OPINION Rolling Stone puts out its “200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All-Time” list….

[Bed$tuy🇭🇹]

Chance the Rapper acid rap and Tyler whatever his new album name in the top 40.... of all time

I really hate these niggas and the hiphop fans that listen them.

 

[Marc123]

But Chronic at 40 is disrespectful

how often they make these lists seems like every 6 months

the Chronic at 40 is disrespectful. Having Cardi as the better album is criminal. Rolling Stone shouldn’t be allowed to write about hip hop period

 

[Northside7]

That top 10 is trash.

 

[Mister B.]

What infuriated most me about this shit was the fact that they already ranked Illmatic as #44 Greatest album of all-time, regardless of genre, so how in the bar-for-bar fuck are there 23 more hip-hop albums better?

The math is drunk and far from mathing here.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Goodie Mob Soul Food at 168?

Foh w/this 🗑

Lmaoo not surprised by any of this. This is to be expected from them.

 

[Big_Ev]

I'm not even mad at the list. Only because I know where and who made the list.

I felt that way until I actually saw how bad it was.

It's like when my wife said Ja Rule was the second best rapper of all time after Pac. I know she doesn't know shit about rap and only said that because Ja had all those pop hits back in the day, but still...that take was so bad it was offensive to me. lol

True. I have to go and look at the list again. I know you have to at some of the new projects that came out in the past couple of years, but some of them have no right to be up there.

 

[Mister B.]

I did some more digging.

I just said that that RS ranked Illmatic #44 on their greatest albums list, but 24 on the hip-hop list, right?


Look at what they did to The Chronic:

Rolling stone needs their ass kicked

[Tayboo]

At this point I think rolling stone does this just to get people talking cause ain't no way...

Edit: I can actually see the argument for invasion of privacy being on the list, but #16??? Ain't no way.

 

[Sony Montana]

Ehhh that’s cool of rolling stone to come out with this

 

[5th Letter]

Foh w/this 🗑

I loath these types of cacs who thinks because they used to listen to Cuban Linx and Kendrick Lamar is currently their favorite rapper that they have a right to an opinion.

 

[Tayboo]

Okay I actually looked through the whole list and these people gotta be smoking crack.

 

[illestni99ainne]

Yoh is the only name on that list of journalists that I recognize and respect.

that said, I don’t agree with the order of the list (of course) but I cant disagree with what made the top 3.

I can how the hell Stankonia better than Illmatic?
