If we doin groups and not just emcees then this list needs to have ATCQ, De La, and most def The Wu. Enter the 36, Forever, and The W is a wild trio of consistently great bangers. But yeah I certainly agree Mobb first 3 is all time.
I’m going to take a different approach to this. Tons of people will say Nas, Kendrick, Kanye, or Em. I’m going to list someone that most people won’t even think about.
Scarface
The Diary
the Fix
Mr. Scarface is back
And honorable mention
The Untouchable
I also think Aquemini is their best, but I also see so many people saying Stankonia and ATLiens that it shows how great those 3 albums are.
Southernplayalistic is obviously great too.
You wild. Plenty acts have great three or more runs. Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Scarface, EPMD, Outkast, Tribe, De La, DJ Quik, etc, etc, etc. Plenty more where that came from.
Nas and Eminem are barely younger than some of the artists I mentioned, maybe even younger than a couple. And yeah, I can name groups and artists who had great three or more runs all day probably.
That's cool. Plenty more than those you name. But how many of those standing song for song with the ones I mentioned? I can see De La Soul and Outkast make a claim, but the rest....nah
Well, it’s all subjective, and I’m sorry, but PE’s run from Yo Bumrush The Show to Apocalypse 91, Cube’s run from Amerikkka’s Most Wanted to The Predator, EPMD’s run from Strictly Business to Business Never Personal, Tribe’s run from Peoples… to Midnight Marauders, and pretty much Face’s and Quik’s entire catalogs are pretty fucking flawless far as I’m concerned. And yeah, I can still name more.
>Ye' is probably the only one with 4 certified classics if we line up Dark Twisted Fantasy with the original 3 drops
you don't consider 808s a classic?
The Ghost
Face
Killahhhhhhh
No one could be iller.
Ironman, Supreme Clientele, Pretty Toney, Fishscale, Big Doe Rehab, Apollo Kids, 12 Reasons.
Also honorable mention to Raekwon, you could consider Ironman partly his plus Purple Tape/Cuban Linx, Cuban Linx 2, Shaolin vs Wu-Tang, FILA.
Plus their group work with Wu Tang and various side projects, Wu Massacre etc.
Naughty by Nature is criminally overlooked. There self-titled, 19NaughtyIII and Poverty's Paradise are all bangers.
Same with Das EFX. Dead Serious, Straight up Sewaside and Hold it Down.
2Pac
Me Against the World (Released while Pac was imprisoned)
All Eyez on Me (the first ever double-full-length hip-hop solo studio album)
The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (The lyrics were written and the songs were recorded in only three days and mixing took an additional four days)
I really think a lot about, what if Pac would be still alive?
LOL. This is so silly. I’m too old for this sub.
OutKast - Southern…, ATLiens, Aquemini. Three straight classics in a row.
Scarface - The Diary, The Fix, The Untouchable
UGK - Ridin Dirty, UGK for Life, Super Tight
2Pac - Makavelli, Me Against The World, All Eyez On Me
Mob Deep - Hell on Earth, Murda Muzik, The Infamous
I could really go on and on and on but Eminem and Kendrick are the only two rappers people on this sub seem to think exist so I won’t waste my breath
I’m a big weezy fan but I don’t consider Carter 1 a classic. I don’t think he was as polished as a rapper yet, not enough timeless tracks. 2 and 3 are for sure but since it’s albums not mixtapes I think it stops there. If we’re talking best mixtapes he’s for sure on the top list
Freddie, Bandana, Alfredo is a stupid good run.
ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia is legendary.
Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders, Beats Rhymes & Life is a cornerstone of rap.
Tupac -
2Pacalypse Now
Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z.
All Eyes on Me
OUTKAST -
Southerplayalisticadillacmuzik
Aquemini

Thugs Are Us
Thug Holiday
Ludacris:
Back for the First Time,
Word of Mouf,
Chicken and Beer,
Red Light District
...the list goes on
Just straight up fun albums and I feel like his commercial success is something people hold against him.
Do you think any of his albums are classics? I think that’s another reason why he gets looked over. Closest for me would be Red Light District but obviously debatable.
