Whats is Your Current Ranking of Roc Marciano Discog? & What You Consider His "Magnum Opus"? 💿

[Whips-n-Chains]

Marcberg is the OG and I have it at #2, but I can't help but feel like Reloaded is him perfecting the craft of what he did on Marcberg. Marcberg is a little more straight boom bap in more places, and Roc's voice and flow are a little bit rougher as well. Marcberg sounds a little more like a 90's throwback album to me on production as well. Sometimes that's what I'm in the mood to here, but Reloaded is where he really got deeper into the experimental production bag, and he smoothed his voice and flow out a little bit more on there.

I'll say this too. I always wondered if Panic had any influence on Numbers on the Board

100% agree with what you said, and to the bolded, it's at the point where just about any east coast rapper post 2009 has been influenced by Roc's sound (Roc by way of RZA/WU, really). Roc spawned the whole Griselda and all the other adjacent boom bap underground artists.

King of the Underground frfr

Still didn’t hear the new one, smfh. Heard all the others…I don’t mean this in a bad way in the least, he has a lane/style, but is it fair to say that if you’ve heard one Roc album you’ve heard them all? Asking genuinely.

Shhit may have been executed more effectively here than there, but for the most part you know exactly what you’re getting with a Roc album every time, imho. It’s like going to see Shaq, lol, one night he isn’t giving you 5 threes, he’s giving you 10-14 dunks/baby little hooks every game for 82 games and the playoffs, type shhit

It gets hard to rank them after my top or 6, so I'll just throw those out.

- Reloaded
- Marcberg
- Elephant Man's Bones
- Behold a Dark Horse
- Marcielago
- Rosebudd's Revenge 2

Dark Horse and Elephant Man might switch positions on any given day

Props. The way you just wrote that I can tell you're a "thinking" hip hop fan. As many are in this thread.

I'm curious what year did you first discover hip hop?

Everyone else here what year and how old were you guys when you first heard hip hop?

I'd like to know. I feel Roc Marciano brings out the best people in the culture.

First heard is almost impossible for me to pinpoint, as I was around the genre as a young child from older kids in my neighborhood, older relatives, etc.

My first memory of hip hop would be the theme song to cops, low key I was probably like 4

I do remember the big songs of the early 90s "Can't Touch This" for example and Naugthy's "OPP", and then I remember The Chronic and Doggystyle being HUGE in 92/93. My cousins used to make me mix tapes around that era and I started buying CDs shortly after as a youngin.

Nice.

Ghostbusters 2 soundtrack was my first introduction. It had Doug E Fresh's Spirit joint.

1992 Dre was when I realized the production value just upped in standard.

If i had to choose between only marcberg and reloaded im going to choose reloaded. Also i think that that album pushed the whole underground hip hop Renaissance to an extent.

 

[papa pimp]

Reloaded then The Bitter Dose then Marcberg would sit on the top shelf of his catalog
