![]() That said, let’s get into it – hit up the comments with what YOU would do differently. ![]() Acts like De La Soul, The Roots, Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, Gang Starr, Nas, OutKast, and others could easily have had three or four albums on a ‘100 Essential Hip Hop Albums’ list – but to create space for other dope albums deserving attention, they all get represented here by just one of their classic releases. Share this list with those people and tell them to check out at least some of the albums on this list – listening to just a few of the gems listed here should be enough to set them on the right path.Ĭritical readers will correctly conclude that there are a whole bunch of classic/essential Hip Hop albums NOT listed here – that’s because I intended to keep it limited to one album per act. This article (with the albums listed in no particular order) serves as a document that fellow Hip Hop snobs and evangelists can share with anybody in their social circle – usually the casual listeners or younger ones who haven’t dug very deep yet – who claim to love Hip Hop but who really don’t know what they’re talking about. Of course YOU already know what’s up and don’t need any schooling. I am always ready to slam and dismiss current mainstream rap, to point out where the good contemporary Hip Hop can be found and especially to school the ignorant about the excellence of the classics of the 80s & 90s and the underground jewels that dropped after the turn of the millennium.
