1. it takes a nation of millions to hold us back- Public Enemy.

If you dont know why this is #1 you need to just go out and buy it, listen to it, and then imagine you were back in 1988. thats all that needs to be said

2. Criminal Minded- B.D.P.

Once upon a time, it was a new thing to hear James Brown samples. it was new to hear someone saying something in a song. it was new to get your ass handed to you by some kid from the shelter. KRS, Scott LaRock, D-Nice made these things standard. This album made it harder to put out a dope record, you had to be able to compete, and not many can, even still.

3. Low End Theory- A Tribe Called Quest

perfect album. everything is in place here. tribe set out to create a good record, and changed the way that we look at hip hop forever. great listen begining to end, and still sounds fresh 14 years later

This is hte first time I'm traversing into this side of the SuFu forums...and I immediately see this post...thank you my dude...P.E. all day..."It Takes A Nation" is STILL incredible. Those dudes are INSANE live (saw them at BB Kings recently).

Dammit this is difficult...but off the top of my head...my 3 favortes that have got recent spin...in no particular order:

1. Raekwon (& Ghostface) - "Only Build 4 Cuban Linx" (stays in my CD changer...there's no day when this album cannot be put on)

2. Public Enemy - "It Takes A Nation..."

3. Smif n Wessun - "Dah Shinin" (along with Black Moon's "Enta Da Stage")

I definitely have to disagree with the Common thing...he WAS on some gay shit when he was fuckin' Erykah...ironically, the moment he started workin' with Kanye, he got back his 21st century Resurrection shit. "Be" was one of my favorite albums that year...imo it just sounded like a complete album start to finish. He's always been nice lyrically, just the beats he chose to put on his albums post-Resurrection/pre-Be (started with about 1/4 of "One Day It'll All Make Sense") were kinda soft and left-fieldish.

...but then again, what do I know, I think Styles-P is what conscious music should sound like (the closest thing to Chuck D...well at least in getting a message across with an edge and no compromise).

Also...seriously...how hard is it for anyone to list just ONE Wu Tang album in a thread like this. Jeez.

Also, some members have been posting mixtapes as favorites...therefore:

1. Styles-P - "Ghost In The Machine/Ghost In The SHell/Ghost Stories" (just can't choose)

2. Beanie Sigel - "Public Enemy Number 1"

3. Peedi Crakk - "P. Crakk For President"

Honorable mention goes to the Re Up Gang mixtapes...I would add those if there were more slots.

Talib Kweli and Mos Def- Blackstar

Mobb Deep- The Infamous

Nas- Illmatic

comon is a bit fo a fag now... havent liked anything since ressurection. and you put co flow above all of the tribe albums? seriously?

yeah, i dunno. aside from all their big singles and low end theory, i never liked tribe or any of the native tongues hippies. just never did it for me. i can still pretty much recite all that shit line for line, but its the same way i know my timestables or whatever., like school shit.

that common hate is played. one day itll all make sense and like water for chocolate shit on resurection. no IDs beats cannot touch ?uest and dilla. ever. people hate on those albums because common was reaching back into a very forgotten mood that soul music used to provide. he was on some last poets, gil scott heron shit and it was the best music he ever made. better than i used to love HER and better than anything on BE. Kanye runs the soul sample these days and it just sounds like appropriation now that dilla and ?uest flipped it perfectly.

if your gonna hate on common hate on Electric circus. that was god awful. but the two albums before it were amazing. anything with d'angelo is bomb. if its not hard enough for you, thats when ya lost. that shit is smooth as fuck.

How come people are so into the Aquemini album from Outkast? If anything, his first album Southernplayalisticcadillacmuzik was the shit.

Return Of The G

Rosa Parks

Aquemini

Da Art Of Storytellin

Y'all Scared

Thats atleast 5 reasons.

ATLiens is my favorite album from them though. And I think you mean to their first album.

I don't think anything has ever touched what Wu had with their first couple albums - talking specifically about 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords & Cuban Linx.

Those aren't necessarily top three ever, of course, but taken together I'd give em a top slot...

Then Illmatic.

Then possibly Ready to Die, but if we're going off favorites rather than best... I'd lean to Let's Get Free or Doomsday or College Dropout.

At the moment:

1. Nas - Illmatic

2. Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens

3. ATCQ - Midnight Marauders

I've been listening to Blu way more than one should. Dancin' in the Rain and MyBoyBlu are on constant repeat this week.
