You Saw My Blinker Bitch is an all-time rap classic.

My friend found a cassette tape of that album at a thrift store and bought it for me (as a joke). Hilarious stuff.

Let me preface this by saying I am not a big rap fan:

Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet

Alkhaoliks - Liquidation

Andre Nickatina - Conversations With a Devil, Bullet Symphony (just for Ate Miles...).

Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor

NWA - Straight Outta Compton

Dr Dre - The Chronic

Snoop - Doggystyle

2Pac - All Eyes...

Nas - Illmatic

Wu Tang - 36 Chambers

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

;D...HAA.Yeah your right.Damn,Daddy X? Nice

I'm like CFH, I'm not really a big rap fan, its a distant distant distant second as far as my favorite types of music but here goes

Nas is probably my favorite, anything but maybe Nastradamus but even that I can listen too. Illmatic, Stillmatic, God's son, probably my favorites.

I loved the Chronic when it came out, great album, I haven't heard it in years.

I like Rakim, but I really missed him when he was big and then I heard so much about him that I guess it would be hard for it to live up. He is talented, probably wouldn't make my top five though personally.

I have a friend that thinks Liquid Swords is the greatest album ever, I like it, for a rap album its great. Not the greatest album ever but oh well.

What happened to the humpty dance dude :confused:

I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Tupac, Biggie, I was never a huge fan but they had some good songs.

Some of this stuff today depresses me, T.I., Lil Wayne, it just sucks, I'm sure there's some decent stuff out there.

This dude came into my place of work the other day and gave me his demo, he said Crazy Bone was his cousin and that he produced it, I was kind of high, I was trying not to laugh. Unsuccessfully. Who knows, maybe Crazy Bone was his cousin and really doesn't have much to do.

Its an easy one,Daddy X was the lead singer of Doggy Style,and The Kottonmouth Kings use Jack from TSOL on one of their tunes. Old school punker and all,not a huge shock that Id be in to them

I agree...
Not a lot of GREAT albums as of late with possibly the exception of college drop out. Even then I feel "great" is an over statement. More like a really good album...
