Rolling Stone's Top 500 albums of All-Time
 

RIGHT HERE

It's a long ass list but interesting to all you music fanitics out there. What irks me is how even though hip-hop has took over it still gets fronted on by the "music critics", The highest hip-hop album is at 48 and it's not that many, and the choices (Where the hell is 2Pac!? PE should be higher up the list. THREE of Eminem's Cds made it!?!? Com'on dog!!)

I found the bearkdown of the list to just hip-hop albums so this makes it easier ..

48. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Public Enemy
120. Raising Hell, Run-DMC
133. Ready to Die, The Notorious B.I.G.
137. The Chronic, Dr. Dre
144. Straight Outta Compton, N.W.A
154. The Low End Theory, A Tribe Called Quest
156. Paul's Boutique, Beastie Boys
217. Licensed to Ill, Beastie Boys
227. Paid in Full, Eric B. and Rakim
240. Run-DMC, Run-DMC
248. Reasonable Doubt, Jay-Z
273. The Slim Shady LP, Eminem
300. Fear of a Black Planet, Public Enemy
302. The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem
312. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Lauryn Hill
317. The Eminem Show, Eminem
346. 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul
359. Stankonia, Outkast
386. Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, Wu-Tang Clan
400. Illmatic, Nas
444. Criminal Minded, Boogie Down Productions
459. Strictly Business, EPMD

477. The Score, Fugees
478. Radio, LL Cool J
483. Life After Death, The Notorious B.I.G.
497. Yo! Bum Rush the Show, Public Enemy

I knew the beatles and elvis would be up there ..

they hate black people ..

damn they need to hop off PE's dicks. and em has 3 CD' over illmatic? ill matic should be the #1 rap CD on that list

that list sucks

Hmmm.....
whatever happened to Tupac - Me Against the World?

None of Eminem's CDs should be on that fucking list

Blueprint shouldn't be on there.......

Stankonia shouldn't be on there either.......try one of their older albums like ATLiens

And I guess everyone forgot about GZA - Liquid Sword

or the Blackstar album....how can that NOT be on there?

And Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein is a must for any top Hip-Hop albums.....

Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus is another must......

El-P - Fantastic Damage and Aesop Rock - Float should also be on that list.......


That list is terrible.......I'm going to write to them about it.

^word......like i said....this list sucks ass

137. The Chronic, Dr. Dre <-No...no...no
144. Straight Outta Compton, N.W.A <-The start of "Gangsta Rap" Confuckingratulations.
273. The Slim Shady LP, Eminem =/
312. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Lauryn Hill "I love Lauryn Hill...really, her songs are so great, especially the lyrics she sings that other people write" - Sage Francis (I can't remember the exact quote)

i agree with everyone.. cept for the following
alot of Em's albums was hard.. but not better then IllMatic, well maybe on is compared to it, but that was his first... but not quite there yet... And Pacs All Eyes On Me or Me Against The World .. should at least get props, shit maybe even biggies 'Ready To Die' FUCK ELIVS, PE = wack anyway fuck em all

at least one of tupac's albums should've been there..

I agree that Eminem should be on the list..maybe not 3 times, but he deserves to be there..stop hating ffs..it's gettin' tiresome.

Illmatic should be higher up..and there should be at least ONE rap album in the top 20....

dont forget this is a mainstream magazine covering all genres im suprised we got some dope albums in, muhthugga i agree wid u there was some blazing ommisions but most of the public havent even heard of cannibal ox or Aesop Rock yet alone heard float

im actually wid c-section on this chuck d is dope but that album is serverely overated and illmatic should be the no1 rap album

^ Well there isnt, dont cry about it, go make your own fucking list if you dont like it ..
Eminem shouldnt be on there, period. Let alone him having 3 CD's on the list. And i disagree with Bruk here .. Public Enemy were awesome back in the day, they should be up there but yeah .. its top 500 albums, not top 500 rap albums.

Dont like it, dont bitch, go and make a fucking list of your own ..

<- already made a list of top 50 rap albums. :D

Illmatic at 400 is a definate joke

funny thing about that list
they were all comercial

hint hint
