2 good albums: sitting on chrome and Emc - the show
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

can't judge about many artists since there are not much artists of whom I've heard every single album.

maybe not relevant to most of ya'll, but I'd say the polish rapper
O.S.T.R.
dropping straight classics :D of course not every album is a classic, but practicaly every album is fire, and there's barely any crappy songs :)

My vote goes for Nas. 'Nastradamus' was still better than 80% of the crap you might hear nowadays.

I'd say Big L has the best discography, but he died after his first album so he never got the chanse to put out a bad album (not counting the Big Picture cause that was put out after he died).

If Big L doesn't count I'd say Nas.

LOL.

It is "generally considered" to be a better album I know, but I prefer Death Certificate.


They're both "generally considered" to be classics without much difference between quality. Haven't bumped Death Certificate in a while though. I remember buying that like 8 years ago, but it's gathering dust. :shakehead:

jayz no doubt about it... imo he doesn't have a lot of Standout albums without the obvious (bluprint, black album and reasonable doubt) his consistency is quite amazing... any rapper that can go as long as jayz has and still release shit that's somewhat good, is quite impressive...

nas too but not at the caliber of jay...

when lil wayne finishes i have a feeling most people will be going with him... and that's basically because that guy is a workaholic.

i see what ur saying... Rakim bores the shit out of me.. i mean i still think he's a really good rapper but he doesn't have the charisma of rappers like eminem or jay

One of the first people that actually complimented Lil Wayne's persistence. That's one of the few things I admire about Lil Wayne. He can record so many songs a day (no matter how good or bad) and still end up looking like he smoked weed all day.
