What is the best hip-hop album of all time?

Run DMC- Raising Hell

Illmatic- Nas is probably the most recognized as the greatest hip hop album of all time. My personal favorite is Reasonable Doubt- Jay-Z or God’s Son- Nas.

the chronic, doggystyle, illmatic, all eyez on me…

east 99 by bone thugs n harmony,
the chronic because like songs off that album stayed in the top 10 positon on the top 100 songs for like 8 months, tupac greatest hits

I def. have to agree with the first guy…RUN DMC!! classic. Check this website out

Chronic by Dre

personally i love The pick the sickle and the shovel by Gravedggaz, the whole album, for me, is listenable. easy on the ears and a real thinker, i found it way more pleasent to listen to than 6 feet deep…

…or Ready to die by notorious big. don’t get me wrong i loved tupac as much as anyone, his message was bold (yet unfortunately still largely ignored) i just got a bit fed up of all the west coast sound around at the time, biggie was something different.

I know you said the greatest but it’s too hard to name just one. My favorite is Midnight Mauraders by A Tribe Called Quest.

Others on the list:
Dr. Dre–The Chronic
Biggie–Life after Death
Jay-Z–Reasonable Doubt
Nas–Illmatic
Fugees–Ready or Not
Big Daddy Kane–Tast of Chocolate
Raekwon–Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Tupac–All Eyez on Me
De La Soul–Stakes is High
Snoop Dogg–Doggy Style
OutKast–Speakerboxx the Love Below
The Roots–Things Fall Apart

All of these albums you can listen to front to back without skipping a song.

The Chronic – Dr. Dre
Doggy Style – Snoop Dogg
Illmatic – Nas
E.1999 Eternal – Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
All Eyez on Me – Tupac

I love “Paul’s Boutique” (Beastie Boys)
