Most people on the internet do it because they are corny sheep who dont really have people to converse music with irl, so they let internet nerds dictate their tatse for them and end up with a dull pallet for music instead of actually deciding whats good themselves and having a individualistic sense of art. -

#15 Lil Boosie & Webbie, Ghetto Stories (2003):
![[IMG]](http://leak.dougsinternetmar.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/9868.jpg)
The Clipse are widely considered the greatest duo to come out of the South during the 2000s, and not without reason. But their closest competitors are Boosie and Webbie, the cult heroes from Baton Rouge. Their first official collaboration, 2003's Ghetto Stories, is still their best: loose, hilarious, terrifying.
#14 Kendrick Lamar, good kid, m.A.A.d. city (2012) / Blu, NoYork! (2011/2013):
![[IMG]](http://i.imgur.com/yGxeHJR.png)

The Dre connections made fans and critics draw parallels between Kendrick Lamar and The Game. Blu was Kendrick before Kendrick--the cerebral L.A. native who was going to save West coast rap. But instead of staying the savior route, he went off the commercial rails for a variety of reasons; in doing so, his music got weirder, and better. Despite Blu's lack of standing in the scene, NoYork! is the best encapsulation of the city's beat movement: a confusing, confounding, frequently brilliant record. The next year, Kendrick lived up to the promise of Below the Heavens--and The Documentary--with his debut, the best commercial debut of the decade so far.
(A caveat: theGODleebarneslp, which Blu released as a single mp3 on his Myspace page in January 2010, would be in the top five of my list, but was excised due to its poor sound quality and the lack of a proper release.)
#13 Open Mike Eagle, Dark Comedy (2014) / Flash b--- Grenada, 10 Haters (2011):

Hellfyre Club doesn't exist anymore, at least not the way it did in 2014. That year saw acclaimed LPs from milo, Open Mike Eagle, Nocando, and Busdriver. The latter three are titans in the world of underground rap; 10 Haters paired Nocan and Driver in perhaps the most virtuosic record on this list. Mike Eagle's Dark Comedy is dense and intensely personal, ferrying you through rural highways and hotel rooms in the desert with jarring detail.
#12 Kanye West, The College Dropout (2004) / Cam'ron, Purple Haze (2004):

On the extended outro to "Last Call," Kanye cracks a joke about Dame throwing Cam on every song of his debut "to save the album." The Roc brass didn't have to do that, though a Dipset cameo might be the only thing The College Dropout is missing. While that record caused a paradigm shift in what mainstream male rap stars would become, Purple Haze moved Cam into an absurdist extension of his own reality. It's the creative apex of one of the most creative rappers to ever live, complete with one of Kanye's greatest cameos.
#11 Lil Wayne, Da Drought 3 (2007):
![[IMG]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516HIEQvY%2BL.jpg)
How's this for an anti-climax? Lil Wayne is probably the greatest pure rapper of the period in question--he certainly has the highest peak--but his best single work doesn't quite crack the top ten. Still, Da Drought 3 is a brilliant mixtape, and nearly every beat he touches here becomes inextricably tied to the borrower, with a handful of songs ("Dipset," "Ride 4 My n----s," "Live From the 504," "Upgrade U") that are singularly great in a way freestyles almost never are.

there's a huge difference between adopting g--- slang/fashion/imagery and actually joining a g---. (there's also a difference between joining a g--- and committing violent acts, but that's another discussion.) rap music plainly inspires some people, especially kids, to adopt the window dressings of g--- life, but "rap music" surely ranks very far down the list of reasons people actually join gangs. and if we go that route, we should also consider that there are plenty of kids for whom hip-hop––that is, being an active participant in some sort of creative scene––acts as an alternative to or deterrent from g--- life.Ordinary Joel, dester23, DKC and 13 others like this. -
