The 20 best produced albums ever

[Mr. Negative]

List needs more Wu. The Pillage and Liquid Swords are so underrated.

I hate that magazines and the internet made Cappadonna a running joke. The Pillage is a top 5 Wu debut album.

 

[KravenMorehead™]

36 Chambers
The Love Below
Blueprint
Midnight Marauders
2001
Late Registration

6 i could think of for recent decades. I gotta think

I feel your list but you need to specify if you mean production as in bolts and nuts(no liberace) or the mixing,mastering,sequences and A&R(features and such).

from a straight producing,mixing and mastering perspective your list is lacking

Marauders should be on there
Organised Konfusion's Stress
Safe+Sound
Trauma
All eyez on me
Mantronix Music Madness
PE's It takes a

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

400 Degreez by Juvenile was a great produced record, mixing could have been a lot better, though.

 

[ManBearPig]

The main ingredient should have been on there

 

[Redwing80]

No Illmatic or GRODT is a joke.

These best 2 produced albums (mixing included) off top

 

[Real N Quotes]

Gotta put Liquid Swords in there

 

[Piff Huxtable]

top 5 of the 21st century:

I Got That Work
Diplomatic Immunity
College Dropout
Mista Don't Play
The Documentary

You can't really go wrong with any of his albums, but Safe + Sound and Rhythmalism are probably the consensus best joints, front to back. Just take some time with his shyt, he's a true craftsman and artist. Street Gospel, the album he did with Suga Free in '98 is great too, but Free can be a bit of an acquired taste.

Anyway here's a few gems from throughout his solo career:

Rhythmalism

still waiting for that Quik produced El DeBarge album

 

[BobbyBooshay]

No Lord Willin

 

[eerieBell]

no mystic styez

no black sunday


no ATLiens/Aquemini

 

[Ohene]

this is what a lot of people are missing. i mean all of that shyt. That's why I understand why people would say 2001 is the best. But the order isnt important in my list.

no liquid swords

no purple tape


no mystic styez

no black sunday


no ATLiens/Aquemini

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is like #3 breh

I considered Aquemini but meh....the albums i listed are better to me. I didnt wanna force it simply because Outkast made the beat. When the Smoke Clears > Myystic Stylez. Wanted to put Liquid Swords there too ....cant lie. But I didnt want it to merely be a Havoc, Dre, RZA, Kanye list
