No need to give arguments, I just want you to drop a list !


mine:

Albums:
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Killer Mike - Rap Music
Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid m.A.A.D. City
Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

Mixtapes:
Big Krit - Return of 4eva
A$AP Rocky - LiveLoveA$AP
Wiz Khalifa - Kush n OJ
The Weeknd - House of Balloons
Chance The Rapper - Acid Rap

Good post to start this thread.


I don't think all mine are classics, but if we're trying to fit 5 into each catergory...Mine:

Albums:
Kanye West - MBDTF
Killer Mike - Rap Music
Kendrick Lamar - GKMC
The Roots - Undun
Black Milk - No Poison No Paradise

(going out on a limb with the Black Milk, but I love that album and think it will be appreciated more as time goes on. Also could have put Roots - How I Got Over, Pilot Talk, Channel Orange as well.)

Mixtapes:
Big Krit - Krit Wuz Here
Big Krit - Return of 4ever
Kendrick Lamar - Section.80
The Weeknd - House of Balloons
A$AP Rocky - LiveLoveA$AP

(really could have put Krit - 4eva N a Day as well. I noticed some put what I listed as mixtapes in albums...I consider them released as mixtapes, but quality and cohesiveness as good as any album released, and in the long run we need to respect like albums)
