Honestly Rae might be the smoothest rapper ever just in terms of how his voice + how he talks
Can't think of anyone who sounds cooler
Dr Dre 100% Srs.
Sounds flabby af now but no one had that level of presence and arrogance.
how is it the best when ghostface renegaded every track he was on?
let's keep it a buck if anything it's a collaboration album for all intents and purposes.
Top 5 90s NY record though. The Infamous, Supreme Clientele, Illmatic, OB4CL, Liquid Swords in this order

Even if, the Infamous and Supreme Clientele were superior

Supreme Clientele was in 2000

The Infamous is one of the greatest albums of any genre for my money
Supreme Clientele was in 2000
Oh s*** I thought it was released in 98. Would swap that with Low End Theory then
Liquid Swords
Dr. Octagonecologyst
Infamous
Black Star
Illmatic
Is the real top 5

You said it with such confidence that I had to google that s*** lmaoo.

Nah you were right
Of the 90s Illmatic is definitely the best
No way in hell Illmatic is better than Infamous
Black Star is genuinely so much better than OB4CL and Illmatic lnao
It’s probably better than Dr Octagon as well but Dr Octagon is so much more entertaining to listen to.
No way in hell Illmatic is better than Infamous
He actually got the best verse there

Them niggas just ain’t rapping on the level of Nas on Illmatic lol. Most of the verses are out of this world. I do enjoy the infamous more sometimes like I enjoy a lot of albums from the 90s more. I get why Illmatic is held on such a high pedestal though

In terms of mic performance, yes. Nas was the better lyricist As a whole project It doesn't hold imo.
Havoc has changed the sound of hip hop radically with his production on the Infamous: distorted synths, piano loops... etc. They were all started or refined by Havoc. Not to mention Prodigy's performance as well. The album creates a consistent, dark atmosphere that you cannot find anywhere else

I agree, but once you play Infamous you are trapped in this dark atmosphere that best portrays the reality of Havoc and Prodigy. Plus they were 18 when they recorded that s***. It's unreal
an overrated group wouldn’t have their members collectively come up with debatably 4-5 of the best hip hop records of all time
Who else holds up?
Ya but that’s like out of 25 records collectively, this is my main point
And almost half the members were trash and never got any shine at all

All I’m saying is there’s people who worship this group
And they maybe got 5 classics out of their vast catalog
& half the group never got any shine
