I may not agree with you, but you manage to articulate your points lucidly and intelligently. Sincere kudos for that.

. AND Check Your Head is a vastly underrated album IMO.

[/ QUOTE ]I can't stand any other Beastie Boys stuff but this album is in my top question. And yes I know all the other Beastie Boys stuff is supposed to be awesome, I have no clue why I cannot stand any of it.

Ya seems I have pretty different taste to the majority, which do you find in my list is the worst offender? and why?

[ThaSaltCracka]

DMX grand champ is probably the worst, followed by Nas I am.



My list, in no particular order

Dre-The Chronic
Snoop- Doggystyle
Goodie Mob- Soul Food
Outkast- Southernplayastic
Nas- Illmatic
Nas- It was written
Eminem- The Slim Shady LP
Brother Ali- Shadows on the sun
Bone- E. 1999 Eternal
Ghostface- Ironman


Dozens of honerable mentions.

for me it would be the fact that you think outkast cant put together a good album, but have dmx grand champ and nate dogg on your top ten list. some of your other picks are good though(soul food, IWW)

[LyinKing]

yeah, the inability to grasp OutKast's methods in structuring a record is, in computer speak, user error. They are one of the few acts that understands what it is to make an album vs a concatenation of songs.

8Ball & MJG and UGK also deserve a lot of praise for spawning so many Southern progeny.

[Dids]

LyinKing,

I know what Outkast is trying to do. I just don't think they do it very well.

I would actually argue that UGK should be held accountable for all the [censored] artists that attempt to mimic their style but pale in comparision and make a ton of [censored] music.

[LyinKing]

well, UGK can't be held accountable for their paradigm's being skewed by lesser acts. Most current rap is derivative and inferior.
