Complex Canonical Hip-Hop of 1994

Much as I love Ready to Die, Illmatic was still the easy choice for me.

still no spice 1. ban ablaeser

Still vote for Outkast, even though Nas is v. close.

Poor Coolio. Written out of history yet again.

Since I voted Organized Konfusion on the other poll, I think I'm gonna vote Gravediggaz here. 6 Feet Deep is definitely better than Illmatic (my favourite Nas album is still God's Son), though I've never really listened to Biggie, so I can't say if he should win this.

I find NAS lukewarm. I voted Ill Communication just barely over Ready to Die. Also like Digable Planets, Gang Starr, Jeru The Damaja, Method Man, and Outkast

yeah if only illmatic were as good as tical

Anybody gonna vote Keith Murray?

No.

'creepin on a come up', 'uncle sam's curse,' 'amerikkka's nightmare' 'constipated monkey,' maybe even boogiemonsters.

im not a huge fan of 'the outside lookin in' as ball and g albums go but it could probably be mentioned anyway.

anyone have an opinion on the erick sermon solo album?
or e-40's 'mail man'? all i know is 'captain save-a-hoe'

UGK's 'supertight' i would take over a few of the albums in this list too

oh yeah and Deion Sanders 'primetime' :D

have you heard the dfc's(of "...and the DFC!" fame) first album? i dug it back then but i don't think it held up last time i pulled it out. The Erick Sermon is good, sunny NY beats, a little busier and more gimmicky than what premo was doing at the time but he was right up there. not bad lyrically either. not sure i ever heard mailman all the way through

would be cool if these kinds of ilx hip hop threads would go beyond NY canon stuff now, esp since the last couple years this kind of shit has been allll over the place 'rediscovered' by the internets and not exactly obscure

flint represent

e sermon solo album = only noteworthy track is the one with Keith Murray (who has his best verse ever on it)

Don't post in a poll that basically asks "Do yoo like Biggie or Nas?" complaining why people aren't stumping for Kwest The Madd Ladd.

Start a new thread is what i'm saying.

where IS Shaq Fu???

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

Scarface - The Diary 0

this makes me feel guilty though

> Don't post in a poll that basically asks "Do yoo like Biggie or Nas?" complaining why people aren't stumping for Kwest The Madd Ladd.

The drums on 101 Things to do While I'm With Your Girl are pretty great.

yeah the diary getting no votes really sucks. but i voted illmatic so i can't complain.

Yeah it's almost as if there's better albums on the list.

ok whiney.

there isn't though

so you voted for it?

i didnt vote in this thread

me neither - would've voted for Blowout Comb again anyway

it's not better than illmatic or ready to die. but it's probably as good if not better than a lot of the albums that did get votes.

as is nearly all the rest of the non-voteds