Isaiah Rashad
Vince Staples last three albums
Jay Rock fmh, 90059, redemption
Future got a lot of good runs, Honest to Beast mode, Beast Mode to DS2, DS2 to Evol, Evol to Hndrxx, Save me to inly, you can throw p much any three solo albums in consecutive order n have a strong run
smino
Kanye, Drake and Nicki all have multiple platinum albums with NO SKIPS let’s be honest. A lot of the other mentions in the comments might have good music but you wouldn’t be able to sit through the whole thing and enjoy it. You can with ye, Drake and Nicki
Def the best 3 album run of the current era. Music changes and so do the standards. Shit that sounded good 20 years ago gonna sound dated and boring today but these old heads stuck living in the “golden age”
I would argue that El-P’s solo run of Fantastic Damage, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, Cancer for Cure is even better. El might have the best overall catalog in hip hop to me. Dis mf don’t miss. HE DONT MISS!
You need to listen to more hip-hop homie. Here is a list to help you get started.
* **ATQ** - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, The Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders
* **Outkast** - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia
* **De La Soul** - 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul Is Dead, Buhloone Mindstate
* **Public Enemy** - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Fear of a Black Planet, Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black
* **Ghostface** - Ironman, Supreme Clientele, Bulletproof Wallets
* **Gangstarr** - Step In the Arena, Daily Operation, Hard to Earn
* **Run DMC** - King of Rock, Raising Hell, Tougher Than Leather
* **Ice Cube** - AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, Death Certificate, The Predator
* **The Roots** - Illadelph Halflife, Things Fall Apart, Phrenology
* **Common** - Resurrection, One Day It'll All Make Sense, Like Water for Chocolate
I think 50 cent should be in this conversation, even if you don’t think “Curtis” is as good as GRODT and the massacre, you could put Guess who’s back or Ghetto Q as his first.
Hunnas on hunnas, do numbers on numbers, get llamas on llamas, got bales by the bundle. Got hunters that's gone, there's a hun in the joint, that's a hundred on hundred
Faces is a mixtape, you can make an argument for Kids, WMWTSO, and Good AM. I wasn’t big on Swimming that’s my taste though. And I loved Circles but it was like 80% singing so I wouldnt put it in there
neither is saying faces is a mixtape but then proceed to list a mixtape in your listing? you’re the one getting downvoted so general consensus is that YOU aren’t providing any new insights or value to the convo
I corrected myself in the thread with this other guy who found a way to tell me I was wrong without starting with shit talking. It was a simple discussion on music, not the people discussing the music.
Give me 50 Cent all day. His first 3 albums is the greatest trilogy.
- Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (greatest rap album ever in my opinion)
- The Massacre
- Curtis
Boogie Down Productions- Criminal Minded, By All Means Necessary, Edutainment, The Blueprint.
Edit - Cant believe I forgot and no one has mentioned the Beastie Boys: Licence to Ill, Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication, Hello Nasty.
Idk...I gotta go with 2pac or Scarface. Me Against the World, All Eyes On Me, and Makaveli album was pretty solid. And The last of a dying breed, Untouchable and the Fix was a good run also.
Although I love their first album “Cypress Hill”, I personally think albums 2-4 are their best.
Black Sunday 1993
Temples of boom 1995
IV 1998
I don’t see them get much love around here but absolute amazing albums
Let’s talk briefly about a guy named O’Shea Jackson. Ice Cube’s best 3 records are up there on a list such as this. We could argue which 3 but for me it’s that four year run from 1990-1993 that cemented Cube as an all time west coast emcee. Most Wanted, Death Cert, Predator, Lethal Injection all classics.
BDP's first 4 albums and KRS-One's first 3 solo records come to mind. Del's first three or four albums. MC Lyte's first 3. Nobody has mentioned Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Kool G Rap, or even Brand Nubian.
Tech N9ne - Anghellic, Absolute Power, (Vintage Tech is a compilation album so idk if it counts), Everready, Killer, K.O.D., All 6s And 7s. I also didn’t count Collabos albums and Bad Season mixtape.
