Your Top 10 Albums Of 1999

[mobbinfms]

It’s interesting to see how people had completely different experiences with hip hop in 99. My list has around 2-3 albums from @Wacky D List. And he’s written dismissively of albums I loved from 99. Meanwhile I haven’t even heard half his list.

 

[mitter]

In no order:

I Am
Black on Both Sides
Murda Muzik
Soundbombing II
Beneath the Surface
The Art of Storytelling
Things Fall Apart
Dr. Dre 2001
Internal Affairs
Musical Massacre

 

[Wacky D]

True, while i respect them as rappers some legends music I don’t enjoy.

yea.

its like some people on here have a checklist that they feel like they have to follow.

and then they get mad if others don't waste their picks doing the same bullchit.

 

[Big Mel]

My honorable mentions would be:

Ball & G - In Our Lifetime
Slim Shady
The Art of Storytelling
Uncontrolled Substance
Blackout!
N Word Please


I really wasn't crazy about Wu's output that year. Gza I liked immediately but the rest were either colossal letdowns or took time to grow on me.

 

[Wacky D]

Guerilla Warfare
Chopper City In The Ghetto
Block Is Hot
Da Crime Family
G-Code
Bossalinie
Made Man
Let There Be Eve
Ryde or Die Vo.1
Slim Shady LP

solely solely solely based off what I actually listened to in real time and what i actually revisit til this day

wait wait wait

wheres the "return to the sword" album by jeepers creepers??

how dare you leave that off your list??

 

[Wacky D]

Also if "Black on both sides" is not on your list, that sh*t is invalid! Soundtrack of most of our lives

nah. this was the era where the underground/backpack scene became corny.

and this album had mostly wack hooks & beats.
combined with a bunch of songs that were either pretentious or str8 up rippity-rap, accompanied by a voice that irritates you after a while.

I especially hated when that class of backpack rappers would try to show how hip-hop they are by rehashing hooks from classic old school rap songs, despite the fact that they didn't have the sauce, energy or presence in their repertoire to pull it off.

very disappointing album on the heels of black starr.
I could never get into mos def or kweli as solo artists.
