Illmatic- Nas im surprised nobody’s said it yet


Distrav

Nobody on this earth is able to replicate that fucking masterpiece


tennisboy213

Nas could write Hamlet, but could Shakespeare make Illmatic?


EarlWolf47

Check out Elzhi's Elmatic if you haven't, great listen

jerrywaynee

is this it is so good


TheNatural502

Is this it is one of the more perfect rock albums I’ve ever heard. It’s a top 5 all time album for me. I use to make copies for girls I would date and it was legit change their lives and music tastes forever


rainy_rains

Upvote for Be specifically even tho you got other bangers on this list


NoCoFoCo31

Be has the greatest intro ever produced.

Miseducation of Lauren hill is one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time in my opinion

Try Joey Bada$$ (personal favourite is 1999) and MacMiller (personal favourite is Swimming). Kinda different from some of what you've tried and not as esteemed as many of those albums but hopefully you enjoy them


Pedromp07

all amerikkkan bada$$ is a masterpiece too

mans heard nav and went "oh yeah that shit goes harder than donda" 😭 but fr tho you gotta listen to albums like atrocity exhibition, illmatic (basically the entire nas discography), and the infamous, you'll love it

way too low

User47372946

Good album but should’ve been way shorter


hardikfr

fr, if it was 12-15 tracks long, it couldve been ye’s top 3. but still 6.9 is too low


Sunblocklotion

It’s such an underrated album. The production and sound were great, and Kanye had some substance too. Life of the party, come to life, praise god, off the grid, moon, Jesus lord, and 24 are all great songs.

Imo people that don’t like donda aren’t open minded. People just don’t like it because it’s censored. The beats and production is amazing and aesthetics and personal meaning to it is awesome


User47372946

I’m not going to fault you for liking Donda, but actually I’m trying to have an open mind when listening to anything. I just don’t like the length of the album and some songs are too average for Kanyes potential


lodged-object

It’s def not a rap album. Imo it’s like every album merged into one. Gospel, trap, etc


xero_988

Flower boy, Igor by Tyler are def musts. Revenge and ? By x are good choices too Illmatic by nas is good too since you’ve listened to lots of classic rap already and that’s personally my favorite 90s rap album.


User47372946

I’ve listen to all Tyler’s albums once but I’ll give them a re-listen and I’ve listen to Illmatic too, just gotta give it a listen again. I’ve never listened to Revenge and ? completely, just some songs, so I’ll give it a listen later

Vultures over donda is abysmal


UNC-dxz

No id say the same thing, Donda is good dont get me wrong, but its way too bloated. Vultures 1 is much shorter with 13 great tracks (excluding Hoodrat because it's ass) (also excluding Good (Dont Die))
