Jay Rock too. His "follow me home" album is nice.

softvio:


tha album waza BIG BANG! F*ck evolutionist!
Evry track on that album is deep n interesting.. Hard tu pick a fav'rite but i settle for HOW MUCH A DOLLAR COST.. D storyline was ou'rof dis world

King kunta : abeg no hype dat nonsense vibe here ooo..lol

. for Real HOW MUCH A DOLLAR COST is a damn food for thought, the story and the twist at the end...mehn.
Lol I like the vibe in king kunta, tho it was more of the gra-gra but he also said a couple of things worth knowing.

But if you take a good listen to d album from the first to d last track, you'll realise it portrays moving from ignorance to realising the things that really matter in life (i.e from bad to good) and vice versa.

Qu3sT:
Check out

joey bada$$'s - 1999 (mixtape)
Cunninlynguists - Oneriology (I highly recommend this album)
Dr dre - The chronic (album)
Ab-soul - Control system (album)
Fashawn _ the ecology (album)
Lupe fiasco - Tetsuo & Youth (my favorite albm of 2015 and 'Mural' is my favorite rap song right now)
Kendrick Lamar - TPAB (second favorite album of 2015)
Kendrick Lamar - Good kid m.A.A.D city (best hip hop album of 2012 imo)
Logic - under pressure

Will think of more but this is just from the top of my head.

Yea that's a nice list. Although Fashawn's the Ecology was more of the flows than the message. And if I'm correct, I got the tetsuo and Youth Album in 2014, it's a really nice. A poetic kinda album. and mehn...the songs a damn long Lol

yeah the dude is so so deep.. He really portays himself as a caterpiller that later changed to a grown free butterfly.. Every track is deep..king kunta talks more king kinte,a very rich farmer who was amputated so he can't run with his farm products in america.. THE BLACKER THE BERRY : dude was sharing the blames of racism on the blacks to,cuz they contributed to gangbanging on the street, so they shouldn't weep when they heard that Trayvon Martin was murdered in the street by a white man.
Bro the concept too long to explain..ma eat first lol..i can outrightly compare TPAB with NAS - ILLMATIC

TPAB is a really great album. My only problem with it is that it doesn't really have good replay value. I can only listen to it when I'm in a certain mood.
That's where GKMC trumps TPAB for me. I could listen to it all day
"if pyro's and crips all got along
they'll probably gun me down by the end of this song
seems like the whole city go against me
anytime I'm in the streets I hear
yak yak yak yak"

[quote author=ShakurM post=35719852][/quote] I love psycho to hell and back.

Eminem's kings never die.

Rap god - Eminem
Revenge of the Spartans - Sarkodie
King Kong - Vector
King James - M.I
Run Jozi - Aka
Local Rappers - Reminisce ft Olamide & Phyno
That's all for now

yeah d album production was a mess to me.. Except"i" .. I have to listen closely to hear d message on "Mortal man"

Mobb Deep's......The infamous Mobb Deep 2014 album is a good album.......majority of the joints were recorded way back in 1994/95.......will recommend you book a spot for it in your archive.........real value for da dollar.

'All a dream ', 'check the credits' & 'Low(feat Mack wilds)' were my favorites in d album

AikayDaWrapper:

Men 1999 is a classic mixtape. my best songs on it are HardKnock, Survival tactics and Righteous minds.
Can't wait to listen to tetsuo & youth though. I've heard a lot of good things about the album.
Chance the rapper is another good guy. Surf is a great album. Only thing is I usually have to go to rapgenius.com to understand his lyrics because of the Chicago slangs he uses.

Surf was alright, i'll give it 6.5/10, My fav track of the album is probably 'Windows' and Chance greatly improved From his last project.

Dr Dre - 2001

Eminem - The Eminem Show & The Marshall Mathers LP (2 of eminem's greatest albums and was made when he was at his peak and it'll be a while be4 anyone can reach these two album in terms of lyricism, flow and delivery)

Nas - Illmatic, Stillmatic, Nastradamus
B.I.G - Ready to Die
Outkast - Aquemini, ATLiens (haven't listened to their first album though so I can't comment on it but these two are their best album)
2pac - All eyez on me
Snoopdogg - Doggystyle
J. Cole - 2014 forest Hill drive (although I prefer 'Born Sinner' over this album)
Phryme - Phryme
Wale - The Album about Nothing (wale really put in a lot of effort into this, nice album and my fav songs are 'the girls on drugs, 'the pessimist' and 'the white shoe')
Joey Bada$$ - B4.DA.$$ (not up to 1999 but still an ok album and 'Haesuz View' is up there with 'Waves')
BabBadNotGood & Ghostface Killah - Sour Soul (ghostface killah went hard on this with great songs like 'Food', 'Sour Soul', 'Street Knowledge')
Joe Budden - No Love Lost
Bad meets Evil - Hell: the Sequel
Kendrick Lamar - Section.80

EDIT: forgot about Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Nah mehn. I would give surf at least a solid 8/10. Most hip hop heads might not like it because it's not normal rap ish but that's the reason I love Chance. Because of his versatility. But I'd rate Acid Rap Mixtape over it. Acid Rap is like an 8.5

To each his own but if rate an album like 'Surf' 8/10, how will you rate an album like Kendrick Lamar's 'To P.imp a Butterfly, Lupe Fiasco's 'Tetsuo & Youth' and Ghostface Killah's 'Sour Soul'.

I would give TPAB like 9.7/10. Haven't listened to the rest yet. People I know have been hyping T&Y so I'll def check it out pretty soon.
Bumping At long La$t A$ap now tho. When I finish fully analysing that I'll move to T $ Y

Surf is a really good record bro. The album just gives you positive vibes and makes you happy.

At Long Last A$ap was great, Canal St was something else and M'$ was simple amazing with that verse from wayne but you should really check out Tetsuo & Youth cos 'mural' is out of this world......Lupe really pulled out all the stops. While you're at it u should definitely check out Sour Soul by Ghostface Killah, Yelawolf's Love Story and 'The Album about Nothing' by Wale

Well it's not a normal rap album since he mixes country with rap but that aside i'd rate it 7/10

Pls in the scale of 1-10, how good is that Tetsuo & Youth album?
Cause am a big fan of Lupe Fiasco - Food n Liquor album.. Some one should also tell what was the storyline of the whole album.
Thanks

. Yea actually Kunta kinte was a slave (a black slave) whose story was told in a particular novel.
And Blacker the Berry is one of those songs you be listening to as a black man, on the first two verses you be like polishing your AK to go shoot down d white house and on d third verse, all d energy and morale will just condense to d floor.....

The Thang is You have to listen to d album for like 3-4 times and make some research to in order to grab the message behind em. of course except for songs like how much a dollar cost, Momma, & blacker the Berry which tells straight stories.

Honestly I wanted to delete the album d first time I got it cos what I had in mind was sometin similar to d concept of GKMC .

I don't know tho but I think this album will mostly be compared with Section.80 than Good kid m.A.A.d city

Who else heard Em's freestyle on "Sway in the Morning"?

Hate and see who gives a Bleep/I invented prick/And this a true statement: I see the bi'tch in you, Caitlyn/I keep the pistol tucked like Bruce Jenner’s dick/No disrespect, though/Not at all/No pun intended, that took a lot of balls.”
