Is it a such thing as a rapper having an album with no skippable tracks, but.....

[Mowgli]

I think it depends on the subject matter in Jingle All themes of the album. Some albums may albino skip worthy tracks but the subject matter doesn't appear to be like a different project from the same artist

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Jigga and Hola Hovito are skips for me.

Celebration. Isn’t there a song with Brandy as well??

Agree with jigga but Hov was str8 spittin on hola hovito even tho the beat was kinda light in tha ass.
H to the izzo gets skipped bc of overexposure. All i need too bc its just ok

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Lotta nikkas aint gonna agree but

Guerilla Warfare is a contender
Also 400 Degreez(altho Follow Me Now is kinda shaky)

Definitely agree with 400 Degreez. I'd also say Get It How U Live over Guerilla Warfare.

Also, It's Dark and Hell is Hot. No song on Aquemeni is skippable but its got some skippable skits at the end where it's like, just get to the fukking song already.

Mamacita is a highly skippable trac.

ATLiens is the tru Kast with no skippables

Cuban linx > illmatic

Illmatic is flawless in every aspect of a rap album

Cuban linx > illmatic

The fact it's only 10 songs (really 9) is a bit of a cheat. Imagine if Cuban Linx, Reasonable Doubt, Life After Death were only 10 songs

This is probably easier to gauge in non-rap genres because there's often more experimentation and shifts in sound that a person might gravitate to. For instance, Purple Rain is a perfect album but it's not most Prince fan's favorite Prince album. IMO, Sign O The Times is his best album...but it has a track on there that I often skip (Play In The Sunshine). It's not a trash song or anything but still.

Rap wise...first rapper that comes to mind is DOOM. A lot of people would say Madvillainy is perfect (I'd agree) and is his best album. However my favorite DOOM album is Vaudeville Villain, which definitely has a skippable track (Open Mic Nite Pt.1). I just like how dark and different the album.

Exactly. Madvillainy is excellent but Operation Doomsday and VV1 are better to me.

Thats what im saying. Those albums are WAY better imo. Twice as long with an over abundance of 5 star tracks. Those albums were even bigger impact wise culturally. Illmatic is like a myth that gets passed gen to gen. Great album but its FAR from perfect being that its half an album in first place.

Reasonable doubt:

Dead presidents 2
Cant knock the hustle
D’evils
Brooklyns finest
Feeling it
Politics as usual
Can i live
22 twos
Friend or foe
Aint nO nikka


Cuban Linx:

Incarcerated scarfaces
Heaven and hell
Ice cream
Rainy dayz
Criminology
Glaciers of ice
Verbal intercourse
Knowledge god
North Star
Wu Gambinos

Life after death:

Hypnotize
Skys the limit
10 crack commandments
Kick in the door
I love the dough
Notorious thugz
nikkas bleed
Mo money mo problems
Long kiss goodnight
My downfall

Idk how any sane person can say illmatic HEADS AND SHOULDERS better than these albums. Illmatic is the “real” hip hop fans goto pick to look like they know what they talking about.

Aquemini has no skippables

"Mamacita"
so you can get to "Liberation".

It's commercial, sold a lot of copies, made Jay a star, and sounds nothing like his debut. Pretty much why The Booth hates it. Anything commercial on The Booth is discredited by default.

Why does it gotta be that? Cant it just be because thats how some of us feel?

I feel the production is very outdated and i dont see whats so great about it. Its definitely a solid album. Not great, but
far from wack too. Its a dope album basically. But all that extra shyt i feel comes from its popularity, based on the single, as well
as Jay-Zs overall success in his career.

Just like with Vol 1, the good songs are really really good. But the wack ones? Wack or boring as hell imo. Nothing new just him riding the Ruff Ryders/street thing after the Sunshine flop.

I feel another overrated album by far is Blueprint. I feel people rate it based on the production. Great production, and its far from a bad album. But people act like its Thriller or some shyt.
