Jesus not this goddamned thread again

nun of em cuzz there gay!!!!

Rush- Roll The Bones

WHy does everyone like this generic shit?

It's just uninspired surrealism, with no flow or emotional delivery. The samples are plain and unremarkable, very sounds lyrics are indistinguishable, the theme pretentious. I've never before heard a hip-hop album so devoid of fun or beauty. Why can't he learn the basics of rapping, he needs to learn about rhythm control and pitch. Not even the worse /mu/core comes close to this shit.

I love rap, but this sucks.

Pictures are always the intellectual high-road when it comes to responses.

Anything by Fat Jon really.

Madvillainy is the best Hip Hop album of the last 10 years

>>5061376

That is the only good album he ever made. He turned into a mega nigger after that. There are like 2 or 3 good songs on Stillmatic.

>>5061334
>devoid of fun or beauty.

Not enough MY NAME IS WIKKY WAKK AND I'M HERE TO SAY LOVE DA BOOTY BUT I DON'T PAY for you?

This really REALLY needs some more love

A challenger appears?

>>5061409
Cool straw man argument

I'll just be taking that winner's trophy.

>>5061334

I agree.

This album is overrated. I didn't particularly like it.

I can think of a lot of better hip-hop albums.

>>5061242

madvillainy is a decent album, but only an idiot hipster who has got 25 hip-hop songs in total on their library, would call it their favorite.

Whodini - Escape


sorry...i'm old

>>5061438

You sure do win the award for most overrated unremarkable bullshit in the whole thread.

I at least have madvilliany in my library, can't say the same for this garbage

Big-L sending garbage MCs to the graveyard

Astronautalis - The Mighty Ocean & Nine Dark Theaters

>>5061442
>but only an idiot hipster who has got 25 hip-hop songs in total on their library, would call it their favorite.
>Pic related, the most entry level album ever.

>>5061438

i take your 36 chambers and raise a liquid swords. i actually like them both equally, never been able to make up my mind. both so god damn good and swords may as well be a wu album considering all of the guest appearances.

this one

I love how people say DOOM has no flow.

Unique flow =/= no flow, or weak flow. It's an acquired taste.

subtle - a new white

>>5061242
>>5061432
>>5061468

good picks

>>5061484

Nigga, please!

>>5061477

Fucking love liquid swords!

Stankonia

>>5061533

The only correct answer because it's Pitchfork approved.

>>5061477
i was about to post that then duplicated file entry detected lol. great fuckin album.
also with regards to madvillain..
overrated? yes
no fun? lol no

>>5061490
So no flow is the new unique flow?

Okay.

>>5061334
you're fucking retarded

ask people who listen to gutter shit like blaq poet, m.o.p., prodigy, ditc, bcc, wu-tang, etc. they will tell you madvillainy is still a fucking classic. everyone recognizes it as an amazing album. everyone recognizes mf doom as an incredible mc (and has been since KMD) and madlib as an inrecdible producer (and has been since lootpack)... except faggoty /mu/ers who only hate it because it's now popular, at least within the internet communities they frequent.

>>5061560
So you're telling me people who you claim listen to shit like this album, and that makes it good.

What?

What the fuck is entry level hip-hop?

Here's my current Hip-Hop playlist, tell me what in here is "entry level" so I can know to never listen to it again, oh mighty musical guru of pretentiousness.

Real heads recognize that DOOM does some crazy shit with that mic, I don't even know why this discussion is being had and being taken seriously on the music board on 4chan FFS

>>5061560
What's good about him? Half of the tracks on this album are filler. That's pretty pathetic for a rap album. The album shoves meaning in an awkward position with no emphasis or even care for that meaning. Am I supposed to be influenced by apathetic lines? There's nothing wrong with a slow, controlled rap with the emotion not in the words alone but the voice as well. That's what rap has always been and that's what makes it so great. His samples are also half-ass. They're background noise that doesn't augment his lyrics. All in all this album might as well be a short list of poems because they aren't working when spoken and the samples don't cut it to call it hip-hop.

>>5061666
That's all entry-level hip-hop, no reason not to listen to it though.

