If I can only pick 5 it might be these:
  • Raekwon - House of Flying Daggers
  • A Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour
  • Camp Lo - Black Nostaljack AKA Come On
  • Outkast - Bombs Over Baghdad
  • Wu Tang Clan - Heaterz
I've just recently got into Outkast and have played the Stankonia album about 7 or 8 times this week. Bombs Over Baghdad is such a fecking tune. :drool:

I wasn't massive on hiphop growing up, but it's recently just clicked with me. Like a switch has been flicked. I'm going to go through this thread and listen to every song.

One of the first CDs I remember buying and I still have it. Would imagine I was around 11/12 based on the release date. That and Marshall Mathers LP. I’m sure my mum was delighted.

This is becoming more of a genuine hip hop recommendation thread and a place for some folk to discover new stuff so I'll throw out a shout to Eastern Conference Records who were absolutely killing it in the late 90's early 2000's. A few tracks from Eastern Conference All Stars Vol1 below...


If you like them check out albums from The High and Mighty (Home Field Advantage), Cage (Movies for the Blind is amazing), Copywrite (High Exhaulted) and The Smut Peddlers (Porn Again)

Listening to the playlist @Stobzilla made now. Dilla pops up every third song it seems when i got it on shuffle. Just shows his absolute genius.

Edit : wait, did you put the whole Donuts album in there? Im not at all complaining btw, its :devil:

Why even bother to stress picking out 1 or 2 tracks off of it ? Just chuck the whole lot in.

Made my way through a few already. Started with Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) the day before yesterday and listened to Camp Lo's Uptown Saturday Night today. Both really, really good albums. Can see why C.R.E.A.M. is rated highly, what a tune.

One of the first CDs I remember buying and I still have it. Would imagine I was around 11/12 based on the release date. That and Marshall Mathers LP. I’m sure my mum was delighted.
The Marshall Mathers LP brings back some great memories for me. It seemed like everybody in the school I went to was listening to that album at the same time, which seems incredibly cool looking back. A kind of collective appreciation.

Can anyone make a good argument against Kanye being the best producer of the 21st century so far?

J Dilla... you mustn't have heard the playlist.
I wasn't really counting him, seeing as he was around before, and died very early in the century, but I certainly wouldn't argue against him, to be fair.

What about new beats on old tracks? This is definitely one of the best I've heard:

Really ? That garbage instead of Premier's beat?

There are some great beats today they don't need to butcher classic ones.

Asap Rocky has some amazing production even Playboi Carti and Future who I cannot stand as trailers but their beats can be fantastic
