Top 5 best lyrical albums of all time

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

What albums do you think are the best showcase of lyricism ever?
I want yalls most lyrical albums of all time I think I have a good list wanna see yalls I did 5 cause that's short and sweet

Nas it was written
Jayz reasonable doubt
Big pun capital punishment
Outkast aliens
Biggie life after death
Honorable mention eminem either infinity or eminem show
Lupes Tetsuo and youth hope I spelled that right

 

[Slim Charles]

Not sure about a top 5 but always felt It Was Written & Life After Death are the two best albums lyrically from front to back.

Funnily enough still feel Illmatic and Ready to die are better albums. But yeh lyricism peaked on those two albums imo

Lifestyles of da po
Drogas Wave
No dope on Sundays
Vince Staples

Can’t say these are the best but when I want to get barred up I go to one of these

 

[Jerz-2]

Dare Iz A Darkside

It bugged me out when I found out that Redman hates that album....LOVE that damn album.

(*goes to play "Green Island"*)

Him at his absolute peak as well. Brilliant album.

 

[str8up]

don't know my top 5 but black on both sides is a title contender

 

[JQ Legend]

Not sure what the whole 5 are but MMLP is #1 for me

IWW

Capital Punishment would most likely make the top 5 as well

Not sure what would round out the other 2

If we just talking dope ass bars tho Big L Lifestyles Of The Poor And Dangerous is a strong contender

 

[Controversy]

Just checking to see if It Was Written was on here
