Do you agree with the list? If not, what albums would you replace on this list and what are the albums you'd replace them with? The omission of Hard to Earn, Southernplayalistic... and IWW has me scratching my head but i don't know what i'd remove from the list to make room at the moment.

Hey hi this is Jeffy again. I hope you love me like I want to make you move in this boot-boot. I'll be great, trust me!

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

i am so "over" the 90's.
especially 90's pop-rap music.

i think this issue of the source was responsible for the blaze 50 mc list, ego trip book of rap lists, the bulk of complex rag's content and basically every "dog-chasing-tail" retrospective, need-to-canonize-everything "discussion" rap music fans have been having on internet message boards since.

http://www.amazon.com/Book-Rock-Lists-Dave-Marsh/dp/044057580X

>http://www.amazon.com/Book-Rock-Lists-Dave-Marsh/dp/044057580X

you think THIS actually had impact on the average rap fan?
i don't doubt it might have impacted the journalists who crafted many of these rap lists and the ensuing rap list culture that occurred in it's wake but i doubt very highly anybody in the rap world who views rap music through the camera obscura of listing and canonizing everything is drawing their influence from that book.

SPIN and Rolling Stone were forever ranking and listing the "greatest" this and that for many years before that Source issue.

(And the Book Of Rock Lists DEFINITELY had an impact on the authors of
the ego trip book, to the point of having many of the same lists, and
the same idea of a year-by-year ranking of rap records in the back of
the book.)

-----
Get over yourself.

again, as i'm sure you didn't even fully comprehend my replies before writing your own, i'm not implying nor never did i anywhere imply that white rock mags DIDN'T do this before the source.
i was talking about the impact this particular issue of the source had on various other rap media magazines, websites and the overall impact and reach that had in conditioning rap music fans views and the way they viewed the genre in it's wake.

>again, as i'm sure you didn't even fully comprehend my replies
>before writing your own,

Nice try, but I did. You said "i think this issue of the source was
responsible for etc. etc." In the Book of Rap Lists' case, at least,
this isn't true - the Book of Rock Lists was mentioned, and you
missed the poster's point.

>i'm not implying nor never did i
>anywhere imply that white rock mags DIDN'T do this before the
>source.

Well, perhaps you should've mentioned it. It would've made your view of history seem less narrow.

>i was talking about the impact this particular issue of the
>source had on various other rap media magazines, websites and
>the overall impact and reach that had in conditioning rap

If the Source had never done that issue, rap fans would still have
started ranking their favorite this-and-that, just as plenty of other
groups of music fans have after their genre of music passes a certain
age. It is human nature to do this.

-----
Get over yourself.

and if not, why is it a problem for hip-hop?

my post below is sourced from a list I started on a website that is dedicated 100% to user reviews and user lists. There are 27,000 categorized lists on those sites and who know how many uncategorized/privatized lists. Music fans and critics LOVE to list things; I'm sort of surprised this is a big deal.

if i didn't do that nobody else would.

You get angry when people talk about the good ol' days of the 90's, yet feel the need to constantly lament about the 00's?

Without even thinking too hard or using the search function, I can recall three or four threads you started talking about older stuff, and I can also remember you coming down on those who did the same thing (on some uppity "we don't need another thread like this" shit).

Because you think the 00's haven't been canonized the same way? You've anointed yourself the gatekeeper?

there's three things.

#1 lists of any kind of are imo stupid, as in, they cater to a lowest common denominator of reading, intelligence and understanding.
in the 00's "list-culture" became totally out of control.
but imo it's indicative of the grasp and intelligence most people have today...
so ok, while i think listing and ranking is totally frivolous and insulting intellectually - i recognize that the vast majority of people don't see it the same way.

#2 talking about the same fodder every single year is just beyond redundant and borders on mental illness.
i motioned for a forum that relegates everything before the 21st century to it's own sub-forum because i think the constant need to romanticize the 90s/80s/70s/60s whatever is stifling progress.

#3 how much more time needs to go by before 2000/2001/2002 get "canonized" into rap's history?
it's 2012 - and you people are content having the same discussions about 1994 that you had in 2002 on here like the last 10 years of your lives didn't even happen.
so, while i think discussing the source 100 from jan. 1998 is a boring and 10-year passe discussion.
while i think that issue created the constant need for rap fans to concoct top X lists for every trite subject they could conjure up.
i still think the task of crafting an in-depth list canonizing the periods of 2000 or 2001 is a necessary evil.
i can tell you - if you're waiting for modern "rap authorities" like passion of the weiss, complex rag or tom breihan or other unqualified rap profiteers to do a write-up on 2000/2001 that is as thorough as mine - don't hold your breath.

hopefully this clarifies my rationale.

