I've come to the conclusion that Mos Def's new album The Ecstatic is possibly the best rap album of all times. At least it's right there at the top.

Dude changed a lot, beats are dope (prod by Madlib, Dilla and others i think) but the lyrics are just lacking...
what ever happened to the "intelligent mc"?.

Love Supermagic's sample\beat and heres a big WTF for the No Hay Nada Mas track. Black on Both Sides kills this one, even New Danger just for the Close Edge song

.

IMO, of course, and as you know my opinion matters alot

.

Whats your top albums if i may ask?

Black Moth Super Rainbow - Eating Us

Lazy critic: Kind of a cross between Boards of Canada and Mercury Rev, especially with their new album produced by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Sparklehorse, etc.)

Fridge - Early Output (1996 - 1998)

Quite surprising how professional most of it sounds, given that most of the songs were recorded in a bedroom and they were only teenagers.

Hmm, never really got on with Mercury Rev or Sparklehorse but I do like the Lips and Boards of Canada. Of BoC's albums I've only heard the Campfire Headphase and Music Has the Right to Children. What do you reckon to their other albums as I heard Geogaddi was their best?

Well, in my opinion while his lyrics might not be quite as sharp as they've been before, they're still good enough not to care about it. Clearly better than average in my opinion. (Of course depends on what you see as average

) And everything else is simply amazing. The only problem is that some of the songs are just too short.

Although I've never been so interested in the lyrics if everything else is in order. Of course, if the lyrics are quite awful it will throw one off more or less, but then usually in those cases the song isn't that good either. I don't mind if each song doesn't try to change the world, you know?

I would've said just because the "Sex, Love & Money" song

(though obviously it's all excellent)

Well, that's a hard question, isn't it?

Let's see now (I'm most certainly going to miss stuff but I'm sure you don't mind... (also 'm sure you mean rap albums, as this gets soo much more difficult if I start thinking abou albums in general)
Well, pretty much anything from The Roots, can't really say what's the best of them (though my favorite rap song of all times is probably "You Got Me")
Then, as I said, Mos Def's The Ecstatic, I haven't really had a good enough listen to Black on Both Sidesto form a good enough opinion of it.
The Score by the Fugees, of course
From Jay-Z there's The Blueprint, The Black Album and, although most don't seem to agree with me (especially rating it over American Gangster), Kingdom Come
And I think I'll have to say 2001 by Dr. Dre

I really like Lupe Fiasco, probably my favorite rapper (maybe not The Best, (though up there) but my favorite) but I'm not sure if his albums as whole would rate among the best. Close, especially with Food & Liquor, but maybe it's that his producers mostly aren't among the best of the best...
Stuff that might've/could made the list: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Press Play by Diddy, a couple of albums from Eminem (at least The Eminem Show), Timbaland Presents: Shock Value, but I wasn't sure how much it still qualifies in rap

Talib Kweli - Eardrum (unfortunately still the only one of his solo albums I've heard), Pharrell Williams - In My Mind, Guru's Jazzmatazz, ATLiens is pretty good from Outkast... Oh, of course Blackstar.

Right... I'm sure I've forgotten something... Then again, I also haven't heard everything, surprisingly

UPtimist · 08-08-2009, 05:36 AM

Tom Waits - Strange Weather

Incredible song. Just incredible.

Now I'm watching Tom Waits' performance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien back when he was in San Francisco for a week. I don't even care about the music, the dust under his feet that he keeps kicking just looks so great

http://vimeo.com/5532728

(Edit): Ooh, that had the whole interview too! And a great one too, I might add

Geogaddi is a great album... definitely requires to be listened to as a whole album, as most of the tracks can't be listened to on their own.

Well, Kick, Push is obviously awesome. And Superstar... And many more

He's about the best lyricist right now.

But here's something totally incredible:
Child Rebel Soldier - Us Placers

You probably knew it... But you know what I think? They should finally get around to making that album.

Cool, I prefer listening to albums from start to finish anyway rather than shuffling or skipping tracks which sort of defeats the artists intention.
