Guest TEARZ Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Originally posted by platapie this is the most influental hiphop album ever. uhhhh, please dude. i love acey, probably my favorite rapper of all time, but most influential album ever? that's a joke. how can something be the most influential ever if most people have never heard of it, and it came out in 1997? who is it influencing? you can say a lot about that record, but "most influential?" sorry brah. if you wanna make that claim about an acey-involved album, it'd absolutely be "to whom it may concern." zesto and seeking, you two probably have the most decent lists on here. zesto, i agree with your choices, but i'd certainly subtract no more mr. nice guy. it just doesn't hold up with the others, and if i had to pick a gang starr, i'd pick hard to earn, but that's just personal. seeking, first 4 pe, no question. paul's boutique, eh, production wise yes... again, just personal... for me... on a strictly personal, "meant the most to me, defined my childhood" level: blacksheep "wolf in sheep's clothing" or "nwa and the posse." any attempt at an objective claim for #1 is useless, but it's interesting to see what people are saying.

Guest Porcheezee Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 most influential? paid in full. that album defined what rap has becaome in the last 15 years. of course we could go way back, but paid in full set hip hop up in the direction to make it what it is today, the uderground and the mainstream. damn near everyone's flow, whether they know it or not, is based on rakim's in one way or another. and don't get me started on the production...

Guest --zeSto-- Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Originally posted by --zeSto-- Paid In Full Criminal Minded Strictly Business to quote myself... Rakim (and to a lesser extent KRS, and lesser Kane) change HOW people rapped. Anything from before that seems incredibly oldschool. And the 36 Chambers changed the way we say the rap "group". It was the invention of "characters" in rap. Sure people had pseudo-names/styles, but the unity of the members and the sound was groundbreaking. but back to my first point... Paid In Full Changed the way Everyone Rapped. (but someone would have changed it if Rakim didn't, the time was right. Kind of like the Beastie boys did for white kids.)
