o noes dudes disagree

srsly i'd love to see that poll go do it xp

stop being lame, hoos

Biggie.

also, eight was a good number

goddamn yall can complain

you can also start polls you know

i voted for illmatic

hoos can make whatever poll he likes!!

ok dictator save-a-hoos

lol u guys for a second i was actually stressing about this

Method Man - Tical

hoos does not need saving, he is a very capable young man!!

Blowout Comb - I wore the fuck out of that cassette

diary

no spice 1 no credibility

i have never heard amerikkka's nightmare! will add it to list.

of things for me to listen to.

add it to your grocery list also

I think this is a good idea given the results of the last poll. But if it's a given that, if included, ILM will either elect Illmatic or Ready to Die only, I want that on record too.

Has that poll already been done? A search finds nothing...

HOOS OTM about leaving those off.

Zzzzzz...almost everyone here either went on to better things or their better things were already behind them. Digable Planets got my vote despite Blowout Comb's inferiority to the eternal debut.

Now a moment of silence for the sui generis Chip Fu (one of the five greatest rappers of all-time, ya know it!) and, um, the underrated Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age.

Zzzzzz
Zzzzzz
Zzzzzz
Zzzzzz

diary, duh

Jeru or Gravediggaz win this for me.

With Odd Squad right behind

Yeah on the list it's between Organized Konfusion and Scarface for me. But in reality I play "Fadanuf Fa Erybody" more than any of these records. Fuckin' with dem hoes with dem babies ah-woo-woo-woo-woooooo

Method Man - Tical

duuuuuuuuude, no

scarface

this is crazy poll! after much thought I went with Jeru

Gravediggaz is probably my favourite rap LP ever, but I've been starting to like Stress: The Extinction Agenda more and more, so I might vote that one.

Gillette – On The Attack

I actually kind of agree with HOOS on this (I know, it's crazy, a landmark year and the Stomp The Yard soundtrack should clearly be treated the same way!). Illmatic/Ready To Die would be an interesting one-on-one poll but they'd loom over this one so much it'd be boring. I voted for Common.

GRAVY!

lol whos voting blowout comb - choke yrself!

Beatnuts

Quite a year! Hope you enjoyed the Trendz of Culture record (also 94), too, Hoos.

I'm stuck between OK and Gangstarr right now.

Furthermore, props for correctly noting it was Common Sense who made resurrection.

Pretty weak list

Blowout Comb is the most underrated rap album evah

Gillette – On The Attack

-- xhuxk, Tuesday, April 15, 2008 7:30 AM (2 hours ago) Bookmark Link

ha. is the rest of the album as good as the singles?

Some of it is even better! (Better than "Short, Short Man," anyway; "Mr. Personality" is probably her best song.) (And her second album is real good too, by the way.)

digable planets are a steaming pile of poo

blowout comb is hot man

they rap like theyre trying to get a two year old to eat her whipped peas

??????

93 million miles above jhøshea

are u going to poetry slam later deej have fun!

jhøshea not from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

thank jesus

this is a weird list (and I don't even like Illmatic or Biggie)

anyway, Blowout Comb

damn hard...i'm stuck between warren g and jeru right now.

"Pretty weak list"

Bonkers. Between Stress and 6 Feet Deep for me.

Resurrection all the way! One of my favorite rap records (Chicago bias, but whatevs). Man I wish the last decade of Common didn't mostly suck.

Word...Life?

jhoser when's the last time you heard Blowout Comb?

G T TH R T TH A T TH V-- E T TH D T TH I T TH G. G T TH A, T' THA ZIG-ZAG Z-- GRAVEDIGGA, N1994! 6 FEET DEEP.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Gravediggaz is probably my favourite rap LP ever, but I've been starting to like Stress: The Extinction Agenda more and more, so I might vote that one.

haha i almost took gravediggaz off then i went 'nah tuomas will vote for it'

6 Feet Deep definitely has better beats than Stress, but no one can beat Pharaohe Monch and Prince Po at their best in pure rapping skills. Songs like "Bring It On" still remain the most amazing feats of vocal and lyrical dexterity I've ever heard on any rap record.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

reeeediculous

You guys.

too many tuomas sockpuppets

seems i was the only one to agreed with this tuomas sockpuppet

deej was there any result here that you weren't going to bitch about?

haha well we know you're no tuomaspuppet, you know stuff about stuff xp

@ alex im not bitching, i just think these results are funny

i mean here's a poll i wouldnt have said was ridiculous - one in which my favorite albums on it didn't get one vote

or zero in the case of eiht

i don't know why my hubcaps keep falling off

omfg

Beastie Boys - Ill Communication 1

lol who will own up to this

I mean its a damn good album and a step forward for the genre but best on this list?

pretty sure I forgot to vote

Warren G- Regulate...G Funk Era 1
Outkast - Southernplaylisticaddilacmuzik 1
Gang Starr - Hard To Earn 1
Scarface - The Diary 1
Redman - Dare Iz A Darkside 1
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - The Main Ingredient 1
The Roots - Do You Want More??!!??! 1

this is pretty unbelievable these are all A++++

that said i voted for beatnuts lol

Isn't that Roots album from 95?

how did i miss this poll?!?!?!?! ;_;

i would've voted for either gang starr or gravediggaz. they both sound better a decade + after they came out.

Isn't that Roots album from 95?

possibly. i c/p'd & pruned the list from my "POO: Year for Hip-Hop" thread

Don't blame me for these results, I voted for Organized. Can't see anything wrong with the winner though, since 6FD is easily among the top 10 rap albums ever.
