Artists who have never made a bad album
 

Note: The people you post must have 3 or more albums.

Gang Starr: Primo and the Guru sadly split up last year, but together made many albums and none of them were below 8/10. They have made two Godly albums, which is 2 more than 99% of the music industry (Step in the Arena and Moment of Truth) and are widely aknowledged as one of the greatest hip hop duo's of all time. Primo's genius production and Guru's smooth, jazzy down to earth style has gained them acclaim and respect across the globe. Most artists make one dope album then fall off. Nas is perhaps the best example of this. He made two amazing albums in Ilmatuic and It was Written then made some good albums and then made the awful Nastradamus. He since has made mediocre albums at best. Eminem is also a good example of this. Gang Starr however, startedoff strong and finished even stronger. They have made an immeasurable contribution to Hip Hop and remain one of my favourite groups of all time.

Rakim: Regarded by some as the greatest emcee of all time, Rakim has always been a God on the mic. Making many incredible albums with producer Eric B (best of which was arguably Let the Rhythm Hit Em), he has NEVER made a bad album. Some people say The Master was mediocre, but compare it to 90% of the other rap albums and you'll find it blows them out of the water. Waitin for the World to End is my personal favourite track by him. Oh My God is one of the most anticipated albums of all times, and it better be dope as fuck.

Creed: I doubt any of you have heard of them, but they're one of the greatest Alternate Rock albums in recent history. They only made 3 albums, but all 3 were fucking dope. Their style is so laid back and musically they're extremely talented. Lyrically they're excellent as well, which is a great achievement in any genre. They nailed the top of the charts in the US with several different songs and are wiedley regarded as a damn good band. I love chilling to them with a pint of Larger on a Friday night.

I'll post some more when I can be bothered.

Rakim....His shit is just crazy.that muh fucka be killing the mic and he showed mu fuckas like us young niggas that old school hip hop dont gotta be just slow as rapping wit no lyrics.
that nigga can destroy just about anything u put em on....

Big Pun....I dont even have to explain why really. just by any CD of his....He could read some one elses verse on a random beat and make it ill. If u aint heard puns shit then uv been missing out for real.

Jay Z....one of the best yet....The Dynasty was a classic and years later is still hot as fuck to date.

I got more names but I dont really feel like typin this shit.

add Kanye West to the list....

I know much hate i'll get for this but honestly 50 cent has never came out with a bad album......every album always has really good songs....in mass numbers

The Massacre had like 3 tracks that were remotely decent.

Big L never made a bad album.

GHOSTFACE all his albums could be considered classics

N.W.A/Eazy-E, nuff sed, werd

Obie Trice

Big L

Cannibus

^ word...obies last album was dope as fuck


im expecting the same for this next one

creed? mmm i never really liked them but i dunno

T-Rock....Has like 8 albums and I rate them along with other reviewers professional and unprofessional all 5 stars out of 5. Guy is a Legend

Three 6 Mafia.= They always have Club Bangers

Chris Stylez= havent put out an album to put out a bad one

and thats all i have for now

Lmao @ Canibus having one of the worst albums in hip hop history on his discography.

Lmao some of these responses are a joke. Obie Trice has made like 1 album, and it was mediocre. That doesn't class as consistent. 50 Cent, ROFL. All the albums he made were wack. Canibus fell off since Rip the Jacker and Kanye West is weak as a rapper. I hate his production too if truth be told, but others like it.

*waives at 9th degree and leaves site again*

^Come baaaaaaaaack :(

CANIBUS FELL THE FUCK OFF AFTER HIS SECOND ALBUM.

*waves back at hotzilla*

^Nah Rip the Jacker was dope dude, Poet Laureatte 2 is one of the best tracks ever made in rap, period

So? That doesn't change the fact that Bis fell the fuck off. A lot of people have fallen the fuck off, and then came out with decent albums a few years later. (Yes, RTJ was decent).

Project Mutha Fuckin Pat...dude defines Goonie....He da Goonie King......

^Poet Laureatte 2 was godly though. A real diamond in the rough. Just like Waitin for the World to End on The Master.

Maybe to those who didn't get bored by it after about 6 listens.

Why are y'all listen people with 2 or 1 album? Doesn't the threat say atleast 3 albums? READ. Anywho people that have good albums:

Talib Kweli
Beanie Sigel
Jean Grae

^ he says to list atleast 3 people who've never droped a bad album...

godly? do niggaz actually say that shit? well any way cannibus is tight but his shit does get boring as fuck after every songs is him doing a few hundred bars wit out no hooks or chorus. Project pat has really good beats...but I hate that niggaz voice and his annoying ass background noises he makes. all I gotta say is Makaveli the Don....

Two Albums Dont Count .

lets see ghostface

wow i wouldn't have chosen any of those guys r. different taste i guess.

Out of the people named in this thread I would have to agree with Nas, Redman and Rakim :thumbup:™

I'd like to put Big Pun as a close runner up because he only really had 2 albums.......wish he coulda lived to drop more, the man was a genius....

R.I.P Big Pun

Forget Rock...
Jay Z: Duhh!!
Kayne West: ^ weerd...

all biggie albums were great while he was alive,only after he was dead did shitty ones come out

OMFG......I can't believe it. I think LK just said something that I whole heartedly, 100% agree with. Someone take a picture.....CHEESE!!!!! :D

I broke it into 'yes', 'almost', and 'not'. Jus off the top...

Yes:
Big
Jay
Rakim
Ludacris
CunninLynguists
Ghostface
Eminem (sadly... im not a big fan, but they all have hella commercial success, and what makes Em a shoe-in from me is he IS lyrically gifted, and displays it on all of the albums... and yes I am including his first album 'Infinite')
Gangstarr
Talib Kweli
Tribe called quest
The Roots

almost:
Fabolous
DL Incognito (3rd album is droppin end of summer, and he's instantly in the 'yes' column)
DMX (his first three were all classics to me, but the newest 2 are 'meh')
Lil Wayne (his first album was a hood classic... in the south, and ONLY in the south. Since then, he's caught on to what EVERYone likes, and he's making ill music lately)
2Pac
Common (what the heck happened with Electric Circus)
Little Brother (only 2 main distributed albums)
Wu-tang
Mobb Deep (and im sure they'll drop to the 'not' column after their G-Unit debut)
LL Cool J (ok, he had a few weak drops, but 7-8 out of 11 damn albums ain't bad LOL)

not:
Nas (he had 2 SLEEPER albums people... c'mon now)
Beanie Sigel (haha - thats laughable)
Obie Trice (haha... nope)
Outkast (they were ILL for 3, maaaybe 4 albums... then wtf)
D12 (my God people... give ya head a shake... just cause a rapper dies, dont automatically make his shit legendary...)

word.

^gotta disagree with you on eminem bro, last album wasnt enitrly good, it had its bad parts to it.

you forgot redman the gza

Creed are dope, you obviously just have single minded taste. Aesop Rock is only good to people who listen to his mindless babble and think "wow... I can't understand it so it must be dope".

Music is about personal taste...

You ask a question like this and all your going to get is 50% of people naming their faverite artists whether or not they have brought out crap being irrelevant.. 30% hip hop heads just throwing out mad shitloads of names to show off how many artists they listen to and 20% cunts like me telling other cats their choices are wack and ragging shit on your gay "I was just craving some attention" style thread......
