NFR & The Needle Drop Rank The 10 Best Discographies In Hip Hop

The Kenny stan with 18 accounts is furious at the turn this thread took

What turn and why should they be furious? you're the only one that must be mad because the consensus is Kendrick has one of the absolute best catalogs in rap history
This will always be in the discussion and he'll always be very high on all these lists

Nas Jay and Kanye are not top 5 discography wise? People have seriously lost their minds

Kanye was, probably still is, it depends though... he stopped making acclaimed albums like 10 years ago, this has a massive impact on his placement.
Nas and Jay aren't top 5 no. They were never part of that discussion lol.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Does one or two more bad Kanye albums push him out of the top 3? Or are those classic albums so good it will keep him safe?

I think Kanye might be safe.

Dude dropped 5 classics in a row. He might have the best catalogue start in the history of this sh*t. I'm thinking, but I don’t know if anybody else has been able to do that. That sh*t was crazy.

We haven’t had a real OutKast album in 25 years. I love OutKast but they don’t have a better catalogue than Nas or Jay. No way

I understand Nas & Jay Z, what's your criticism of Kanye's discography?

I thought so too. I'm trying to point out that if others do a list and include: Scarface, Mobb Deep, Common, etc. then you will have to leave someone out. It's a harder task then it seems. Also, this has turned into 'who cares what they think, they are White'.

I personally don’t think their list are that bad. It’s more the order than the names. Dr Dre and lil Wayne are the only odd ones to me.

Actually you're right. People aren't mentioning Kanye as an artist with a goat catalog anymore

General discussions are about:

-Outkast
-Kendrick Lamar
-Scarface
-The Roots
-Ghostface Killah

Kanye used to be in the conversation but I guess the last couple of albums really hurt his legacy

So mad you forgot to deny you got 18 accounts

Wayne and Dre have no business being on that list, but other than that, their lists are really solid, specially the order.

I don't even have 2...

This.
The "We haven’t had a real OutKast album in 25 years" argument is wack. Maybe other rappers should take note and retire, might as well go 5 for 5 than 5 for 15.

nah I was responding to the idea that Nas, Jay and Kanye aren’t top 5 discography wise. I think all 3 are. The only problem with Kanye is recent music. It’s been a downward spiral since MDBTF

With Dr. Dre, for argument sake. If I argue that the 2 NWA albums, The Chronic, 2001, Compton; as well as Doggystyle, MMLP, SSLP (and the Above the Rim & Murder was the Case soundtracks) should be included in his discography. Does Dre have a top 10 argument??

 

[GunRanger]

When I see more MF DOOM mentions than 2pac, I know this isn't the conversation for me

This isnlike when people ask their top10 movies and they say Citizen Kane, Seven Samurai etc. It's just shyt they think people want to hear instead of things theyre passionate about

I honestly wouldn't count the albums he produced, they weren't released under his name
