Day 8 - Rap Albums of the Last 15 Years
Top 5: Rap Albums of the Last 15 Years- 2001 - Dr. Dre
- Stankonia - Outkast
- The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem
- Ill Communication - Beastie Boys
- Life After Death - Notorious B.I.G.
The Chronic 2001 has some of my favourite rap tracks of the last 15 years. Still D.R.E. has one of the best riffs in any song. Along with Forgot About Dre, the CD is as cliche as they come, but so damn catchy. It is not as brilliant or influencial as Stankonia, it is just a sentimental favourite.
On the complete opposite spectrum is Stankonia. Bombs Over Baghdad blew my mind when I first heard it. Ms. Jackson and So Fresh, So Clean were also great tracks on that album. Upon second thought, maybe it deserves the #1 spot. The Marshall Mathers LP with Stan and The Real Slim Shady is probably the best album from one of the most popular and influencial rap artists of the last 15 years. Ill Communication: Sabotage is one of the best rap songs of the last 15 years and makes this my album of choice from The Beastie Boys. Hello Nasty is also a solid album, but Sabotage is just too strong of a track. Rounding out the top 5 is Life After Death. Hypnotize and Mo Money Mo Problems are just great tracks.

Who would have thought that Chris would do the top 5 rap albums of the last 15 years before the top 5 britpop albums?
I went to the site and listened to Macho Man rap... Quite possibly the worst music ever made.
"Kriss Kross will make you, Jump, Jump!"
Raps, how did you know that "Be A Man" existed? You own it don't you.
Yea not a bad list. Love Dre more than Outkast, so the Number 1 stands. not a huge Bboys fan, but hey, they're orig. And white. Eminem might be the most influencial of all, but not the best. He still needs Dre to make them flow.
Sorry but I have to tell my personal faves so they can get some love.
1. Liquid Swords/Gza
2. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx/Rae and Ghost
3. The Infamous/Mobb deep
4. Moment of Truth/Gangstarr
5. The Chronic