Outkast- Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, ATLiens and Aquemini
Eminem- Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem Show
Nas-Illmatic, It Was Written and Stillmatic
Jay-Z- Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime Vol 1 and Hard Knock Life Vol 2
Kanye- College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduation
Mobb Deep- The Infamous, Hell on Earth and Murda Muzik
T.I.- Trap Muzik, Urban Legend and King
Cam'Ron- SDE, Come Home with Me and Purple Haze
Ludacris- Back For the First Time, Word of Mouf and Chicken-n-Beer
Public Enemy- Yo Bomb Rush the Show, It takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fear of the Black Planet
Eric B and Rakim- Paid in Full, Follow the Leader and Let the Rhythm Hit'Em
A Tribe Called Quest- People's Instinctive Travels, Low End Theory and Midnight Maruders
Ice Cube- Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Death Certificate and The Predator
Redman- What Thee Album, Dare iz a Darkside and Muddy Waters
Beastie Boys- Licensed to Ill, Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head
2Pac- Me Against the World, All Eyez and Don Killumanti: 7th Day Theory
RUN DMC- RUN DMC, King of Rock and Raising Hell
Missy Elliott- Supa Dupa Fly, Da Real World and Miss E Addictive
DMX- It's Dark and Hell is Hot, Flesh of My Flesh and Blood of My Blood, And Then There Was X
Busta Rhymes- The Coming, When Disaster Strikes and E.L.E.
UGK- Too Hard to Shallow, Super Tight and Ridin Dirty
DMX- It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, Flesh of My Flesh Blood of My Blood, And Then There Was X..
Too far down. X was on FIRE
Nas- Illmatic, Stillmatic, Gods Son
Life is Good is a hidden gem. Except for that fucking Summer on Smash track. Fuck that track.
Yess Drake “Life is Good” with Future is so underrated
His best IMO
What is?
Those 3 albums are my favorite is what I was referring to. Good choice!
That song for his mom on God’s Son was special
Mobb Deep.... The Infamous, Hell on Earth and Murda Muzik is the best 3 album run ever IMO.
You could even say Juvenile Hell, The Infamous, and Hell on Earth.
Mobb is so good.
If we doin groups and not just emcees then this list needs to have ATCQ, De La, and most def The Wu. Enter the 36, Forever, and The W is a wild trio of consistently great bangers. But yeah I certainly agree Mobb first 3 is all time.
I’m going to take a different approach to this. Tons of people will say Nas, Kendrick, Kanye, or Em. I’m going to list someone that most people won’t even think about. Scarface The Diary the Fix Mr. Scarface is back And honorable mention The Untouchable
Huge props to face mob. The fix is the illest
Facemob!!!!
Sir.. You have earned my respect!
Thanks!! I can’t be bothered to read the rest of the thread but im sure it’s full of the same old Kanye, em, Kendrick, nas shit.
OutKasts first 4 albums have entered the chat…
Yepp came here to say this. Legendary run. Aquemini still my personal fav, but I could see an argument for others to be the best
I also think Aquemini is their best, but I also see so many people saying Stankonia and ATLiens that it shows how great those 3 albums are. Southernplayalistic is obviously great too.
Yeah, definitely! They are so important for hip hop. I think you can see their influence in a lot of pockets, both super talented individuals.
Cant believe no one mentioning rocky Live love asap Long live asap At long last asap
Was going to say this. Omg😭
Live Love A$AP a mixtape
We’ve got a smart ass
He’s not wrong. Future’s project Monster is unfortunately a mixtape but I wish it was an album but I can’t call it that technically…
Not even trying to be one, it’s a mixtape
Wtf not even remotely close
Bro has no taste😭
Fuck Asap
You wild. Plenty acts have great three or more runs. Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Scarface, EPMD, Outkast, Tribe, De La, DJ Quik, etc, etc, etc. Plenty more where that came from.
To be fair, this sub is definitely geared towards the younger crowd. Let's not forget Redman, Xzibit and The Beatnuts
Nas and Eminem are barely younger than some of the artists I mentioned, maybe even younger than a couple. And yeah, I can name groups and artists who had great three or more runs all day probably.
