(I asked in the Ask the B&B thread if someone had done a list thread already, no response so far, so I may well change this to a random "top 5 list" thread and update it every so often. You know the type, listens to Hov and Big Poppa Works in a nail shop so her fingers stay proper. Honourable mentions, one of whom may displace Jay shortly: Dense and almost impenetrable lyrics that actually reward repeated listens. All time favourite song, and many years later a damn near perfect album. Shine has some verses that only years of rhyming could create. this week, and it's excellent as well, some ingenious tracks, Let my People Go is catchy as hell, and the lyrics and metaphors work beautifully with the psuedo-gospel beat. Welcome to the Terrordome cover is sublime. Ol Dirty Bastard Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version 1995 Elektra Entertainment.
Completely distinctive, very clever, slightly unhinged. Provided to YouTube by Rhino/Elektra Hippa to da Hoppa Pharoahe Monchģ albums in a row that are freakin amazing, with Desire being the peak. Heck, I even like him in the movies he's been in. Gets a mention for The New Danger alone, but he's got an awesome voice, talks a lot of sense, and just generally is one of those artists that you're happy exists.

Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, The Black Album, American Gangster and you could pick the top 12-14 tracks from the double Blueprint 2.0 album and make a cracker.Īt his best, funny, clever, self aware, entertaining as fuck, and knows how to pick a beat. He has 4-5 albums, IMO, that are just fucking great. And there's an album's worth of tracks from the 3-4 albums between that and The Blueprint that are awesome. I can still listen to his first album start to finish and enjoy it. Still trying to decide if Magna Carta (and possibly most of what's come out since Kingdon Come) completely undoes his legacy. Very deliberately picked a shot from his first album. Because the Roots have tried a little bit of everything across their albums, different themes and concept albums etc, BT has had the opportunity to really flex his creative muscle and more than nearly any MC I can think of, he rewards repeated listens of a large chunk of the back catalogue to build a picture of his life and experiences. Has, through YEARS of touring and MCing with a live band, the best translation from studio to live of any MC I've heard. Clever metaphors and such, distinctive flow, instantly recognisable voice. Possibly the Ultimate (Get it?) in longevity. Here's mine, with youtube clips to come later. I'm happy with honourable mentions, and I'd be stoked if those that don't claim an interest in Hip Hop post too, because it's interesting to see what those looking from the outside in find good in a particular genre.
Order (1 to 5) is preferable, but not vital. youtube clips of your fav examples makes the list fun. Reasoning and an explanation makes the thread actually interesting. So: Your all time top 5 MCs (read Rappers if you like). I'm all for loose rules in a list thread, otherwise it's not interesting. I come strong, I make knowledge born, I flip the scriptĪnd rock on from P.M.I love me some Hip Hop, and it's an interesting genre, I reckon, for thinking about top 5s and such, and who has some legs, who's entertaining, who's actually got something to say etc etc. Have your ass doin' some Night Fever shit like John Travolta Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version (25th Anniversary Remaster) (2020). Like a ten and a half foot gettin' in a seven shoe Wu, who? Me gettin' wrecked so I'm through With Ralphie and Richie Cunningham, Joni and Chachi Go out like a Nazi you'll be wishin' your fuckin' ass stayed home and played Yahtzee! Try to do me for a rhyme and I'll change to Hitler
My Main Source is like a friendly game of stickballĪnd as you step up to bat man and I play the riddler Witness the Shaolin slang, that'll crush the shit you bringĪnd watch your ass take a big fall, why?! Ha-ha-ha, HARARRRH then I scared-his ass!Ĭaught him with a strong five deadly venom I stepped up to a jet black kid, started speakin' Spanish!Īsked him how he get so dark, the nigga said suntanama! Roll up on the scene like the Count of Monte Cristo Leave me alone like the son said G or he'll be fatherless! Bring the ammonia, make sure he sniffs the right amountĬompetition to get ass kickin' so tremendous
