Rolling Stones' Top 200 Hip Hop Albums

[Damnshow]

So Addictive is arguably Missy's best album. Still wouldn't put in my Top 10.

There's a lot on the list I don't agree with, but off top:

This being a supposed all time list, anything released after 2010 would not be on it. Not because I think everything post 2010 is bad. It just needs to age some more.

It Was Written would be Top 50 (at least)

Life After Death >>>>> Ready To Die

Blueprint wouldn't be Top 3

Stankonia is way too high. I would have it somewhere in the 90's of the list.

Aquemini would be Top 25.

Mystic Stylez is like the go to album for hypebeasts and faux Three Six fans, bandwagoners. Not saying it isn't good, but that album is on here because you have artists that have pointed to that album as an influence or inspiration. I would've put Chapter 2: World Domination on there in its spot. That's where mainstream got its introduction to Crunk, that dark atmospheric sound that's still influential on that album and songs like "Motivated" had a sound that sounds like now.

TM101 would be higher in the list than Carter 2. Bigger album and far more impactful.

Basically, Rollingstone lazily ranked the Top 200 streaming Hip Hop albums. At least that's what it looks like.

There is nothing to discuss about this list, breh. They are literally mocking Hip Hop. It would be like picking Meet the Spartans or Disaster Movie, Epic Movie and pointing out bad things about the film when it's entirely made horrible to sell to the dumbest audience.

Proof that TPAB >>> Illmatic

Whole list is just a bunch of pandering.

"Let's throw in the classics for the older crowd so we look somewhat credible,, a bunch of new albums for the new generation, throw in random female rap albums for the female rap fans, lil nas x for the gays..."

I'm surprised they didn't throw BIg Freedia in there, they must have forgot.

The revisionist history of Missy Elliot in these new era hip hop discussions... No Stress The Extinction Agenda or Innercity Griots anywhere on the list.

I had to look up big freedia cos I've never heard of them and yea you spot on, they must just forgot all about him/her cos they look a definite candidate for this list.

Seeing the ‘culture council’ that made the list automatically invalidated it for me its like an all black publication listing the top 200 kpop songs, makes no sense

 

[Da_Eggman]

I can’t stand when non hip hop sites do list like this I’m not even gonna look I’m disgusted

 

[Da_Eggman]

Yep

Expert panel

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

List look fine to me

Them Brooklyn boys in the top 3 got em big mad

 

[The Truest]

Imagine having no Wasalu Jaco

 

[ADP]

Hope the magazine or whatever its meant to be disappears after this...

Or that whole staff of writers responsible for this article get fired and can't feed themselves anymore

 

[DaveyDave]

Wow Stankonia at #2 is a strange choice.

I was expecting the list to be horrible, but it's even worse than I was guessing.

I've seen a lot of awful top 100/200 albums lists in my life, but I think this one takes the crown.

I mean besides all the obvious stuff, there's even some bizarre stuff like Clipse Lord Willin at #12.

Once I saw Hell Hath No Fury on the list I assumed Lord Willin wouldn't be on there at all. But TWELVE?

Crazy list.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Stankonia was most White people's intro to Outkast to keep it a buck.

Soon as Andre started singing Ms. Jackson with that Confederate belt buckle, Kast became a pop culture phenomena outside hip hop.

Real ones know that the first 3 Kast albums and even Big Boi's debut is better though.

This is all factuals right here

 

[Ryda52]

I don’t know what Rolling Stone got against Death Certificate, but they stay lowballing it on they lists, amongst other things wrong with this shyt.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

A Future and Cardi B album being better than The Chronic amd Doggystyle... Yeah, I'd punch someone who yold me that irl.