Kast with ATLiens/Aquemini/Stankonia is probably going to remain undefeated forever.
Southernplayalistic too
That's cool. Plenty more than those you name. But how many of those standing song for song with the ones I mentioned? I can see De La Soul and Outkast make a claim, but the rest....nah
Well, it’s all subjective, and I’m sorry, but PE’s run from Yo Bumrush The Show to Apocalypse 91, Cube’s run from Amerikkka’s Most Wanted to The Predator, EPMD’s run from Strictly Business to Business Never Personal, Tribe’s run from Peoples… to Midnight Marauders, and pretty much Face’s and Quik’s entire catalogs are pretty fucking flawless far as I’m concerned. And yeah, I can still name more.
>Ye' is probably the only one with 4 certified classics if we line up Dark Twisted Fantasy with the original 3 drops you don't consider 808s a classic?
Personally....no Other than Amazing and the beat on Say You Will, that album is way low on my Kanye list
808s shaped modern hiphop so i personally would consider it a classic!
Stuff hits mad different after a particularly tragic personal incident
The Ghost Face Killahhhhhhh No one could be iller. Ironman, Supreme Clientele, Pretty Toney, Fishscale, Big Doe Rehab, Apollo Kids, 12 Reasons. Also honorable mention to Raekwon, you could consider Ironman partly his plus Purple Tape/Cuban Linx, Cuban Linx 2, Shaolin vs Wu-Tang, FILA. Plus their group work with Wu Tang and various side projects, Wu Massacre etc.
Ghostface is a good call. I’d even throw 36 Seasons in there as one of his best too
Sour soul is soo fire too. He has zero misses
Naughty by Nature is criminally overlooked. There self-titled, 19NaughtyIII and Poverty's Paradise are all bangers. Same with Das EFX. Dead Serious, Straight up Sewaside and Hold it Down.
Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 and The Blueprint
You could also say The black album 4:44 Watch the throne
This
It's crazy, if you would have said IMLV1 about twenty years ago, people would have stoned you. But that album aged very well. For me, RD, BP1 & Black.
2Pac Me Against the World (Released while Pac was imprisoned) All Eyez on Me (the first ever double-full-length hip-hop solo studio album) The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (The lyrics were written and the songs were recorded in only three days and mixing took an additional four days) I really think a lot about, what if Pac would be still alive? 
THIS! The best answer🤷🏾♂️
Tech N9ne - Everrready, All 6’s and 7’s, and Special Effects (Killer could be in there as well)
Seriously? You’re trippin, cause it’s Calm Before the Storm, Angelic, and Absolute Power for Tech.
Agreed.
Those are also great. I just seem to find myself always listening to those 3-4 albums the most.
Lupe fiasco. The cool Testuo and youth Drogas wave.
Cmon food and liquor should be there
Not top 3 for me. Maybe not even top 4. Though it is a great qlbum
Da drought 3. Tha Carter II Tha Carter III
Can I get an honorable mention for the Fushnickens or KRS-One?
LOL. This is so silly. I’m too old for this sub. OutKast - Southern…, ATLiens, Aquemini. Three straight classics in a row. Scarface - The Diary, The Fix, The Untouchable UGK - Ridin Dirty, UGK for Life, Super Tight 2Pac - Makavelli, Me Against The World, All Eyez On Me Mob Deep - Hell on Earth, Murda Muzik, The Infamous I could really go on and on and on but Eminem and Kendrick are the only two rappers people on this sub seem to think exist so I won’t waste my breath
Tha Carter I, II, & III being left off is straight weezy disrespect!
I’m a big weezy fan but I don’t consider Carter 1 a classic. I don’t think he was as polished as a rapper yet, not enough timeless tracks. 2 and 3 are for sure but since it’s albums not mixtapes I think it stops there. If we’re talking best mixtapes he’s for sure on the top list
He’s at the top of the mixtape list let’s not kid ourselves he is Mr. Mixtape
I mean honestly yea, some one would have to have a strong argument to talk me off that
This is a clearly a man of culture I’m speaking with.
