List of all the 5 Mic & XXL Rated Albums...Which do you remove, which are missing

[CM_Burns]

First one I'd remove is "Cac Hipsters Hath Much Praise"

 

[TransJenner]

Life is good
Bun B

Kendrick

 

[CEITEDMOFO]

 

[Xtz23]

Add

Hell on earth
Liquid swords
It's dark and hell is hot
Grodt
Add hell hath no fury to the source



Remove the last 3 on xxl plus late registration/ common be/college dropout
Remove the last 5 on the source

 

[#1 pick]

The Naked Truth is not 4 mics much less 5 mics. Bun's 5 mics was wild too. Most 5 mics deserved it.

 

[L $ C]

Take out Lil Kim's disgrace to Hip Hop and add Life Is Good and Be on the Source's list.


Take out Lost Tapes (its a compilation) and add Stillmatic on XXL's list

Kim’s album better than buns on here

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Feeling the 5 mic list more, I'd add college drop out and 3 ft high and rising and common's BE, I'd remove life after death and all eyes on me, and I'd argue for E. 1999 Eternal

Edit: hell nah, the only Kim album that should've be considered a classic is hardcore

I knew it was somethin' I liked about you

Will get this out of the way, since my days, i've always had unconventional/unpopular opinions on hiphop - most would toss tomatoes at me but my opinions are just that.

A lot of that old school stuff doens't belong on there (i've had quite a few of them on cd during my hard core golden era/back packer phase) - but that's prolly cuz they sound so outdated (Straight out the jungle and any of cube's albums before predator didn't digest well with me).

Muddy Waters isn't on there? Ridiculous.

Smif and Wessun's Da Shinin' should DEFINITELY be up there. Enta Da Stage should get a nod.

Other honorable mentions i consider classics by replay value, influence, production, impact and overal experience (i'm not a lyrics guy):


Mase: Harlem World

Rappin' 4 Tay - Don't Fight The Feeling

Camp Lo - Uptown Sat Night

Return of the 36 (as a matter of fact, i enjoy this album more than liquid swords, iron man, Cuban Links - you name it).

Deltron 3030

Master P - Ghetto D

Em - Slim Shade LP

Cormega - The Realness

Dr Octagon - Octogonocologist

Diamond D - Stunts Blunts

Do or Die - Picture This

Jeezy - Recession (this is arguable, but imo, a modern day classic... i'll take the tomatoes in full barrage on this, but i stand by this album).

Timbaland and Magoo - Welcome To Our World

DMX - Its Dark.

JD - Life in 1472

Bone - Creepin On uh Come Up

MF - Operation Dooms

Illadelph Halflife

O.C. - Word Life

Pete/Cl - Main Ingredient

Mos - Black on Both

Eric and Ra - Don't Sweat the Tech

Gangstarr - hard to earn

------


Never understood why The Score and Reasonable Doubt always make these coveted lists. As a matter of fukkin fact. Doe Or Die >>>>>> RD.


Miseducation was always shiit to me too.


Also, i really enjoyed Big L's Lifestyles. Never makes anybody's top 10 but that shiit was flames.


And i'm going to be deemed ratchet for this and any respect or credibility revoked but here it is...


Diplomatic Immunity.


.

These are good great additions though I disagree about Reasonable Doubt. That album is flawless. That album flows perfectly with them smooth jazzy beats and Jay sitting his best shyt throughout. Just because the masses were late to realize it until he blew up doesn't make it any less great. That's the public's fault, not Jay's

 

[TheNig]

Can someone please explain to me the "genius" of Dark Fantasy?

Aside from Power, Devil In A New Dress, and So Appalled, I think the shyt is kinda goofy.
