GZA & Muggs - Grandmasters (fuck you guys, this album is great)

Dr. Dre - 2001

Pete Rock - Soul Survivor

Quik & Kurupt - Blaqout

Ray Cash & Kickdrums

Aesop Rock - Float

Wu-Tang - Guest Chambers

Juggaknots - Clear Blue Skies

Battlecat - Gumbo Roots

Saigon & Statik - All In A Day's Work

Qwel & Maker - Harvest

AZ - Memphis Sessions / Cookin Soul AWOL Redux

Gangstarr - Full Clip / Ownerz

Bronze Nazareth - Great Migration

Jedi Mind Trick - Violent By Design

Goretex - The Art of Dying

Did Just Blaze do all of Philadelphia Freeway?

Wish more people would stick to a single producer.

I barely like any of the above rappers much, but the coherent production makes these albums so much stronger.

vastly underrated in the context which is the premise for the thread. easily one of the most cohesive sounding rap records, album or mixtape, on recent memory

^I hear what you're saying. But isn't this the album where every single beat has been flipped better by another producer in the past?

EDIT: perhaps I'm just salty because P raps so laughably bad on this.

not all, but there's a fair amount of well known samples, that is true. but you can probably say that about more than half of the albums listed in thread, if not more. and flipped better is a relative term.

if we're talking specifically about albums imo the question here is not 'did alc use Easin In better than whoever produced Loc'ed after dark'? The question is 'did alchemist use the sample in a way that serves his album well?'. and in that case the answer is yes

and you're not wrong about the rapping but i think somehow it works with the overall nihilistic depressed vibe of the album. he's so short and depressed he doesn't even want to dance or be on his own record

Cunninlyguists - A Piece of Strange

also I know BSBD are two producers, but Razah's Ladder had excellent production.