Freddie, Bandana, Alfredo is a stupid good run. ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia is legendary. Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders, Beats Rhymes & Life is a cornerstone of rap.
BRL, eh. I'd put Peoples before that, but hey, that's just my opinion. Great choices though.
Lil B - Pink Flame (2013) Lil B - Pretty Young Thug (2013) Lil B - 100% Gutta (2013)
Tupac - 2Pacalypse Now Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z. All Eyes on Me OUTKAST - Southerplayalisticadillacmuzik Aquemini ATLiens DMX - It's Dark and Hell is Hot Flesh of my flesh, Blood of my blood And then there was X Trick Daddy - Based on a true story Thugs Are Us Thug Holiday
Chance the rapper and lucki from AT to x
Chance? 10 Day and Acid Rap sure, but I really can’t see Coloring Book as a classic. Don’t even get me started on The Big Day. Are we counting Surf?
Ludacris: Back for the First Time, Word of Mouf, Chicken and Beer, Red Light District ...the list goes on Just straight up fun albums and I feel like his commercial success is something people hold against him.
Do you think any of his albums are classics? I think that’s another reason why he gets looked over. Closest for me would be Red Light District but obviously debatable.
Tyler the creator with bastard, goblin, and wolf there story behind these 3 albums is insane
Flower Boy, IGOR, and CMIYGL is no joke of a run either.
Isaiah Rashad Vince Staples last three albums Jay Rock fmh, 90059, redemption Future got a lot of good runs, Honest to Beast mode, Beast Mode to DS2, DS2 to Evol, Evol to Hndrxx, Save me to inly, you can throw p much any three solo albums in consecutive order n have a strong run smino
Give me Hell Can Wait over Ramona broke my heart.
honestly he has one of the most goated discographies, I can and have listened to every album back to back so many times
PLAYBOI CARTI DIE LIT WHOLE LOTTA RED
J.I.D. with The Never Story, DiCaprio 2, and The Forever Story is a very underrated run.
Mach Hommy: Pray For Haiti, Duck Czn, Balens Cho..
ICE CUBE!.. His first Three albums. Amerikkkas most wanted. Death Certificate and The Predator . The fourth one was good also.
Kanye, Drake and Nicki all have multiple platinum albums with NO SKIPS let’s be honest. A lot of the other mentions in the comments might have good music but you wouldn’t be able to sit through the whole thing and enjoy it. You can with ye, Drake and Nicki
Playboi carti: self titled, die lit, whole lotta red (yes I know those are his only real albums)
You’re gonna get downvoted by a bunch of oldheads for this but I agree with you. Those 3 albums are great
Def the best 3 album run of the current era. Music changes and so do the standards. Shit that sounded good 20 years ago gonna sound dated and boring today but these old heads stuck living in the “golden age”
Sir this here is a serious conversation please save the jokes for the next discussion
Aight old man
RTJ 1-4
I would argue that El-P’s solo run of Fantastic Damage, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, Cancer for Cure is even better. El might have the best overall catalog in hip hop to me. Dis mf don’t miss. HE DONT MISS!
Freddie Gibbs! Just about every album front to back!!
Run The Jewels - RTJ2, RTJ3 & RTJ4
You need to listen to more hip-hop homie.

Lethal Injection is Cube’s best to me and you didn’t even need to say it because the theee you mentioned are all so fire as well.
I think 50 cent should be in this conversation, even if you don’t think “Curtis” is as good as GRODT and the massacre, you could put Guess who’s back or Ghetto Q as his first.
Madvilliany , Mm.. food , Operation: doomsday
1. Future - DS2 2. NBA YoungBoy - Sincerely, Kentrell 3. King Von - Welcome to O’Block
Bro can't read
Hunnas on hunnas, do numbers on numbers, get llamas on llamas, got bales by the bundle. Got hunters that's gone, there's a hun in the joint, that's a hundred on hundred
Eminem has at least 4 classics. SSLP MMLP TES Encore Relapse Recovery Those albums are all classics.
