better than the Chronic?Also I don't see anything that I disagree with so I'll just say I agree with all the choices. I'd try to make a top 10 list, but that would take me a week, and I would be doing constant editing.El Guapo do you like E-40 just because it is a bay area thing, or do you actually enjoy his music? I used to like him, but after hearing his music at every single party for like the last 8 years I can't listen to him anymore without having a panic attack. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Tanner - I likd 40's older stuff. The original Click with D-Shot and B-Legit. Some of his recent stuff is very clubbish, but not terrible.Hank - GNR - Appetite probably should be in my top, but when I think of top albums I never think Rock. Poison Open up and Say Ahh, probably could be up there too.PMJ - I would guess that is probably the case, especially since we are about the same age. And yeah, I knew I had forgotten some with the Orig list. I am sure there are 10-15 other albums, like Fear of a Black Planet, that could easily be up there. Link to post Share on other sites

Though I would have to be the DJ, because just about everyone has about 4-8 albums on their list that I hate. Except Guapo Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 1. It Was Written - Nas2. Food & Liqueur - Lupe Fiasco3. Life After Death - Biggie4. All Eyes on Me - Tupac5. The Slim Shady LP - Eminem6. Greatest Hits - Outkast7. College Dropout - Kanye West8. The Misseducation of Lauryn Hill - Lauryn Hill9. Ear Drum - Talib Kweli10. The Bliss Album - PM DawnYes, I like It Was Written better than Illmatic and LAD better than Ready to Die. Not by much in either case, but enough that I give them spots on the list, same with Tupac's Makeveli. I have trouble picking a favorite Outkast album, I like them all pretty equally. I can't believe I don't have a Wu album on there somewhere, they would probably litter 11-20. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 8 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Can't disagree with Josh's list, except maybe PM Dawn, seriously where the **** did that come from?Fugees and Wyclef's solo joint should have made my list somewhere too. Link to post Share on other sites
