Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
Carrying on the raw tradition of The Chronic, Snoop Dogg crafts an additional G-Funk masterpiece with Dr. Dre supplying the beats. From his semi-nasal tone to his erratic sense of humor, Snoop masterfully devised a method to make himself an unforgettable rapper. Witty and gritty at the exact same time, his vocal presence unwavering and smooth. With out a doubt, Doggystyle opened the door for an amount of west coast emcees. Dr. Dre's sonic finesse aside, Snoop's piquant delivery, timely cadence, and haunting hooks had been equally imperial to the Doggystyle's success. Gangsta rap in no way sounded so sweet.

The notorious Large Prepared to die
Using the aid of Puff Daddy, Biggie helped concoct the formula for 90's rap albums by such as club singles like "Big Poppa" and "One Much more Opportunity," on a street LP like Prepared To Die. The shock-inducing, extremely dramatic debut was effective because of Biggie's crisp, meticulously-structured flow and distinct delivery. Really serious tales concerning the harsh realities of street life, suicidal thoughts, and nightmarish death threats, numerous of which B.I.G. claimed had been drawn from actual experiences, assist make Prepared To Die a stakeholder in east coast rap. 8 million individuals would later agree. Even though Prepared To Die has enjoyed a tremendous quantity of sales given that Biggie's demise on March 9, 1997, the album suffered a setback on March 19, 2006. Following a copyrights infringement lawsuit, a judge lately ordered that sales on the album be halted, simply because the title track for Prepared To Die sampled Ohio Players' "Singing within the Morning" with out permission.

Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - 1988
If there's a main contender for the greatest hip hop album ever produced, it's probably this. From the opening missive "Countdown To Armageddon", this album is 1 most deserving of the widely-used 'hip hop bomb' epithet.
Allegedly setting out to produce a hip hop version of Marvin Gaye's soulful but troubled What's Going On?, producer Hank Schocklee (Bomb Squad) slapped the planet within the face having a furious riot of sirens, basslines and irresistible breaks that was - and remains - nothing less than a detonation on wax.
The intricate sampling techniques had been way ahead of the time -- almost within the realm of avant-garde collage -- and Chuck D and Flava Flav, while not probably the most versatile MCs on the planet, underlined hip hop's ability to act as "CNN for Black Individuals.".

Mos Def - Black On Both Sides - 1999
An additional Brooklyn MC, Mos Def created giant waves within the hip hop underground with this dazzlingly confident and original debut. Poetic, philosophical, and dope as hell, it was an ideal millennium record in that it seemed to sum up the story of hip hop so far and simultaneously signal a positive future.
An ambitious 17 tracks lengthy -- and not a lame skit in sight -- the record is epic in scope and contains a stack of classics in different styles, such as "Umi Says", "Climb", "Ms. Fat Booty", and "Mathematics", as well as "Rock N Roll", which shows his broader musical perspective by name-checking Coltrane, Presley, Hendrix and John Lee Hooker.
