I agree, some of them deserve to be higher on the list, but for some of these legendary artists, are we talking about their impact? or their music?

Musically speaking, I do believe the 2010s have given us two of, if not the two most accomplished hip hop albums ever: MBDTF & TPAB. So yeah, to me Kanye and Kendrick are musically better than those from the 90s. I'd also add Tyler the Creator -an artist I hate- to that list and argue that The Roots last records were their absolute best work, musically.

I do remember the Brother Ali tweets you guys are talking about that, and he's 100% right imo.




Joe Budden and Common discussed these tweets as well, both agreed that while the 90s had better spitters, the 2010s had much better artists.
So yeah, I have read your comments and respect your opinion, but I disagree with you. I'm a big hip hop fan myself, grew up on jazz and funk, but I can't say I was impressed with 90s hip hop. From a pure rapping perspective? sure... but the music was never that good to me.

Good day to you sir (this is why I don't post in The Booth section) .

I won't lie though, it took me a while to accept that some of these most recent albums were better than my favs. But it was mostly nostalgia in my case.

Strong cosign

Radiohead, Swans, Kendrick Lamar, Tame Impala, Frank Ocean are the truth

 

[Not Crodie]

just noticed there's 3 mediocre Jay albums but only 1 from Nas

As if RollingStone were gonna feature some badly produced albums on their list of Greatest Albums Of All Time

 

[Nuuko]

If Pac doesn't have a top100-150 tier album like you claim, Biggie certainly doesn't have any top 500 album. That big fat fukk has shyt syncopation on almost every single track

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

No Thriller in Top 5 =

 

[derro13]

No Thriller in Top 5 =

Its number 12

 

[Po pimp]

Thriller has way too many flaws for it to even be in a top 5.................

Like what?
