Apple Music Top 100 Best Albums Of All Time

[derro13]

MBDTF and TPAB are the ONLY hip hop albums of the past 20 years that really transcend hip hop, and you can have the argument they're both top 10 all time....it's crazy having mbdtf at only 26



Seems like its 1 album/artist, which makes for a weird list.

Exited out of that bullshyt when I saw Travis Scott

Thats like the second album down the list and i stopped lol

Solange album is indeed better, musically.

Is this the album where she totally ripped off Tweet's Southern Hummingbird album with shyt like Crane in the Sky??

and since we here, Solange Albums aint touching Tweet's Southern Hummingbird in no way, shape or form

If you want an accurate top 20 list all time, based on users ratings (and not critics, but in this case you get the exact same ranking):

2. Ok Computer

5. Madvillainy

Tpab is most definitely one of the very best albums in music history, regardless of the genre. I dare you find another album with such a flawless musical composition. It might not be your taste, but the album is undeniable from a pure quality angle. There isn't a single flaw in the musical composition and its execution

shyt even influenced the likes of Prince, David Bowie and Herbie Hancock

Not only does it make white people feel bad for whatever reason but anyone with ears could tell you that the execution in the songwriting and every single producer put their whole ass into this project, and only MBDTF on a commercial level is this grandiose and perfection from a production POV. One day people will stop dismissing it, even if its not everyones cup of tea.

I've also seen more and more SIng About Me I'm Dying of Thirst being one of the greatest tracks of all time as well, and I can't say it's not worth consideration. It's a fine wine.

How is it not better? lets put commercial success aside, how is that album not better based on techniques, writting, vocals, songwriting, melodies, composition?

I never knew this, just got finish researching it. That is pretty cool. Heard some of David Bowie Blackstar album and it definitely sounds influenced.

Oh absolutely, music lovers, experts, goat musicians all ride with tpab as one of the very best albums ever made, that shyt is in the hall of fame from a musical angle.

The fact you put your fingers to a keyboard to ask this shyt is insane

Garbage list.

Oh ya you can hear it, and most importantly, bowie producers literally talked about how it influenced the album

Kendrick Lamar's Music Helped Inspire David Bowie's New Album 'Blackstar'

The legendary musician is apparently a 'To Pimp A Butterfly' fan

I'll have to do some research but I remember a GQ interview with one of bowie producer explaining how TPAB influenced the whole production of Bowie album

Herbie Hancock as well, he claimed he tried to make "TPAB part 2", even worked with the musicians, artists and producers listed on TPAB to recapture the sound kendrick went with.

Tpab's influence was huge, had a massive impact on LA's jazz as well

It is definitely in my top 10 tracks of all time and I have listened to music across all genres.

Daft Punk higher than Ziggy Stardust

I can get with TPAB being ranked high on these lists, but will never understand the overrating of MBDTF.
