So, I'm just finishing up Aquemini, which I liked a great deal, but man, some albums just go on and on and on, and it kills me because I'm really enjoying them, but getting a little exhausted with really enjoying them at the same time, if that makes sense. Anyways, I loved quite a few tracks on it, and the production was phenomenal. "spottieottiedopaliscious" was pretty awesome. And I loved the "skits" on this one (they didn't feel so much like skits here).
Of all of those albums, I would say that there are five clear albums that I really do love and count as favorites:
1) N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton (I have no clue why, I just have a lot of fun with this)
2) Kanye West - Graduation
3) Outkast - Aquemini (The caveat here though, is I just don't know how often I'm going to listen to this album, I really am bad about listening to "long" albums, unless they're by artists I really love
4) Gorillaz - Demon Days
5) Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
So, based on that, hip hop purists, where do I go next?
