Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth – Funky Technician Also, Game is a low-key super consistent rapper.

Is it their best album? Yes, but Doctor’s Advocate is a close second. Label: Aftermath, G-Unit, Black Wall Street, Interscope Is it their best album? “Victory”, “Young G’s”, “It’s All About the Benjamins”, “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down”, what other Puffy album has songs that stack up against these ones? 41. Is it their best album? Sadly yes, their best and only album as Black Star. Label: Rawkus, Priority, EMI, MCA, Universal Black Star – Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star Rocky really has one of the best catalogues of the rappers in his generation. AT.$AP might just be a little bit better. Is it their best album? $AP is really fucking good. Is it their best album? Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon trilogy is incredible, but I still think the first one tops them all. Kid Cudi – Man on the Moon: The End of Day Big L – Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous But Talib Kweli also has his Reflection Eternal and Black Star under the belt too. Is it their best album? As a solo artist, probably. Is it their best album? No, that would be 1996’s Ridin’ Dirty, which happens to one of the best third hip hop albums of all time. Is it their best album? Even despite dropping a number of great albums over the years, AZ has never managed to touch the magic of Doe or Die. You’ll have to go with Flower Boy, Igor, or his latest album, Call Me If You Get Lost. Is it their best album? No, Tyler, the Creator has had one of the greatest evolutions of a hip hop artist we’ve ever seen, continuing to push the boundaries of his style and innovating with every release.

Is it their best album? Yeap, I think so. Is it their best album? You can definitely make an argument for Reggie’s debut being his best album, but Muddy Waters would also be a strong contender. Is it their best album? Yeah, it’ll have to be between this and Paul’s Boutique. Don’t sleep on Check Your Headthough. Is it their best album? Yeap, Enta da Stage is a straight up golden age classic and one of the albums responsible for bringing the East Coast back when the West Coast had it on lock. Is it their best album? Technically Creepin on ah Come Up is Bone’s debut EP, but whatever. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony – Creepin on ah Come Up shows a lot of potential on I’m Serious, but the album’s quality is still far from what would be Trap Muzik, King or Paper Trail. Is it their best album? Mystic Stylez is a great starting point into the Three 6 Mafia catalogue, but I think an album like Chapter 1: The End or Chapter 2: World Domination is a better pick.

Is it their best album? I would say Music to Driveby. Compton’s Most Wanted – It’s a Compton Thang Pick any other Gang Starr album – Step in the Arena, Hard to Earn or Moment of Truth – and it’ll be a stronger album than their debut. Is it their best album? Personally, my vote would be for Teflon Don, but you could make a strong case for Port of Miami. Don’t sleep on Organized Konfusion though. Is it their best album? Yes, as a solo artist. If we’re counting mixtapes as well, then Days Before Rodeo will always be my favourite Travis Scott project. Is it their best album? There’s an argument for it, although I personally lean towards Astroworld. Is it their best album? The Coming is pretty fucking great, but I might have to go with When Disaster Strikes… and Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front over it. It sounds like the Butcher is cooking up another masterpiece. Is it their best album? Tana Talk 3 is Benny’s best album to date, but I have a feeling that it won’t be for long. Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…, Me Against the World, All Eyez on Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory are all superior to this album. Honourable mentions: 2Pac – 2Pacalypse Now
