2Pacalypse Now isn't consistent the whole way through but it's better than Strictly at least IMO, I think it's a top 10 debut

Just quickly off top you think it's better than

AmeriKKKas Most Wanted
Paid In Full
Doggystyle
Criminal Minded
Liquid Swords
Illmatic
Breaking Atoms (practically a Large Pro solo album)
No One Can Do It Better
Great Adventures Of Slick Rick
Whut Thee Album

I tried to keep it to solo artists or "groups" that have one main MC and a producer. 2Pacalypse Now has amazing classic songs - like Brenda's Got A Baby but as an album it is not a classic or THAT good especially as a debut

I'm sick of the miseducation of Lauryn hill being on top Hip Hop lists.. Great album but that shyt was a neo soul album.. Might as well throw D'Angelo's brown sugar on these lists too :stopitslime:

Doo Wop
Final Hour
Lost Ones
Everything Is Everything
Forgive Them Father

^^^ All songs in which she raps and that alone makes much more Hip Hop than Brown Sugar. It's more Hip Hop than Neo-Soul.

:whoa: I didn't give it too much though breh chill. But 2 of those albums are obscure (at least to me) and I don't know much about some of them that's for sure.

Not a fan of Eminem but I'll give them Slim Shady but these fools tweaking with that Kendrick and Puff shyt.

It's Dark and Hell is Hot absolutely needs to be on that list way before those two...I see Kendrick getting the Jay Z treatment when it comes to debuts :mjpls:
