1. ATLiens
2. Aquemini
3. Low End
4. Midnight
5. SouthernPlayalistic
6. Stank
7. BR&L*

*I haven't heard BR&L in a few years, so i would need to re-listen to it to rank it anywhere else. I would've given it like 3.5/5

And I've heard most of People's Instinctive Travels, I haven't heard it in its entirety all at once, so I didn't want to rank it.

ATLines and Aquemini are two of my fav records ever. I have personal attachment to both of those albums as well as Low End (which is easily my fav tribe record). I know a lot of people prefer MM, but I have more personal feelings towards Low End.
2670782, LIST the albums from 1-8

2670793, I wonder why people had so much trouble understanding what 1-8 meant?
Posted by Oak27, Wed Mar-07-12 12:12 PM
who scores albums on a 1-8 scale? lol

Anyways, I'm 24 and....


Aquemini
Midnight Marauders
ATLiens
The Low End Theory
Stankonia
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
People's Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythm
Beats, Rhymes & Life

The top 3 could interchange frequently. They are all 5/5 (or should I say 8/8 lol) for me.


EDIT: Nevermind, I can understand the confusion since the thread says RATE the albums not RANK them.

i thought it was weird, but people do 4 stars, 5 stars, 10.0, 100 scale, why not 1-8? personally, i'm not a big fan of numeric ratings, but i oblige

2670824, why these two artists?

Well I think Kast and Tribe are pretty comparable despite making very different music.

Both had great 4 album runs...even though you're set on being different in regards to Midnight.

I really was just going to do Low End and Midnight vs ATLiens and Aquemini but i figured I would still get that info by doing this.
