He should clarify what he considers an LA artist. We had these same questions on the NY list, they were putting mf's from Boston and Buffalo and shyt on there but not nikkas from Newark right up the street...
To this point though, I'm skeptical of whether we'll get a Pac album on here. There were people clamoring for him on the NY list too, but while we all knew he was from there, he wasn't a NY artist at all. He's a California artist, the question is, does he qualify as an LA artist? I'd make the argument that he was already an "LA" artist by the time Strictly 4 My nikkaz dropped, he was definitely transitioning by that time. But it's clear they don't consider him LA from that point on because that album should be on here already and it isn't. And he's not gonna have 4 albums in the Top 10...
I'd say he should be considered an LA artist and as such they've shorted him big time on this list. I'm not even a Stan, he doesn't deserve four Top 10s but the fact we've made it to 11 and he hasn't had a single album placement means they've shorted Pac...
Dre's 2001 is a chronically overrated album, if its Top 10 it should be no higher than 8. That albu, could easily be argued as closer to 20...
Dot gonna deserve his placements and you can argue the ones theyve listed for him already are too low. Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest rappers of all time. To Pimp A Butterfly can be argued as THE best album ever, with nikkas from any region...
Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper from LA ever, only mf's had a run like him would be Cube and Pac. And if you disqualify Pac it's only Cube! Which is a legit debate, I don't like how they've shorted Cube on this list----->AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted is a GOAT5 LA album and one of the greatest rap drops period...
By the way, Victory Lap ain't no RIP stimulus. It's 100% deserving of being a GOAT10 LA album and if you made a list of, say, 500 greatest rap drops ever, as of today and people from wherever. It's on there. 50 years of hip hop, there aren't 500 better drops than Victory Lap and it should be WELL within a Top 500...
They ov3rrated the fukk outta Game and Snoop on here though...
It's in contention with To Pimp A Butterfly. Honestly Me Against The World and AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Straight Outta Compton too, those are, realistically, the GOAT5 Los Angeles records...
Bro delete this post
DOC was an LA artist the same way Xzibit was and somehow X got two placements on here...
Having the most entries is definitely skeptical, but he's a GOAT LA nikka. I'm glad they giving him his flowers...
The guy making this list can't be black. Black Angelenos are gonna disagree big time with the ordering of this list...
@10bandz @getmoney310cpt @OlāOtis @Boonapalist and I'm losing track of other Black Angelenos on here. Is the guy who made this list black? Because the ordering feels like,"LA hiphop according to non black Angelenos"...
My question is, at what point was Pac making "LA" albums? IMO it wasn't until AEOM when he hit DR. They could retroactively name MATW an "LA" album but I don't think Pac was claiming LA til he hit DR.
