Who has the best discography in hip-hop?

[Almostlity]

You said it all tbh. Jay-Z gets my vote too

[DrRapid]

Notorious B.I.G.

Ready to Die
Life After Death

He's life got cut short before he could make a sub par album.

Well if you do it that way then I'll vote for 2Pac.

2Pacalypse Now - Straight political raw 2Pac (not a classic but it is an underrated album)
Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. - More political but 2Pac here is becoming more hardcore/gangsta but it remains in its roots as a good album
Me Against The World - Classic. My favorite album of all time. I just love the emotion put into it, I actually feel 2Pac's struggle and lyrically this is one of his best.
All Eyez On Me - Commercial hit but it is still a classic in its own way. Contains some really hot tracks apart from some filler.
The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory - An angry and raw Pac. A classic as well, this album is very dark-themed and I love it.

For me its 3 classics and 2 good solid albums. I guess I might be slightly biased towards 2Pac but I can't help it either. If not then it would have to be Jay-Z I guess, Nas just has some in his catalogue.

I have to agree wit this,and I would say that 2Pacalypse Now is also classic so 4 classics and 1 really good album,so Pac gets my vote

and as Coleon said Em hes dope discography 2 wit 3 classics(SSLP,MMLP,Eminem Show)and 2 really good albums(Infinite,Relapse)and 1 ok album(Encore)

[Tornado]

Xzibit...hands down

[Wic Kid]

Xzibit...hands down

He maybe did, till he put out Full Circle. Xzibit is tha shit, but that album just sucked.

[classthe_king]

Jedi Mind Tricks Nukka

[Relapse.LP]

Jay-Z, obviously. Word up to what One Mic, except The Black Album isn't a classic, IMO.

my vote goes to - Marshall Mathers

Classics
Marshall Mathers LP
Slim Shady LP
The Eminem Show
Relapse 2 (prediction)

Good Solid Albums
Infinite
Encore (including the bonus tracks!)
Relapse
Relapse Refill (prediction)

Ok Albums
Eminem Presents The Re-Up (if it had more of his own songs, would be in good solid albums)
8 Mile Soundtrack (same as above)

Crap
None. (he's that good)

Other
not only is he the best rapper alive (imo) but he's also the most famous. everyone has heard of eminem. even non rap fans have eminem on their playlists, he's the only rapper on their playlists. people who HATE rap, normally have one or two eminem songs (usually stan) i know this from personal experience. (my friends) no other white person has ever been as famous as eminem for rapping. he took on a predominately black music genre, and came out on top. his flow is insane, and his breathing control is amazing, no other rapper can match it. he stopped rapping for a good few years, and then released an album about drugs, which reached number one in almost every country. (itunes) eminem is the best rapper ever. IMO! < in MY opinion.

hmm, i'm aware i've gone off topic .. peace.

call me stan if you like, but i'm actually not a stan.

I respect your opinion, but you're not a Stan. Just someone who hasn't explored much of hip hop.

[embm]

yea em hands dwn yo
wit othrs i mite like only 1 song from each cd or none from a cd they put out ya kno
but nas & jay aint bad also missy

[Relapse.LP]

i have though, i just don't like them.

In that case what don't you like about the following albums?

Biggie - Ready To Die
Mobb Deep - The Infamous
Wu-Tang - Enter The 36 Chambers
Rakim - The 18th Letter
Big L - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous
2Pac - Me Against The World
Ice Cube - Death Certificate

^
They are all great hip hop albums

Alas, you seem eager to prove your supposed knowledge in old school hip hop. IMO, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted is a better album than Death Certificate. Crazy beats and crazy lyrics.

[slimsoxshady]

Tech N9ne

Even though he doesn't have a classic album imo, he's got the most consistent catalog. Shit even his two collab albums are very listenable which cannot be said for most collab albums.

Calm Before the Storm
The Worst
Anghellic
Absolute Power
Everready
Misery Loves Kompany
Killer
Sickology 101
K.O.D.

[Relapse.LP]

Jay-Z, obviously. Word up to what One Mic, except The Black Album isn't a classic, IMO.

Black Album>Blueprint

Noooo.

Maybe the Black Album had slightly better lyrics, but the production on the Blueprint was killer.

[Fa-Q]

Nas or Pac

[Xray]

DMX

It's Dark and Hell Is Hot
Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood
...And Then There Was X
The Great Depression
Grand Champ
Year of the Dog… Again

First 3 prime material, last 3 are pretty solid. And DMX > Jay-Z any day of the week.
