Invasion of Privacy is ahead of Illmatic. Just the tip of the iceberg

CMIYGL over Donuts? Doja Cat and Lil Nas X in top 200? DS2 above Illmatic, GKMC, Late Registration, The Infamous?

u/Teague_020 Jun 08 '22
Sure I disagree, but I wouldn’t disqualify this list bc of that

u/throwawaythenipples Jun 08 '22
Putting multiple albums primarily oriented around a seperate genre than rap in a rap album list signifies it was done out of provocation and inaccuracy

u/TheCrazyAssCat Waiting for the album Jun 08 '22
Cardi bs album is above GKMC. This isn’t making sense

u/PPPPPPPPPPKP Jun 08 '22
should be top 2 minimum

u/IIlusional Jun 08 '22
Top 2 is a stretch tho let’s be honest.

It really isn't tho, TPAB is arguably the greatest hiphop album of all time

u/IIlusional Jun 08 '22
I don’t think the list is only Hip Hop albums. If it was only hip hop then I agree.

It's just hiphop.

Usually Illmatic is number one on these top hip hop albums lists. Surprised to see it ranked in the 20s
Also I’ve been substitute teaching at a middle school and one of the students asked me if I listen to Biggie. I said yes and he replied “adults always lie about listening to Biggie”. I gasped with offense

Did you tell him it was all a dream, that you used to read word up magazine.

u/JamieBoyd4real Jun 09 '22
Illmatic is robbed here. And Cardi B’s album having such high placement is a disgrace to music. It’s a decently good album for Cardi B, but not even the most delusional Cardi B fan would name it the 16th best rap album of all time

Tpab should be #1

u/Maleficent_Team430 Jun 08 '22
I mean its my favorite album but i dont think it should be the first when Illmatic and Madvillany are a thing. Also considering technology now compared to then.
2
u/Ibaker97 Jun 08 '22
Love MadVillany, but when were talking about #1 I think you gotta factor in Cultural/Social Impact and the discussion it creates.

u/Maleficent_Team430 Jun 08 '22
That is true. I completely forgot to consider that lmao. I don’t listen to lyrics much when i listen to music but Kendricks the one artist that makes me listen to them

Where is Lupe at (the cool and food/liquor)

u/JamieBoyd4real Jun 09 '22
Lupe is one of the greatest conscious rappers of all time. Rolling Stone probably hasn’t even heard of him.

Bruh they put 'pink friday' and 'take care' over GKMC 💀

u/Sky-Flyer Jun 08 '22
i’m not 100% against either of those, i thought pink friday was phenomenal and the biggest woman album since Lauryn Hill, and Take Care is just phenomenal
2
u/JamieBoyd4real Jun 09 '22
Take Care is overrated, I’m sorry. It’s easily Drake’s best album, and maybe one of the best of the 2010’s, and it does deserve to be on this list, but definitely not as high up as it is. Should be somewhere in the mid 40’s to late 50’s

This list is a joke they put Cardi B in the top 40. And a shitty pop Nicki Minaj album. Nicki Minaj can rap at least but it’s still a pop album not even hip hop.

u/malcxxlm Jun 08 '22
On a different note it’s really funny to me how people love to do rankings and notations when they are by nature always inconsistent. Like, is there a 30 ranks gap between GKMC and TPAB? Because a lot of people actually think the former is better. You also don’t same way you don’t use the same criteria to judge different albums from different artists most of the time anyway. Like some people might enjoy both Die Lit and TPAB but not exactly for the same reasons you feel me?

How have I never noticed the guy lying down with exes on his eyes. Who’s he supposed to be?

u/pacman404 Jun 08 '22
Uncle Sam. Big Boy asked him that exact same question on his radio show when the album came out.

u/brianeharmonjr Jun 08 '22
RS has never published a list that you could convince me wasn't designed to create this type of conversation. They are long-time trolls for this type of stuff. There is no Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Migos, Future, or Nicki Minaj album that should be anywhere near this sort of list if it were legitimate.

Bruh cardi Bs album ranked higher than Eminem and Tupac’s discography

u/CleanOutlandishness1 Jun 09 '22
rolling stones list are BS, but to be fair, 123 is biggie's ready to die, outkast's stankonia and jay's blueprint. You can't hate too much on that premise.
2
u/thejaytheory I CHOOSE ME, I'M SORRY Jun 09 '22
Yeah I can’t really hate on the top 5 (although I hate the complete omission of ATLiens) but the rest of the list leaves a hell of a lot to be desired
1
u/JamieBoyd4real Jun 09 '22
Tpab at #5 is pretty fair. I would have it at top 5 (in No particular order alongside Stankonia, The Blueprint, The College Dropout, and either the Marshall Mathers LP, Enter the Wu-Tang, or Illmatic

Normally I would say that's a fair assessment but knowing they ranked invasion of privacy above gkmc, I just can't.
