Do we agree? My thoughts...

1. Where's Biggie? WTF
2. Common's Like Water For Chocolate is missing
3. About "Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" he says it was the first time America heard a "heterosexual female rapper since Salt n Pepa"...so Queen Latifah, Missy, Left Eye, Brat, Kim, and Foxy are all lesbians??
4. I know I'm gonna take heat but I would have included Digable Planets.
5. No Eminem?

Cheek's Top 25 Hip Hop Albums:

#1 Lauryn Hill/The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill
#2

It's just his fucking opionion like we have ours. Besides, he's a fucking comedian, not a musical journalist. It has no relevance.

And your right, Biggie should be on that list.

Where's the CB4 soundtrack?

Where's the Chronic what Cles of Narnia!!!!!

I think Andy could get signed in real life. Plus he's cute and white. He'd be the first cute White guy rapper who wasn't tryin to be hard and thus could be lighthearted and not hafta get in battles and have beefs with puppets and pop singers.

Is this list in order? Is straight out of compton really his number one pick or is this just a list in no particular order?

I think Biggie got replaced with Scarface's Mr. Scarface Is Back (1991), because peep this...

in order...yep that's his no. 1 pick. i know it sounds really white and ignorant as a hip hop fan but ive never heard that record.

i love chris rock.

You would have to really be into gangsta rap from the 80's

BlackBuddy said:

Not really. Straight Outta Compton is sorta like a pop-rap record by today's standards. Dr. Dre's production still sounds pristine!

BlackBuddy said:

You've gotta really like hearing about how hot girls in biker shorts are.

beastie boys suck.

What?? No CB4 on the list?

ThePunisher said:

Straight out of Locash, a crazy muthafucka named Gusto

Face's stuff is classic. I don't trust people who claim to love hip hop and don't like Scarface. Baduism - DP's always hit ya with a nickel bag, and gets plenty of love in my house.

badujunkie said:[quote]In Rolling Stone:

1. NWA Straight Outta Compton -- Greatest album of all time? I think not. Classic tho it may be, The rest of the stuff on this list shits all over it.
2. Snoop Doggystyle -- The only snoop album anyone really needs to own, and one should be in every household.
3. 2Pac Rap Phenom II -- Fine mix tape, but it's no Me Against The World, baby.
4. Run DMC Raising Hell -- Alright, fine, I'll give you that one.
5. Pharcyde Bizarre Ride II -- CLASSIC.
6. LL Cool J Mama Said Knock Out -- I think this is supposed to read "walking with a panther" ... side note, if I meet one more fucking white person (and i'm white) who says "goin back to cali" is LL's greatest song, I'm a start killin' mufuckers myself! Complete garbage, it isn't even rap.
7. EPMD Unfinished Business -- It's no paid in full, but ok.
8. Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique -- CLASSIC!!!!!111ONEONEELEVEN
9. ATCQ Low End Theory (yeah!) - indeed.
10.De La Soul Buhloone Mindstate -- I would have chosen "...is Dead"
11.D.O.C. No One Can Do It Better -- word.
12.Genius/GZA Liquid Swords -- of course.
13.Eric B and Rakim Follow the Leader -- yep.
14.Ghostface Killah Supreme Clientele -- i ain't heard this one. yet.
15.Geto Boys The Resurrection -- ok, ok, "Yes Yes Yall" is indeed a bomb track, specially with that piano. But nah, I'm a go with "We Can't Be Stopped" or even "Grip it on that other level"
16.Wyclef The Carnival -- No, no no.
17.Ice Cube AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted -- Yep.
18.Scarface Mr. Scarface is Back -- any scarface would have worked, yes.
19.Jay Z Reasonable Doubt -- fuck jay-z, sorry.
20.Nas Stillmatic (Not Illmatic???)
21.OutKast Aquemini (gives credit to Erykah's influence ) ATLiens!! ATLiens!
22.Public Enemy It Takes a Nation... yep.
23.Lauryn Hill Miseducation, um, no. fuck that.
24.DJ Quik Way 2 Fonky. I wouldn't put it on this list, but it's still fun to riff "nameisdjquik. so fuck. the rest." woooord.
25.Dizzee Rascal Boy in Da Corner -- Uh yeh ok. Pass the blunt, Chris. No Really.

I wouldn't put Wyclef or DJ Quik in the top 25 albums list.

Dude, that album is raw biness! i'm shocked that was even on his radar.

smokeverbs said:

He could've put that a couple of notches higher! Jay was coming with it on that album, i would call it his best after The Blueprint.

I think it's actually cool that he doesn't have what you would except on his list. Everybody and their mama of course would have either a Biggie or Tupac album at No. 1. Or Illmatic in the top three.

where's 'Midnite Marauders' & 'Low End Theory' by A Tribe Called Quest? Therefore this list is futile.....

abierman said:

Low End Theory is number 9, yo.

CinisterCee said:

good morning to me.....

abierman said:

It's an alright list, ain't it, abierman?

CinisterCee said:

It's an ok-list.....don't know all of them, but many essentials are present.....Wyclef doesn't belong in it though, he's overrated!

and where is the KRS1?????
