What do you think is the most underrated album in hip-hop history?

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

I don't know how any rational fan of the genre can comfortably name 10 better albums than this one. now before you attack me saying how can this album be underrated, bear with me. i'm talking about those albums that you think pound-for-pound stack up against anything else in history. Mos combined the political fury of the greats that came before him in the 80s with the skill of Nas. The effortless technical skill with intelligent pen game and tasteful production has been largely unmatched since imo. Common doesn't count since he's obviously Mos and Talib's peer. Guys like Lupe and Kendrick are legendary, but idk.. they don't quite hit that sweet spot when complex multi schemes meet godly flow. There's maybe 1-3 guys in hip-hop history than can pen a song like Mathematics.

I'm interested to see what everyone's choices are, as we all have those albums that we vehemently defend

It's in my avatar. Closed Caption - Greens. Here's a taste:

 

[CHERUB]

one of them Tupac shyts...

 

[I love Latina women]

Might be Yasiin Bey's (Mos Def's) The Ecstatic

 

[Trilogy]

Tha Doggfather by Snoop Doggy Dogg

 

[Methodical]

One of the greatest creative concept rap album of all time cause that album is a fukking movie

 

[Shadow King]

I agree with the OP. Now I think there might be 10 albums better (or maybe not), but Black Star does not get the props it deserves IMO. there's no skips on that one.

Yea this might be it. Slept on my pretty much everyone. shyt a top 10 album of 2000s

 

[TripleAgent]

All We Got Iz Us by Onyx. Five times better than Bacdafucup (which is still very dope), but sold a quarter because they didn't want to make "Slam" over and over.

 

[Alexander The Great]

Goodie Mobb - Still Standing

 

[tuckgod]

Blowout Comb

Illadelph Halflife

 

[torcher]

Illadelph Halflife

 

[Kogami]

BG Knocc Out & Dresta - Real Brothas

 

[Turbulent]

I would say Wyclef The Carnival even though it gets props
