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

[NormanConnors]

So on your list of 100 albums, what's your bottom 17?

It definitely wouldn't have no Camron SDE ahead of By All Means Necessary

And thats just one example from this bullshyt

 

[NormanConnors]

nobody said that shyt was mid when it dropped tho stop playing

I said it was back then, and I wasn't the only one.

 

[It's_Nade]

A lot of these i would put top 30-40 with a few modern picks sprinkled in

 

[JustCKing]

A lot of the albums ya'll are talking about are too low aren't even discussed on here like that. Are ya'll still bumping Critical Beatdown like that?

 

[Figaro]

By All Means Necessary is 1 of the most important albums of the 80s.

Birthed KRS’s teacher style.

Took a complete different approach to Criminal Minded & pushed social issues at the time like It Takes a Nation to Hold us Back.

You really need to add some context to your posts with some rationale behind the choices.

I get everything is subjective but that Jada album was weak and I can't understand how it should be seen as being more important than True Meaning, By All Means Necessary or Critical Beatdown.

 

[Artfull Dodger]

That Jada album has no place in any top 100

Listing is shaping up well. Sure theres some classics that feel low (Criticial Beatdown, By Any Means Necessary) but that list is looking straight

 

[prophecypro]

I know Jada takes shyt for not having a classic but I also dont think you can have a top 100 NY albums without him

 

[DraymondT]

Is it just 1 album per rapper/group?

 

[Don Jesus]

82 - 74

No. Certain rappers will have 3 or 4 albums on the list

That’s why we included that album. It’s not particularly a classic album but we put it there for “We Gon Make It” and a couple of other statement songs on there.

Nah It’s a list. The context is going to be in our individual posts on specific albums. A lot of the albums yall claim should be higher are albums that a lot of people in general are not going back to listen to as much. The list was very hard to make. By Any Means Necessary should have been a bit higher I agree

They’re not they’re just talking. Nevertheless it’s on the list because it *had* to get mentioned