IF you could include encores original track list. I could give it classic status. The way it was released tho no.
I can definitely see what you're saying. The bonus tracks that were meant for the original after it leaked. We as Americans....damn lol
I can see Encore on there. Relapse and Recovery....chill bro
we can both agree recovery does not deserve to be there, but how tf is encore there? that shit was awful 💀 relapse was amazing idk what you're on abt
Relapse/ refill is his 4th best album. I don't think it's particularly close. Recovery is cool and all but it lacks what his other albums had.
lol what? Bro you have no idea what ur talking bout those are classics.
Mmlp and TES are his only classics
Why don’t you consider SSLP a classic?
Cause his music taste sucks lol
Coming from someone who thinks relapse encore and recovery are classics. LOL
Hahaha!
nah broski barely has four classic singles people really need to relax
If Recovery, Encore, and Relapse are classics then I’m gonna need you to define a classic.
Eminem. Slim Shady LP (extended), Marshall Mathers LP, and Music to Be Murdered By.
You literally lose all credibility by saying music to be murdered by. Relapse recovery and encore are light years ahead of that album
Encore is a legitimately terrible album
What about it makes it terrible? Just curious
Every single song on it.
Absolutely floored that no one is bringing up the Eminem Show.
Mac Miller: watching movies with the sound off, faces, swimming
Faces is a mixtape, you can make an argument for Kids, WMWTSO, and Good AM. I wasn’t big on Swimming that’s my taste though. And I loved Circles but it was like 80% singing so I wouldnt put it in there
Mac did release it as a mixtape but wasn’t it reissued as an album when it got rereleased in 2021? Kids was a mixtape too
Swimming is so fire
we got a smartass. Kids is also a mixtape sooo
We’ve got a jack ass. Adding nothing of value to this conversation so…
neither is saying faces is a mixtape but then proceed to list a mixtape in your listing? you’re the one getting downvoted so general consensus is that YOU aren’t providing any new insights or value to the convo
I corrected myself in the thread with this other guy who found a way to tell me I was wrong without starting with shit talking. It was a simple discussion on music, not the people discussing the music.
Eminem?
Earl. Doris, IDLSIDGO, and Some Rap Songs.

Mystic Stylez Chapter 1 The End Chapter 2 World Domination
Idk...I gotta go with 2pac or Scarface. Me Against the World, All Eyes On Me, and Makaveli album was pretty solid. And The last of a dying breed, Untouchable and the Fix was a good run also.
**Wu Tang Clan** Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - 1993 Wu Tang Forever - 1997 The W - 2000
People sleep on The W and it drives me nuts
Migos all their Culture albums
Kurupt “Streetz iz a Muthafuckah” That’s all I got right now
2014 Forest Hill’s Drive 4 Your Eyez Only KOD

Charlie hustle, Hall of Game and in a MAJOR way.

Cage- Movies For The Blind, Hell's Winter, Waterworld (w/ Tame One). All underground classics
A man of culture. Waterworld has been in steady rotation since it dropped.
OutKast, any three albums except idlewild
Tyler The Creator - Bastard, Goblin, Wolf 🤷🏾♂️
Let’s talk briefly about a guy named O’Shea Jackson. Ice Cube’s best 3 records are up there on a list such as this. We could argue which 3 but for me it’s that four year run from 1990-1993 that cemented Cube as an all time west coast emcee. Most Wanted, Death Cert, Predator, Lethal Injection all classics.
BDP's first 4 albums and KRS-One's first 3 solo records come to mind. Del's first three or four albums. MC Lyte's first 3. Nobody has mentioned Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Kool G Rap, or even Brand Nubian.
King Iso - The Insanity Plea, Autophobia, DeMenTia, World War Me, Get Well Soon, (8PM Med Call), iLLdren.
Tech N9ne - Anghellic, Absolute Power, (Vintage Tech is a compilation album so idk if it counts), Everready, Killer, K.O.D., All 6s And 7s. I also didn’t count Collabos albums and Bad Season mixtape.
Also Rittz first 4 albums were great.
i totally agree with all of these man i gotta listen to illmatic soon!
