[Super Future Luther King Jr.]

These type of lists will forever be hard to compile becuz MOST of my FAVORITE artists have never released any CLASSIC albums IMHO...so this is going to be difficult and I am going to cheat. It's all chill tho

This is what I can picture vibing out to forever on an island

Artists with some of my FULL, favorite albums include

The Jacka - The Jack Artist
Big K.R.I.T. - K.R.I.T. Wuz Here

ScHoolboy Q - Habits & Contradictions

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND
Future - THE 4-PEAT (Ok, I cheated with this one brehs)
My FUTURE HENDRIX fans will agree tho

All in all tho I feel that's a good, unique list. I feel it's varied in sound, region, type of artist etc this is all shyt I ROCK with still in rotation to this day and won't leave

Aight. Now that's done, here is bout another 20 artists where I fucc with TOO MUCH of their music NOT to include them, so I would condense their personal discographies and create a "Best Of" compilation album for them:

J. Cole
Freddie Gibbs
50 Cent
Mobb Deep
Kevin Gates
Bone Thugs
Lil Wayne
Nipsey Hussle
Nas
Biggie
Plies
Spice-1
SPM
T.I.
Three 6 Mafia
Twista/Do or Die
Too $hort
Lil Boosie

DAMN A NUCCA LISTENS ALL OVER THE BOARD

 

[Super Future Luther King Jr.]

Lol @ my goofy ass still thinking about this and not being able to come thru with 1. Im the worst at favorite artists/music. I just like alot of shyt and at times of course it depends what you currently are listening to.

Many people feel like you breh, me included

 

[Super Future Luther King Jr.]

I can see why some people wouldn't even attempt to make a 25 list

MANNNNNEEE shyt was TOUGH breh

 

[TrebleMan]

MJ- Thriller
MJ- Bad
Lady Gaga- The Fame Monster (The Deluxe Edition that combined with The Fame)
Prince- Purple Rain
Led Zeppelin- III
Pharcyde- Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
ATCQ- The Low End Theory
ATCQ- People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
Outkast- Aquemini
T.I- Trap Muzik

Eric B and Rakim- Paid In Full
Wu-Tang- 36 Chambers
MJ- Dangerous
Janet- Rhythm Nation 1814
Aaliyah- One In A Million
Radiohead- OK Computer
Jay-Z- The Blueprint

No order.

I consider all of these albums classic. However, some would be taken off the list at other times. Some of these selections are only here right now because I'm vibing to them at the moment. I could have included more hip-hop: Midnight Marauders, nearly every Common album, ATLIens, De La Soul's first four albums, Reasonable Doubt, nearly every Drake album, more Gangstarr, more west coast albums, as well as 90's R&B, 80's rock, late 80's/early 90's pop, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, 80's R&B, etc.

Can't really make a Top 25 list and be happy about it. But no doubt can make a Top 100 easier.
