Meccapolis Top 100 NY Hip Hop Albums List (Full List In OP)

[Awesome Wells]

No Beatnuts Street Level on the list is some bullshyt.

Easily one of the best albums of '94.

Straight NY classic! Nowhere to be found on this list. Madness.

Slots 10 to 4

Finally someone putting paid in full where it deserves to be

You are an oldhead you said you was there when a 1992 album dropped. That makes you an oldhead

And everybody who is in the Meccapolis team is 30 and older. You’re making assumptions

This is a Ny Hip Hop list. Not a general Hip Hop list. You named 4 producers who are not from NYC. What they was influenced by is irrelevant to the list

You’re basically overreacting that’s all. Because at the end of the day if the list was extended to 150 it’d be on there

The albums you call mid are classics to other NYC’ers. Your opinion is your opinion only. And it’s valid but this thing yall do when yall overreact as if I got an A Boogie album over a Nas album is corny. You’ll be ok

Late 30's is an "old head" now? LOL!!

Like I said, the internet is a wild place. And no, Meccapolis had young interns working for free for merch and sh*t like that. One minute you speak on impact, then the next you talk about who's not from a place. Impact isn't limited to a city. If people outside of the area where something dropped are speaking to how influential something was for them, wouldn't that speak to how impactful the sh*t was if it reached well beyond where it originated?

If Dilla is in Detroit, Ye is in Chicago and Pharrell is in VA, and they're citing a NY classic as what influenced them, that CLEARLY speaks to how impactful it was! It wasn't just a NY thing. Everybody knows SBHH is one of the best ever, bro. That's not up for debate.

I had a "chalked" ID if u not what that is, but hating ass bouncers got hip 2 that....then we got plugged in with "Real" IDs after that

Yea I was in a lot of spots early cause of my siblings....but they never gave me a tunnel pass.


shyt sounded dope but I wonder if the stories over-rated it....either way I got to experience the last tru club era so I cant complain.

The stories are accurate, lol.

You'd see the hottest chicks in the city there. You could hear what the dope songs of the time were gonna be ahead of them blowing up. But you could also get robbed or stomped out if you were corny or a herb. So it was all of the best parts of Hip Hop happening in there. LOL!! I was a teenager sliding in there with the OG's and my older brother, but it was epic!

 

[maxamusa]

How we feel about Blackout not being on here.....or do I over-rate that album? I stole that album from 2 different binders

 

[ISO]

its his next best album after come home with me

I like SDE more

And Cam already got CHWM and DI on there 3 of his works is overkill and his solo albums aren’t that good regardless there’s going to be stronger albums omitted just because it’s Cam

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Diamond D (or his debut album for that matter) did not actually impact anything. If he never existed Hip Hop generally would be the same. And that is not a shot to him

This statement right here explains a lot of this list.

Sheesh

You cannot be serious.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. The man that made the list is a 33 year old. Which means you’re 6 years older than him at best. Stop making assumptions

SDE is under-rated.


My hood is one of my favorite songs ever.

Losing weight


but I didn't hear that until after dips already blew up.....just don't have the nostalgic factor for me.

we all were bumping purple haze when it dropped everyone had it

I would have it on there toward the back end. Minor classic and it hold up nicely.

Seem like Redman is DQ'd from the list for being from Jersey though, so maybe that's why

A young Maxamusa use to rush to the floor as soon as da rock wilder dropped....by the time you heard "OH MY GOD" I had a bogey or L lit getting rdy 2 wine on a bad lil ting or start some shyt

Yeah I don't get it neither. Diamond D is one of the best rappers who made their own beats. Same with Beatnuts being one of the best rapper/producer combos. EPMD only getting one album nod in top 100. This guy has something against rappers making their own beats lol.

Diamond D's Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop is better than quite a few selections from that top 100.

This should be up there tho

The same way a 19-22 year old wouldn’t be able to gauge the impact of a Diamond D album is the same way a middle aged man wouldn’t understand the impact of this project and Highbridge Vol. 1 those tapes got madddd play for what seemed like a couple years locally

I can’t believe it’s been so long but you can throw on DTB in any function in NYC with 90’s and 00’s babies and they’ll sing that shyt word for word

That Don Q and A boogie freestyle still the most viewed Flex put up on YouTube. shyt was an era it’s a reason A boogie got a lifetime achievement award at Yankee Stadium at the hip hop 50th anniversary concert.
