Which one of these albums would you call the “Thriller” of Hip Hop?

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

Doggystyle, clearly, no debating.

 

[How Sway?]

Idgaf what anyone says about yeezy and his antics, this was a genre defining album and ye at his peak

the next in line would be a toss between these two

 

[Tres Leches]

chronic 1 2 3 to the 4

 

[ISO]

Get Rich

 

[Afrodroid]

AEOM

 

[3rdWorld]

Can't take you seriously with Eminem on the list..
Whats your agenda

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Chronic for me

Also if we are being fair.. The thread title says the THRILLER of Hip Hop.... That means a album that crossed over on a big scale. We will have to add MC Hammer. Love or hate him he sold a lot of albums and was a global star.

MC Hammer - Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em.

You guys are talking about critically acclaimed albums. MC Hammer was as big as Michael Jackson in the early 90s. He had kids wanting to wear baggy pants, sold out stadiums etc. Dude was the first rap artist to go diamond. He had the hood and soccer moms buying his album.

fukk are you nikkas talking about? It said “Thriller” of hip hop.

Ready To Die

 

[Tha_Mac]

Off the list I voted for All Eyez On Me but when I saw the title of the thread the first album I thought of was Makaveli which might not have sold more than All Eyez On Me or Thriller but as time has gone on I feel like it is a masterpiece. Musically, lyrically and the subject matter as well.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Sonically/Tone
ATLiens fits the Thriller criteria
None of the albums listed in op
Aged well like Thriller
OutKast drop two classic albums
Back to back
Aquemini is a very close second
That are damn near flawless like Thriller
shyt
Illmatic(although everybody is tired of the reference)
Is up there too
With Reasonable Doubt
But people look at both of those albums
As gaining legendary traction
Years later after there respective releases

 

[UNCLE JAM]

Doggy Style

Illmatic

 

[tuckgod]

This is probably going against the spirit of the thread but for me it’s Illmatic.

9 perfectly produced songs that each can stand on their own but meld together to make a perfect album.
