BringMeTheHorizon Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Just because you think it's funny doesn't make it untrue. I personally don't like Em, he's just a hit maker, who talked about beating women, and killing people. Yet people think he's a top five rapper. Also all the albums you put down were commercials success, Country Grammar was just as successful if not more so than those albums. I'll stop you before you say rap doesn't need to be commercial success for it to be top five. Well your top five has 5 commercially known rappers. If you want message, and content, then anyone you named would not even be top five. There are a !@#$ ton of under ground rappers, past, and present who have had better rhymes, better beats, and better messages. So you fall into the same trap as everyone else by naming mainstream rappers. So you shouldn't be Loling someone's taste because you don't think it's top five material. Especially when you hear more Nelly in rappers now-a-days then you ever hear Pac, Nas, Biggie etcetc Hell not many even sound like Kanye. Quote Link to comment

Rush Sykes Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share The hip/hop album that started it all was Raising Hell from RUN-DMC. Anyu top 5 without it, is just a complete and utter denial of the history from most still pubescent young adults who think NWA launched hip-hop. What a joke. Quote Link to comment

What a joke.NWA helped launch gangsta rap, which is completely different from hip-hop imo you can mix rap & hip-hop, but there are slight differences in the genres. Quote Link to comment

I wasn't really asking for the top five albums that should be the top five albums. I was trying to ask, more of, what are your top five albums. Which ones did you like the most, or which ones do you think should be top five. Because like I told Loki, there are a !@#$ ton of artist who weren't/aren't mainstream who deserve to be top five. Like Jedi would be my top ten if they were bigger, and had more of a reach. Quote Link to comment
Neo Uruk Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share real talk though rap from 07-2012 was pretty weak like waka flocka had one of the best albums of 2010 Quote Link to comment

I personally don't like Em, he's just a hit maker, who talked about beating women, and killing people. Yet people think he's a top five rapper. Nelly doesn't objectify women? Also all the albums you put down were commercials success, Country Grammar was just as successful if not more so than those albums. I'll stop you before you say rap doesn't need to be commercial success for it to be top five. Well your top five has 5 commercially known rappers. If you want message, and content, then anyone you named would not even be top five. There are a !@#$ ton of under ground rappers, past, and present who have had better rhymes, better beats, and better messages. I was talking lyricism, production, and storytelling. Which is what most rap fans usually consider when they name the Top 5 anything. Record sales don't mean anything, and it's all about how good the music is. So you fall into the same trap as everyone else by naming mainstream rappers. So you shouldn't be Loling someone's taste because you don't think it's top five material. Especially when you hear more Nelly in rappers now-a-days then you ever hear Pac, Nas, Biggie etcetc Hell not many even sound like Kanye. Not really, just because they were mainstream albums doesn't mean they weren't good. Are you seriously saying Nelly has influenced more rappers than Nas, Pac, etc? Kanye was the one who started the whole swag rap movement. Nelly was at best a hit maker. NWA helped launch gangsta rap, which is completely different from hip-hop imo you can mix rap & hip-hop, but there are slight differences in the genres. This is a myth. Rap music and Hip-Hop music are the same thing. From 2000-2010? Absolutely. You automatically lose all credibility. Quote Link to comment
