The best hip hop album ever is The Infamous

[King of Rock II]

And no I'm not just figuring that out right now but I thought it was time to say it out loud.

I just think its better than illmatic or the chronic or ready to die or whatever you can come up with. Because, illmatic's only nine tracks. Quality over quantity of course but the songs on the infamous are every bit as good as those on illmatic there's just more of them.

I think I'd have it at somewhere at around # 30 or something. I love the album, but there's a lot better ones out there, in my opinion. I think the two Q-Tip joints, while good, are really out of place, too. And I don't think that Prodigy is at the top of his rhyme game at this point. He's nice, but he's not Drop A Gem On 'Em/Quiet Storm/Keep It Thoro nice yet. But Hav's beats were never this good again.

[King of Rock II]

I agree with the last part, that prodigy got better after this album.

Can you honestly think of 29 albums that are better? Even if I would put all the real "classics" before the infamous they would be higher.

the infamous is a great album but I wouldnt say its the best

[King of Rock II]

all excellent albums, but I stand by my choice.

[mickill]

To each his own. The Infamous is an understandable choice for somebody to have as a favorite, it's just not mine.

Hey Mickill, was it Fashion, or Al Tariq who used to be in the Beatnuts?

[Gareth]
