Oh no, someone mentioned a difference between rap and hip-hop. There goes the thread.

I was gonna let it go and hope no one would respond to them.

In all honesty, I never really cared whether people listed rap or hip hop. They fall under the same genre in my eyes. I was just trying to appease the guy who said it.

Because for the sake of this disscusion, they really are the same thing?

But yeah 15 choices would be good, would make the seeding all the better.

Yes, for the sake of this discussion they are the same thing. I think it would be ridiculous to have to seperate "rap" albums from "hip hop" albums.

WAIT! Please take some filler off this list.

THESE DO NOT BELONG:

2Pac- The Don Kiluminati, Outkast- Aquemini, Outkast- ATLiens
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony- E 1999 Eternal 50 Cent- Get Rich or Die Trying, LL Cool J- Radio, The Game- The Documentary, Common- Be, Xzibit- Restless


Many of these are fine albums, but don't deserve anything like a Best Ever nom.

The problem with best album polls is that they end up with like 2pac vs 2pac rounds. Why not make a Best Individual Rapper poll? This means we can judge a rapper purely by content and skill over an entire career. For instance, I don't like any entire Jaz-Z record, but just by his hits he should be in the top 5 GOAT...
Then you could have a Best Rap Group poll series as well...OR include say, Q-tip in the individual series?

Just a thought...Also, check out Chris Rock's Top 25... HERE (WITH HIS NOTES)

Interesting and cool to see how many 2p2ers are stoked on Bro Ali. Out of all the people I know on the east coast only the hip hop junkies like him.

Is he getting big in other parts of the country?

I'm gonna get nittier and declare that there is no essential difference. Please let's drop this distinction now and forever.

Please,

This is wrong. They are both both hip-hop and rap.

This is really retarded and a gross misunderstanding of the definitions of hip-hop and rap.

Jay-Z - Black Album
Jay-Z - Blueprint
Dr. Dre - Chronic 2001
Eminem - Slim Shady LP
Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP
Nelly - Country Grammar
Nas - Illmatic
Nas - Stillmatic

I think Chronic 2001/Black Album is the clear winner though.
