"Who has the greatest four album run in rap?"


  

          

Four albums consecutively released.

It'd have to come down to Cube and Gang Starr. Can't think of anyone else that really comes close.

Kanye would have had a shot if it were not for 808's.

Either bookend is a drop off IMO. Not saying its trash but its definitely not the same level of quality as the 3 in between.

That's about as flawless a 4 album run as it gets. You could arguably stretch it to 5 and EPMD should still be in there.

So don't get carried away fam. Yes it's good but so is Stankonia. Stankonia suffered from being a bit bloated.

Lots of people will say Fear of A Black Planet or It Takes A Nation of Millions but that's wrong. Just like lots of people say Outkast is the best hip hop group when in reality they like 9th or 10th

Content wise, yeah, Chuck was on his A game but the production faltered IMO and it continued to falter on the following album even though it's not as bad as people initially said it was.

In response to Reply # 69


  

          

That was the first album where they hit the bullseye. The first three had powerful moments but, there was way too many filler tracks causing them albums to be kinda unenjoyable on complete listens. You ain't hearing me tho.

However...let's be honest about how The Roots and Kast albums stack up

Southern > DYWM
ATLiens > Illadelph
Aquemini = TFA (and I'm giving you one here)
Stankonia > Phrenology

rap still hasn't caught up to stankonia.

and aquemini is the greatest rap album of all-time.

"Illmatic" and "It Was Written" are straight up classics. "I Am", while not great is GROSSLY underrated. The 4th LP which shall not be named is trash, but whatever.

The question posed was "best 4 album run in rap".

You say ....

>The 4th LP which
>shall not be named is trash, but whatever.

......how exactly does one qualify for the best 4 album run in rap if their 4th album is trash?

In other words, that's not a controversial choice. It's not a choice at all.

In response to Reply # 32


          

De La- I don't like Stakes is High at all

Tribe- I don't love People's Instinctive Travels and the Love Movement sucks

Kast- I don't love Southernplayalistic (I recognize that this is MY problem), and Stankonia ian's great

It stands to reason, that if I believe Nas has the GOAT hip' hop album, another classic, a very good album and a stinker, that would rank just as high as those other 4 album runs.

The above statement is fine. What's not fine is trying to submit a good 3 album run under a post asking for "best 4 album run". Nas does not qualify.

RUN DMC
King of Rock
Raising Hell
Tougher Than Leather

(Yes, #4 is not in the same ballpark as the others, but still has some strong songs.)

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

People are saying DOOM without listing. Black Bastards-Op DD-VV-Madvillainy? If that chronology is correct it's a good contender.

I'd say Gangstarr with SitA,DO,HtE, MoT. Add Ownerz and they have the 5 album run locked up without any good competition.

Southernplayalistic and love below/speakerboxxx are not on the level of the other 3.

A lot of acts have 3 in a row, very few have 4.

Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik is a classic.

EPMD's first four/five run is pretty much unmatched. All of them are classics (except Back in Business)and Strictly Business was pretty much the prototype for the West coast's funk driven sound.

Honestly, I hold EPMD in a higher regard than Run DMC as far as hip hop duos are concerned.

de la come close. the roots, definitely. i think ghostface is up there but people seem to hate the pretty toney album. kanye's up there. drake too if you count so far gone. ugk would be in the conversation if dirty money never existed and that double album was the fourth album in their discography. mf doom if you count the aliases. i don't know if any other rappers even had a four album run tbh. can't wait for someone to come in here and defend beats, rhymes & life.

David Bammer?

and OP said best 4 album run, no mention that they all had to be classics. So one of the four could be good

And surprisingly I'm with John Forte in that law of averges idea concerning Nas

And who let in the fucn weirdos sayin Southernplayalisitc is anything but GREAT. fuck outta here. Where do they make yall. The Stankonia critiques are valid though.

And stop being afriad to claim BR&L, album is that goodness.

My picks:
Kast (SPCM to Stank)
El-P (any combo of Funcrusher, FanDam, Cold Vein, ISWYD, RAP Music or RTJ)
DOOM (OD to Mm Food; take your pick)
KRs (Criminal Minded to I Got Next; again take your pick)
Tribe (PITATPoR to BRL)
Common (Res to EC)
Gangstarr (DO to MoT)
Ghost (SC to Pretty Tone)
The Roots(Organix to TFA)
Cube (Amerikkka to LI)

3 arguable classics in Radio, Bigger and Deffer, and Mama Said Knock You Out...... And while Walking With a Panther had a few horrible songs that taint it, it was like 3/4 dope and had some of his best songs where he was really rapping his ass off.

also some thing some of you much OLDER heads don't understand is that some folk don't hold those first two De La albums in that high of esteem. While I may may respect their historical context, I'm def throwing on hella other albums before those two

greatness isn't determined by personal taste
just like anyone can like a bad album, you can not like a great album an there's nothing wrong with it
doesn't mean it isn't great

when you speak about Kanye

but beyond the snark, I absolutely feel you. Thing is with De La the one's I love Stakes, Balloon, or Grind Date aren't in the same league in terms of importance / influence as the first two

but I think both you and I know De La has one of the strongest cases in this thread

sorry if I wasn't clear
actually I'd say Kaney has one great album (LR) but the rest of his work is too spotty and streaky to be great as a whole

i agree it's spotty and streaky as well, even the couple I think are great Graduation and MBDTF. For me Ye's discog is like this
CD: 2.75/5
LR: 3/5
Graduation: 4.5/5
808s: 4/5 (yup, I'm one of those)
MBDTF: 4.25/5
Yeezus: 2.75/5

it hasn't aged well, I agree
which is even more driven home when we look at the fact that it's only ten years old
