What are your all-time favorite rap/hip-hop albums? Haven’t listened to nearly enough. Wasn’t until this year that I finally listened to A Tribe Called Quest and 2Pac. I know I’m missing out on a bunch of other good shit, but not sure exactly where to start.

Everything Outkast, especially southernplayalistic and aquemini. Biggie, pac, the chronic (and 2001), doggystyle, and the carter 2

I like a lot of 8ball and mjg, ugk comin out hard, etc

I am not a very tasteful or knowledgeable rap connoisseur… I just like to listen to it from time to time

Food and Liquor was great but this is a masterpiece IMO.

I agree.

Why skip track 1? That shit is awesome

Placement. Would’ve liked it at the end rather than the beginning. It’s a jarring introduction IMO but maybe that’s what they wanted.


Little Weapon is one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard.

Go Go Gadget, Little Weapon and Go Baby are my top 3 probably.

I remember getting real stoned to mow the lawn, was listening to Hip Hop Saved My Life and it shook me to my core. Had to sit down and gather myself.
