hey you might not like his voice, but his lyrics are smarter then any rappers out are...if you understand figures of speech and such.

__________________

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.

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......

Uhhh, Big L aint had a bad album...

You could add Banks to that list, dudes had like 2 solo albums...both was nice.

some may disagree with this also...but I dont think Redman has dropped a bad album in his career either.

Ghostface def has got sum real hot albums, if we including mixtapes then dipset come hard each time..Fabolous kills it each time...every album/mixtape he has ever put out has at least 4 joints that are hugely known and then another 10 that are so hard or cocky u cant even deny it...2pac hasnt rlly had a bad album...
