Sorry I can't resist not doing this! Every1 on here answers when hip hop comes up on this blog

My Personal top 10!

1. Tupac- Ma Against the World (What can I say I'm a 2pac stan)
2. Nas- Illmatic or God's Son (Puts me in a gritty New York State of Mind- Nas Stan too)
3. Wutang Clan- 36 Chambers (I love the experimental beats and hard edge)
4. Biggie- Ready to Die (Friend of mine and Respect are my favs)
5. Jay-Z- Reasonable Doubt (A young raw Jay-Z)
6. NWA- Straight outta Compton (fight music no odubt)
7. Dr. Dre- Chronic (G-funk)
8. DMX- It's dark and Hell is hot (too many bangers on it)
9. GZA- Liquid Swords (THE G.O.D.)
10.Common- Like Water for Chocolate(my fav album now)

1) Wu-Tang - 36 Chambers.
2) Raekown - Cuban Linx
3) GZA/Genius - Liquid Swords
4) Ghostface - Ironman

Do I appear biased to Wu-Tang at all?  ???

If you like Tupac, you should look up my friend Frank Butt'uz on Myspace or something. He's really good and is pretty comparable to Tupac.

1  Reasonable Doubt-Jay-Z
2  Illmatic-Nas

5  A Long hot Summer-Masta Ace


Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt is kinda a toss up for me.

Really Sir? Did you just compare Frank Butt'uz to 2PAC? really?

Anywho, Wu-Tang Enter the 36 Chambers is hands down the best album of all time.

im not into the westcoast gangsta rap vibe. although nwa and dre are unbelievable.

however, when bringing up westcoast, u HAVE to bring up the whole bay area scene.  i realize they have an east coast vibe, but they have had some of the top underground rap artists for the last two decades.