>>5061666
Oh god how is that shit even organized?

mobb deep - the infamous

favorite line (from shook ones, pt 2):

you can put your whole army against my team and /
I guarantee you it'll be your very last time breathin'

or

your crew is featherweight /
my gunshots'll make you levitate

i've never doubted these fine fellow's street cred and authenticity. would not fuck with.

>>5061666
>53 songs
>Hip-hop playlist

That's all?

>>5061666
lol god i had a good laugh

>>5061719

Seriously...those are the only two guys in the game who are legit thugs. They will break into your house, rape your mother and shoot your dog in front of you. NO JOKE. I saw a YouTube vid once where they did just that...

itt: backpacker hipster faggots

Putting sucker MC's to sleep 24/7

>>5061719
i allways liked
''when i cock back the heat, whole crews retreat''

>>5061683
i hope this is a troll. please name an artist/album that you think is a great "hip-hop" artist/album

I can't believe no one has posted this yet...

>>5061802
>>5061719
Just so you know PRODIGY AND HAVOC WENT TO ART SCHOOL, they still produced one of the best hardcore rap albums of all time. Unfortunately it was all fairy tales.

>>5061455
You, sir, are a faggot.

1. Ready To Die
2. Illmatic
3. Midnight Marauders
4. Fantastic Vol. 2
5. Liquid Swords

The best.

This not true for Madvilliany, however it can be used in proper context for the album in question.

>>5061438
This choice ain't nothin' to fuck wit.

Gravediggaz for sure

>>5061846
Wale - The Album About Nothing
Kany West - Late Registration
Common - Be
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
Goodie Mob - Still Standing

All better than this

>>5061868
Too tied to the immediate time. It doesn't age well, just like any track about the Bush administration.

>>5062071
yep, white hipster trendy fag detected. fuck off.

I don't really care for Madvilliany, and MF Doom is probably my favorite rapper.

>>5062098
clever

>>5062042

>>5061992
Probably trying to troll, but it really wasn't that awful of an album

In my opinion the greatest hip hop album ever released.

ITT: Hipsters claiming that only hipsters listen to Madvillainy, even though they are just denying they enjoy it because its become too "mainstream".

>>5062172
Google
"Madvillain blogspot"
get 200,00 links

Whatever Juicy Karkass will release when he does an LP...

>>5062195
i just checked /rs/ and every link is dead.
imma go google.

>>5062013

this

<<and this
only got the "The Love Below" Half lol

>>5062192
I never said it's mainstream, because it's not. I dislike it because it's bad.

You know what? Fuck it. Busta Rhyme's Extinction Level Event. One of like three or four hip hop albums I physically own. Gimme Some More, the first two or three tracks following the intro, etc. I may just have to listen to it for a few minutes right now before turning the television back on.

oops, Law and Order SVU reruns are back on, enough of that.

I really enjoy Deltron 3030.

It's a really good album, it's fun, and a good listen.

>>5062066
NIGGAMORTIS MO FUCKA

That album is fucking excellent.

You can't hate on this, either.

Also, >>5061438

>>5061475
>durr entry level that's an insult right?

Nobody's posted this yet?

GOD

DAMN

..Same 10 albums every fucking time.
Just ONCE, would I like to see a rap thread that didn't have the following:
Talib Kweli
Nas' Ilmmatic
Big L
Aesop Rock
MF Doom
Like, I would be flabbergasted if that shit were to happen.

Now and forever.

I like Fishscale by Ghostface.

>>5062422

Good call, bro.

Uh. Guys?

>>5062422
This too.

>>5062437

There's been a lot of other stuff posted, too. Or maybe your need to be a cynical dick has given you selective vision to only seek out albums/artists you dislike.

Maybe because I've only heard it recently so it hasn't lost it's novelty but Cypress Hills' Temples of Boom hasn't left my car's CD player in a long ass time.

Best rap album of all time.
And /mu/ pays no attention to it.
Shame.

>>5062422

i remember downloading blue flowers and halfsharkalligatorhalfman from napster and buying that shit from wherehouse music's used section about 10 years ago, need to dig it out...

Whatever I listen to, I always come back to this album.

Astronauts get played

tough like a ukulele

>>5062465

mc chris is dead is probably my favorite thus far.

Goes toe-to-toe with any of the classics.
