There is NO hip hop album from the 80s I can listen to in full

[Dixon Cider]

so you can't listen to this whole album?

Do I need to attempt?

 

[AMcV'88]

obviously you ain't never listen to Chill Rob G's joint b.

 

[CASHAPP]

I completely agree man, I thought it was just me. In fact, music in general from the mid to late 80s is downright fukkin unlistenable to me.


Early 80s music though.

even patrice rushen and jody watley breh?

 

[Terrance Curtis Beasley]

best Beasties albums

 

[I love Latina women]

Do I need to attempt?

[stealthbomber]

it's a different feel from later albums, they're not as structured, but still enjoyable

To play nat front 2 binnack

 

[MouseTeeth]

This came out in 92

 

[Mike the Executioner]

1988 was a beautiful year, honestly.

Of course, almost every album has one or two wack tracks but for a lot of those 80s albums, at least 3-5 songs are certified classics.

 

[DMGAINGREEN]

I can listen to The Adventures Of Slick Rick in full , probably one of the most cohesive albums of the 80s

 

[I love Latina women]

To play nat front 2 binnack

it's a classic album, 1 of the greatest albums of any genre. period

honestly, i think it's not only the greatest 80's hip hop album but the greatest hip hop album of all time

[ExodusNirvana]

Paid in Full? Licensed to Ill?

 

[mobbinfms]

Not one. Front to back. Can't do it.

The great albums that we all talk about (e.g. Criminal Minded, Great Adventures, Paid in Full, Straight Outta Compton, etc) all have 1, 2 or 3 blindly brilliant songs where EVERYTHING comes together: perfect beat, perfect flow and perfect rhymes. You've probably heard those songs already because everyone shared them and duped the shyt out of them.

But for the most part, there's stuff that feels straight up dated, out of place and/or 'filler'. Not always in a bad way. The turntablism on Paid in Full is OK at times. The innocent jokey songs like "Super Hoe" on a hardcore album.

This is a big reason why 90s rappers are so revered. They became ALBUM rappers as opposed to vinyl rappers.

Agree/disagree? And is there an 80s album you can play in full or close to full?

Negged.
