The Kool Keith comment is just as asinine.

Eddie Murphy changed black comedy before Dave Chappelle, ergo Chappelle's cultural impact was nil.

LOL @ "people didn't talk about Operation till years later". You could say the same thing (rightly or wrongly) about The Big Lebowski, J-DIlla's whole catalogue, Charles Bukowski's whole career or The Wire. Nothing could be more irrelevant to the discussion of "legacy" than what people theoretically...

Killa Season has a couple dope songs. A couple decent joints. The rest is trash. The beats are a giant step down from Cam's previous work, which is a big part of why this album just doesn't measure up. As a far of Mr. Giles work, I can understand liking the record anyway. I enjoy Fishscale despite i...

I'm a Cam'Ron fan but Confessions of Fire and Killa Season dead any chance at a flawless 4 album run. And I say that as a person who still owns CoF on cassette. Cam just wasn't really there yet. Killa Season is pretty much asscheeks. Common Sense has a better shot, honestly. He would not have won (a...

I liked Sex & Violence and Return of the Boom Bap more than the previous two, fwiw

I thought Eric B didn't do anything on those, like, he was just a figurehead and muscle? No? Either way, I didn't nominate those records and if you can find a great 4 album KRS run, please enlighten me. I tried. To me, if youre the only rapper in your group, you should be on this list. I dont know ...

rapping over straight soul songs This was Ghost's lowest point of creativity. :free: respectfully disagree. What about those songs is so uncreative to you? At least from a rapping perspective? He is not a beatmaker, so I don't really take him to task for not doing something more with the beats. Rap...

It's interesting how many quality artists who have experienced the requisite longevity really can't even get on this list. Which doesn't make them less great or even better than people on the list but is noteworthy. Nas Jay KRS Monch E-40 Cam Eminem etc Making four consecutive great SOLO albums is p...

I voted DOOM. There were posts about it in the Ghostface thread where this thread found it's genesis. Operation Doomsday and Madvillainy are universally critically acclaimed albums, modern classics. Vaudeville is great, I would take it over the previous two in the right mood. MM...Food is, at absol...

All Eyez on Me is a double album that honestly, has not stood the test of time. :larry: But you're gonna let that shit he said about Redman's first album slide? It's one that you can appreciate, even if you were in vitro at the time. 39 I never really liked it. He was yelling too much, beats were n...

comments in the early pages of this thread had me excited to listen to this album and I agree with Alaska and others that it was a noble attempt but the execution failed. All the separate elements (Younge's production, Ghost's better than his last couple of albums rapping, etc) are ok but when comb...

Democracy is messy-Dick Cheney

2Pac won't get a lot of love regardless, but All Eyez and Me Against The World are my two favorites (especially considering Pac's obvious change as an artist between them). You can say All Eyez doesn't hold up well, but when you listen knowing that the songs were basically freestyles that Pac was c...

All Eyez on Me is a double album that honestly, has not stood the test of time. :larry: I guess there is always you...but any other people who can make it through both discs uninterrupted... :fail: All Eyez is a classic for it's impact and notoriety, the trends it started, and the fact that it was ...

I'd add Kool G Rap (Road To the Riches, Wanted: Dead or Alive, Live and Let Die, 4,5,6) Rakim (Paid In Full, Follow The Leader, Let The Rhythm Hit Em, Don't Sweat The Technique) Scarface (Mr. Scarface Is Back, The World Is Yours, The Diary, The Untouchable) 2pac (Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., Me Agai...

soloists- so tribe, et al are out or of course, Outkast would win and we would all go home. LL is a good call. Lol @ Too Short I like E-40, but The Element Of Surprise takes him out of contention Redman's first and fourth just do not measure up IMO but hey, to each their own. Ivy League is correct, ...

Ice Cube: AMW, Death Certificate, Predator, Lethal Injection Aesop Rock: Labor Days, Bazooka Tooth, NSP, Skelethon MF DOOM: Operation Doomsday, Vaudeville Villain, Madvillainy, MM...Food (feel free to put KG in there instead of Food if that counts but I assume as a production album it does not) Ghos...

Yes. The Watch (aka Tony for Mayor) and The Sun.

Put them on your version and you have a classic record.

Thank me later.

let's try to avoid thread derailing tangents here the 'pedestal building' was not in regard to my or your opinion, it was in regard to implying that bulletproof and pretty toney were universally considered as unassailable Got it. And while we may have derailed the thread a tad, at least there's an ...

te] Fishscale has tons of dope shit on it, no idea how some people don't like that album. because it also has a ton of ehh shit on it and it came off of arguably the best 4 album run ever. i think you're forgetting about bulletproof wallets are you saying bulletproof wallets wasnt good? no but it mi...

Fishscale has been divisive around these parts...saying there was a notable drop off from Pretty Tony to it is not "retroactive pedestal building shit", it's our opinion maaan. It reminds me of this new one, full of good intentions, but cliche and impersonal. I just don't think Ghost has had anythi...

Bulletproof Wallets was compromised by the sample clearance issues. Put "The Watch" and "Sun" back on there and it's another classic. Fishscale did have too much filler, too much Theodore Unit. Still a good record but not on par with the first three. Pretty Toney vs Fishscale is a lot closer. The be...

Haven't peep 12 Reasons in it's entirety yet but my vote would still go to "Birds" off FMO

This is great though, and Roc sounds at home over Tree's beats, something that is not always the case on his guest features.

It feels good to be excited about a Ghost album again.

Wasn't there some sort of Blockhead remix promised?

I also got around to listening to that AM Breakups Myrtle tape, pretty cool.
