Category: WatchDEHHTag: a tribe called quest, atmosphere, jay-z, kanye, outkast, roots, scarface
i know she only did one but still lauryn hill has a flawless discography, outkast collection is my favorite and as far as scarface goes i fuck with all of his albums a couple of kanye’s and most of jayzs so yeah scarface over both of them.
I still can’t believe Kast was not mentioned… They gave us five classic and distinct albums that pushed boundaries of hip hop sonically while maintaining the essence of its culture… To me there’s no better doscography
How about MF Doom, Mos Def, The Clipse, El-P?
YES!!
Not to mention D12-Devils Night and World. Along With the 8 mile soundtrack and Bad Meets Evil. All of there are fire. Even for the Encore and Relapse albums if you throw out the silly shit, the other tracks are dope especially on Encore.
Its gotta be Eminem. Didn’t even get a mention, and Kanye did? Flat out stupid. Your telling me Kanye and Face got got better discography then Em. SSLP, MMLP, EM SHOW, ENCORE, Relapse, Recovery. cmon now. Lyrically nothing touched those. Along with MMLP and Em SHow selling 2 mill in the first week. Plus the growth in those albums is flat out crazy. You get Em’s whole life story in those albums. Can’t believe Jay and Ye get mentions when they never switched up their flows on the albums and i didn’t see much growth with them along with the fact that they couldn’t touch Em lyrically and couldn’t sell like Em.
Nigga no!!!
Gang Starr deserve a mention…
1989: No More Mr. Nice Guy
1991: Step In The Arena
1992: Daily Operation
1994: Hard To Earn
1998: Moment Of Truth
2003: The Ownerz
a pretty consistent list. I think they progressed as a group from record to record… except the Ownerz came nowhere close to matching MOT.
The Roots….Ghostface Killah has a serious collection, as well as Common!!!
Dam, forgot about Common although many people would hold Electric Soul Circus against him and Universal Mind Control against him. For Ghostface, it may be Ghostdini.
ok, well if we are saying Lp’s all being considered flawless than we have to toss in De La Soul and GZA, def not really heavy in the game now, but not a bad record under there belts…
The Roots jumped on my mind when I saw this review…and lets not forget Ghostface Killah….or even Common who has a serious collection!!!
To the point of Kinge, Scarface has more than twice as many albums, and the best albums from Scarface far trump the best from Kanye. He’s a far better lyricist and storyteller. Kanye’s discography stands on its production, not on its actual substance. In terms of Jay-Z, The Black Album is nowhere near the caliber of The Fix by Scarface.
In my opinion The Roots and OutKast have the best discography. Constantly innovative; however true to their core. In addition the artists of both groups consistently have gotten better at their craft. There is no way you can tell me that Kanye and Jay-Z are getting better as they add to their discography. They are progressively getting worse and less introspective.
Thanks for the comment. Yea man, Scarface has a dope discography. I didn’t quite get the objection they had.
