Logic saying "fuck rap" because nobody likes his music and then continuing to rap for like 5 more albums was priceless

Thank you hip-hop, you saved my life

I revisited Radio recently and honestly for a 1985 album it holds up extremely well. It’s not one of those 80s albums I would put here just because it looks good, the rapping on there is still great and it bangs. Better than the run dmc albums imo

Happy 50th i love you the world loves you and always remember…if it wasnt for the Bronx

Y’all gotta listen to Breaking Atoms if you haven’t. Probably one of the most mature lyrical albums in all of hip hop with classic Large Pro production

Large Pro the most underrated MC

I'm running through the top 10 today actually

It's a crazy album and helped to shift the lyrical nature of hip hop into the golden age. LL is the bridge between Run-DMC and Rakim

THIS RAP S*** PROBABLY NEVER WOULD BE GOING ON

idek man off top prob

Tha Carter III
Acid Rap
To Pimp A Butterfly
Oblivion Access
The Powers That B
Madvillainy
Yeezus
Atrocity Exhibition
Doris
Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

ima bump this later, thanks for the put on

Great list bro!

Mecca and the Soul Brother is such a great album

Let me know your thoughts, it’s a real favorite for me, very concise listen with timeless lyrics

And yeah both Pete Rock and CL albums are amazing, a lot of my picks are shorter albums but they’re one of the few acts who made long ass albums with no skips or filler. Can just throw them on and enjoy
