First, BTNH has at least 20 songs that would qualify as some of the best ever. Then, Tupac has about ten by himself. Then, you got the rest: Ice Cube - Today was a good day Do or Die - Po Pimpin' Dre ft Snoop - Nothin' but a G thang JayZ - Can I get a..., Hardknock life, a bunch of others Nas - (he has lots of good ones) Dead Prez - More than Hip Hop Warren G ft Nate Dogg - Regulate Chamillionaire - In love with my money Scarface - Smile, My Block DMX - (has a bunch of good ones) 50 Cent - many men Ja Rule - clap back Method Man - Getaway Biggie - One more chance, Victory, Notorious Thugs (ft BTNH) Bizzie Bone - His entire first solo album is the BOMB! Krayzie Bone - Anything this guy does is great LL Cool J - Shut 'em down Busta Rhymes - Ante Up Damn, it's hard to recall everything, there must be hundreds more that I like.
Ja Rule? Ja Rule? Ja Rule? Man you mad Biggie roll over in his grave? Update, oops i read his post and replied. I did not knwo everyone else clowned you already.

Excellent List right there, Gotta have some Kast and Til I Collapse is my favorite Em track. I have to admit i haven't been into rap lately as much as I once was. There just haven't been many good albums to come out lately. Chamillionaire's was probably the only one worth listening through. Kanye cleaned up only by default because this was certainly a gimmick song/r&b year.
I can't believe I spent 30 minutes on that post Dude, I think can read my mind. Besides a catchy song here and there rap really sucks nowadays. Chamillionaire and a Nelly song here and there is all there is nowadays. I hear my wife tell me all the time to stop playing old songs in the car but I got nothing else to listen to. I got the Biggie Duets CD just to get a taste of what songs used to be like.
Gonna limit it to two songs an artist. And I'm trying to not make it so obvious. So don't clown me for not having tons of Big and Pac. Thanks. Big - Kick In Tha Door Blackstar - Respiration Capone-N-Noreaga - Invincible Clipse - Grindin' Clipse - p***y De La Soul - Much More Dead Prez - Hip Hop Del - Time Keeps Slippin' Game - 300 Bars Gang Starr - Above the Clouds GZA - Liquid Swords Jay-Z - Can't Knock The Hustle Jay-Z feat.

Talking about how rap used to be so much better is soooooooo played out. There's plenty of good rap out there...Kanye, like him or not, has really come into his own as a rapper...he was already an outstanding producer...Jay-Z will probably un-retire soon...Common just released what's probably his best or second best album to date...Talib Kweli just released a new album...TI's due for a classic...Outkast is around, Nas is around, AZ just released an amazing album. Rap's not dead...at all.
Public Enemy A couple of my favs (although I have many more): Award Tour - A Tribe Called Quest Passing Me By - Pharcyde
Re-read what you typed. I will give you Kanye, that is about it. Everything else you typed basically says people are due up, or it was thier best album yet. Common is not that good. So his best album will not be that great. Outkast has not come out with a great song in 2.5 years. You are wrong my friend.
Criminal Minded - Boogie Down Productions Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hiphop - Boogie Down Productions Licensed to Ill - Beastie Boys Yo! Bum Rush the Show - Public Enemy where have all y'all been??? this far into page two of the thread without any BDP? y'all need to check your history...
Sorry if I went over 20, way too difficult to narrow it down. 2Pac - California Love 2Pac - Changes 2Pac - Hail Mary 2Pac feat Scarface - Smile BTNH feat Notorious BIG - Notorious Thugs BTNH - Thuggish Ruggish Bone BTNH - Crossroads Notorious BIG - Hypnotize Notorious BIG - Juicy Notorious BIG - Who Shot Ya Craig Mack feat BIG, LL Cool J, Busta, Diddy - Flava In Ya Ear (Remix) DMX - Ruff Ryders Anthem Dr Dre - Keep Their Heads Ringin Dr Dre & Snoop Doggy Dogg - Aint Nuhin But a G Thang Dr Dre feat Snoop Dogg & Nate Dogg - The Next Episode Eazy E -Boyz in the Hood EPMD - Symphony 2000 Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full Jay Z feat UGK - Big Pimpin Lil Troy - Wanna Be A Baller Luniz - I Got 5 On It Nas - One Mic NWA - Express Yourself (Remix) NWA - **** The Police Run DMC - King of Rock Run DMC - Walk This Way Snoop Dogg - Deep Cover UGK - Take It Off Warren G - Regulators Wu Tang - C.R.E.A.M.
Looking at your list of safe choices it's clear that Common is probably a bit over your head. Biggie, Pac, Biggie, Pac, Eminem, Snoop, Outkast, Jay Z, Nas, Busta, Ludacris, Kayne, Run DMC, Wu Tang... Seems like you came up with that list hoping not to get flamed.
seeing as there's maybe 2 references to A Tribe Called Quest and several references to rappers suchs 50 Cent, Young-Jeezy, and the like... i'm forced to believe that many of yall wouldn't know good hip-hop if it punched you in the face.
BE was a good album but it wasnt better than One Day It'll All Make Sense or Like Water For Chocolate. Outkast has a new album called "Idlewild" coming out soon.
