Raekwon tells his top 10 albums of all time

[spliz]

Now he gotta have a Nas album to keep you nikkas satisfied

No. He doesnt. But like I said before: it was weird not to see it based on his praise for it over the last 30 years. shyt he even had it over RTD back when they both dropped. But I don’t have a prob wit his list at all.

 

[livindajetlife]

Hard ass list mane

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

Rae's list over the years changed because I believe he had Mobb Deep's Hell on Earth and Mary J's What's the 411? in his old top 10.

Not a bad list but I'm a little surprised at the Keith Sweat album

 

[WaveMolecules]

I respect his list but im surprised illmatic isn't there.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

fukk outta here. It was strange not to see it based of HIS actions and praise for it over the last 30 years. It’s not about him not being on a list. It’s a dope list regardless.

Hit dogs holler.

I'm sure he's praised many albums over the last 30 years that aren't on that list, and yet, of course, there's something strange all because Nas ain't on it. You ask him again what his favorite albums are in a year's time, and I'm sure it'll be different. And a year from then, it'll be different again. I'm sure there'll be one year where you ask him and Nas will be on it, and y'all stans can all collectively jump for joy with your smart-dumbass selves.

That Keith Sweat albums is one of my favorites too. Album had only 8 songs and 6 of them were singles. Classic shyt

I’m dying how he got Ready to Die on there instead of Illmatic when him and Ghost dissed Big saying he was biting off Nas album cover

Probably because the older he got the more he realized he was just hating on some competitive crabs in a barrel bs like a lot of nikkas in the 90’s lol

[Majestyx]

And he doesn't list anything after 2000

no reason to do that.

 

[I Really Mean It]

How the fukk does someone have a top 10 list without The Infamous?

 

[BmoreGorilla]

How the fukk does someone have a top 10 list without The Infamous?

It wasn’t like he had only hip hop albums. You saying the Infamous should be on there instead of Thriller or My Life?

 

[Darth Nubian]

Would have switched out My Life for Illmatic or The Chronic, but other than that a very solid list.

 

[Canada Goose]

Top 10 east coast albums of all time

1. Biggie ready to die

2. Life after death

3. Wu-tang forever

4. Jay cant knock the hustle

5. Camron-come home with me

6. 50 cent the massacre

7. Illmatic

8. Stillmatic

9. Dmx it's dark, an hell is hot

10. Jay z hardknock life

You hold The Massacre is high regard!?! So do I! Many think that's when 50 started to fall off but its my favorite album from him.


For #4 that album is called "Reasonable Doubt"

 

[I Really Mean It]

It wasn’t like he had only hip hop albums. You saying the Infamous should be on there instead of Thriller or My Life?

Despite being a great album, My Life isn’t in the same universe as Thriller. I just think The Infamous is as iconic and seminal an album as any rap effort from the golden era. It birthed east coast street rap the same way Straight Outta Compton did west coast gangster rap.
