flamestrike Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 i really dont like rap, but tupac is like a mind poet dude, what he says is so insane yet it makes you feel so relaxed, hes insanly good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adthegreat- Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hmm all yours are Westside/Produced by Dre. I'd like to say Kanye West - College Dropout. Amazingly good lyrics, makes his own beats, and there are hidden depths and meanings. But all your albums are good, just a little one sided, ya know what i mean.

How2PK Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I'll go with Tupac the 7th day Theory. Anyway, it's too bad you gave us a list, maybe we have another fav. Rap album then the ones you listed. I think Talib Kweli and Dj Hi Tek with their album "Reflection Eternal" should be on it. What an amazing album this is, too bad you didn't put it up. And there's a whole lot of other amazing stuff out there. Review for "Reflection Eternal" can be found here, for those who havn't heard of it, and might want to give it a try.

Pyro Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Life after Death, with All Eyes on Me and Illmatic not too far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hmm all yours are Westside/Produced by Dre. Including the two Notorious B.I.G albums? :? I liked Kanye West's album because it was totally different to your usual rap. The Game has a good album out now. I don't know my all time fav though. Anyone who says 50 Cent I pity you, you probably don't know much about real rap. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 A couple that I like are 2001 - Dr. Dre and The Eminem Show - Eminem. I like the Nas one you mentioned too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhrobinson2 Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 i really dont like rap, but tupac is like a mind poet dude, what he says is so insane yet it makes you feel so relaxed, hes insanly goodhave u read his poerty? In The Depths of Solitude I exist in the depths of solitude pondering my true goal trying 2 find peace of mind and still preserve my soul constantly yearning 2 be accepted and from all receive respect never comprising but sometimes risky and that is my only regret a young heart with an old soul how can there be peace how can i be in the depths of solitude when there r 2 inside of me this duo within me causes the perfect oppurtunity 2 learn and live twice as fast as those who accept simplicity and to devil this is the one time i am biased, i will never say anything positive about jay-z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningstar Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP I don't really like rap though, so I haven't heard much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Average_Hobo Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Kanye west- college dropout Considering a little bit ago he couldn't open his mouth because it was stitched shut after a car crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmw Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Jay's the Black Album is amazing...hit after hit, it just keeps coming. One of the best imo. Illmatic is lyrically the best album, no question. All Eyez on Me was also lyrically great, meaningful songs. Eminem is a hot rapper, but his songs have no meaning really. They are just disses really, a few songs have meanings, but nothing too deep. Have you heard Kanye's new album? Ok, ok, its not released yet, bootlegged, but I DO plan to buy it still when it comes out. All I can say is that album is seriously hot. As good as College Dropout was, Freshmen Adjustment, his new album, is even better. Will one day be among the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightLite Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I'll say All Eyes on Me but for best rap album I'd say 2pac's Greatest Hits It's not really an album, but a collection, still my fav tho ;) - Only character in Runescape History maxed out in RSC and RS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adthegreat- Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Bubsa, i know there are B.I.G albums, but they are from the same time as tupacs albums, and my point was that the time scope he was using was quite short. And to the person that said about Freshman Adjustment, i thought that was just mixtapes, i really dont think its Kayne's new album. If it is im a little disappointed, he uses verses from other songs and its quite annoying, but hes till my favourite rapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how that was your point when remarking about "all westcoast albums" This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
