Best Concept Album

[Lou Cypher]

 

[The Lonious Monk]

So we got this far without anyone mentioning OB4CL?

Shame on all you niggas.

 

[KINGEC]

 

[Disanthrope]

I play this ever year since it dropped

It's almost like a inside joke with myself. I be like "i haven't listened to the minstrel show this year"

 

[JUDAH]

Drogas Waves

2 alternate realities that really don't have shit to do with each other but the shit flows like one album

I won't even bother getting into what those worlds are like but this is/was the craziest concept album (that actually worked) to me

I would have said this...but Tetsuo & Youth is cohesive forward and back.

[1/2]

I would have said this...but Tetsuo & Youth is cohesive forward and back.

I really have to sit down with that one again

real shit....it just never found me.....not the music but the concept....the painting told me that shit was deeper than what I was getting out of it

 

[GOAT]

The DOC - Helter Skelter

Voice was fucked so in the album he died in the crash and comes back from the dead.

 

[Tessai]

It varies but this is a standout for me.

Came to say this one of the best concept/story albums ever to me

Masta Ace owns this thread... One of the reasons I always have Ace in my top 5 is the fact he incorporates concepts into his albums...

If you play Disposable Arts, A Long Hot Summer, The Falling Season and the first eMC album in a certain order it basically tells his life story, or a persons life story...

Falling Season (2016) going to high school/early years
Disposable Arts (2001) released from prison and joining a hip hop college starting a label
A Long Hot Summer (2004) struggling artist living in bk trying to avoid trouble
the eMC album 'The Show' (2008) details him and his crews escapades on tour

Falling Season legit doesnt get enough props. I just happened to listen to that album when it first came out and it blew me away. Its legit a classic
(this album he made just about his life as a kid to an adult)
Masta Ace - The Falling Season

(The album theme was around the the tale of Cain and Abel. You know brothers killing brothers. He tied it into black people killing each other)
Ka - Descendants of Cain

(this album was a whole greek theme)
Ka - Hermit and the Recluse - Orpheus vs the Sirens

(this was a whole fathers theme album just like the cover)
Skyzoo - Milestone

(Album on the parallels between Samurai honor that helped end them and street honor)
Ka - Honor Killed the Samurai



(Cant tell me this video from this album dont really make you think)

 

[EighteenArhatsofShaolin]

Forgot to mention this album by Jakki Da Motamouth



If anyone know where I can do this dm me been looking for this album for the longest .

This album came out in 1973 and is one of my favorites. I'm a huge Last Poets fan and this album was made by Jalal Nurriden of the Last Poets. Kool & The Gang played some of the background music.