Get off your high horse buddy.

>Get off your high horse buddy.

you certainly would never see me perpetuating something i'm CONSCIOUSLY opposed to. so yes, "you people" as in whoever that applies to but i certainly am not one of you.

I'd keep 25, drop 31, and I'm unsure about 43 (scanning, I see about 11 that would possibly jump the cut)


this is all out of my own interest and waiting for football boredom, don't mind me. just comparing to where they're at in my big book...really useful personally, thanks for the post. I've been thinking about how many foundation albums, even ones I've listened to a bunch as a kid and in high school, that just got phased out of rotation once I started the book and keeping track of almost entirely new releases. Always hated how lopsided the list is towards 2009-2011, this'll be a good guide for going back to the/my roots and fleshing things out a little better.

and his legend hadn't been able to overcome that in '98.

Now they'd be putting Are You Still Down? in there likely.

by ANY measure...ANY measure...

AEOM
MATW
^^^^ CLASSICS!

and a good argument could be made for the don killuminati album

you want hits? they had em
impact? got it.
superstar rapper? got it.
production? got it.

etc

your argument holds zero weight similar to how you do when you try to bench press the bar @ the gym

but you also gotta understand this list was compiled in 1997
now if you ask me Mak is 1oo times the album AEOM is so I'm not mad at it not being on the list

from Pac fans AND hip hop fans alike.

For me, itd be MATW, Makeveli, Strictly...

it wasn't until a couple years ago that I started not only appreciating his other albums but having an urge to listen to them as well. I knew the singles obviously but as far as albums I only really listened to Strictly.

I end up removing a lot of late 80's stuff that I didn't personally bang.

>Do you agree with the list? If not, what albums would you

>them with? The omission of Hard to Earn,

I'd cut these:


>� Big Daddy Kane- It's a Big Daddy Thing

Has some of Kane's best stuff on it, but man does side two drag at times. "To Be Your Man" is one of the worst songs ever.

>� Black Moon- Enta Da Stage

Yeah, blasphemy, I know. But the lyrics sound pretty elementary now. Young and hyped Buckshot<<<<<<<<Buckshot on the "I Got Cha Opin" and "Buck 'Em Down" remixes. "Who Got the Props" and "How Many MCs" are still dope though...

>� Bone Thugs-N-Harmony- Creepin' On Ah Come Up (EP)

I feel weird including EPs. Besides, the E. 1999 album was better, and even that probably shouldn't be included. This was probably put on the last to fill a regional quota.

>� Doug E. Fresh- World's Greatest Entertainer

Some really great tracks, but enough lackluster ones to prevent it from making the list.

>� Gang Starr- Daily Operation

Yeah, I'm the asshole who doesn't feel that "Daily Operation" is a classic. Never have. It's my lot in life. Regardless, "Hard to Earn" was better. That should have made the list.

>Heavy D - Livin Large

"Peaceful Journey" was better and could've possibly made the list.

>� Ice T- Original Gangster

"Power" was better and should've made the list.

>� MC Shan- Down By Law

Never been a fan of dude.

>� Nice & Smooth- Nice & Smooth

"Ain't a Damn Thing Changed" was better and should have made the list.

>� Notorious B.I.G.- Life After Death

Never been a fan of this album. Like it more now than I did then, but I still think it was bloated as a double album.

>� Salt N Pepa- Hot, Cool and Viscious

Haven't heard this album in years, and I hear it's actually good. But nah man, I've never really liked them.

>� Spice 1- Spice 1

"187 He Wrote" was better. Dunno if I would've put that on the list.

>� Tupac- Me Against The World

Never understood the love for this album. Both his first two were better. I could seen either of those on the list.

I know this'll sound oh so convenient, but I was listening to this earlier today lol. Still classic to me. It'll be interesting if I'll ever budge on this since this album gets the "dated" tag a lot from people with otherwise similar taste in early/mid-90's hip-hop as me.

I'd have albums 2 thru 4 on there.

Sometimes I feel self conscious saying this is my favorite Pac album since people like me always seem to tab this as his best/closest to classic album lol, but I'm still sticking with it.
