What is the Greatest Rap Album of All Time?

[LostInAnomie]

I say it is Dr. Dre's "The Chronic"

[Scoots]

1. Public Enemy -- Fear of a Black Planet

Or any of the first three PE albums. I would also suggest:

Run-DMC -- Tougher Than Leather
NWA -- Straight Outta Compton

[LostInAnomie]

2. Got 'em all.

The Chronic is still better in my opinion.

[Scoots]

4. Fair enough. Chronic had too many P-Funk samples for my taste. I would

rather just crank my P-Funk albums instead.

To be fair, in terms of crossover sales and influence I can definitely see the argument for Chronic, but for originality I'd have to go with the others.

Of course, if Chronic just sounds better to your ear, then I say rock on.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

3. "Low End Theory"

by A Tribe Called Quest. "The Chronic" is pretty good, though.

[MrScorpio]

5. Three Feet High and Rising

I have spoken

[ghostsofgiants]

6. I know mentioning a contemporary album in threads like this is heresy...

But I'd have to say Deltron 3030.



Absolutely brilliant album.
