    I mean there are so many albums from the NY scene it’s hard to quantify

    The fact that so many amazing albums are in contention for this category is why NY is GOATed

    I think I'd actually put Liquid Swords over it, but The Infamous number 2

    Ready To Die
    Reasonable Doubt
    Illmatic
    OB4CL
    36 Chambers
    Return To The 36 Chambers
    Ironman
    Hell On Earth

    s*** is stacked from that era

    I'm not a huge fan of it tbh. Fear of a Black Planet however is unreal. Old heads big up Nation of Millions though, I just think it's been surpassed for what it was trying to do, by Public Enemy themselves as well as others.

  • Nov 7, 2021

  • Nov 7, 2021

    Infamous and Ready to Die represent NYC the best I think

    I think there is about 10 albums that can be considered the best from NY and this is one.

  • Nov 7, 2021

    Also its dark and hell is hot is up there for me too

  • Nov 7, 2021

    Nyc has way to much classic hip hop to have a consist list. Y’all gonna have to pick another city

  • Nov 8, 2021

  • Nov 8, 2021

  • Nov 8, 2021

    I think it’s just the best hip-hop album in general

  • Nov 8, 2021

    F***in amazing album. You can feel it like you’re right there.

  • Nov 8, 2021

    nothing tops illmatic in my eyes

    I agree. It’s something about this album. It’s authentic, it’s grimy, it’s honest, it’s angry at times, I f***ing love it!

    This sounds like a commen you see on the back of a book

  • Nov 8, 2021

    it's in the discussion for sure
