I cosign on Mobb Deep (and yeah I'm recognizing Juvenile Hell this time, lol), MOP, BTNH, UGK, and ATCQ.

lol not Gza? you're the one person that likes Words From the Genius better than LS? haha

Gang Starr certainly fits the bill.

Geto Boys and Scarface both fit also, in my opinion. I'm sure there are some that would disagree.

Brand Nubian
Ghostface Killah
Cyne
dälek
K-Rino
Panacea

Co sign Geto Boys. That 1st album did have Face or Willie D on it. They have topped that album easily.

Don't agree with Face but I can see semi see it being debatable.

Co sign Ghostface, UGK, Gza, Mobb Deep, Outkast,and some others.

Gotta add:

Spice 1
DJ Quik
BDP
Poison Clan
T.I.
Ludacris
Big Daddy Kane

Public Enemy
Gangstarr
A Tribe Called Quest
Ice Cube
Nice And Smooth
Mobb Deep
Heavy D And The Boyz
The Roots
Kool G Rap And Polo
Masta Ace
The Lox


too name a few.......

Cube is a damn good pick.

Indeed/ I like Predator better than AMW, also

whole heartedly disagree with Ghostface and Scarface

I can see that for Ghostface via Supreme Clientele. IM & SC are neck and neck for me.
I was wondering why folks were co-signing GZA until I remembered WFTG (that was so disappointing).

Tribe
UGK
GZA
Mobb Deep
Gang Starr

BDP's best album is Criminal Minded...you all need to recognize.....lol

Me too.

....and Amerikka's Most Wanted smashes Predator like all of the athletes did Kim Kardashian...lls

i agree, Predator doesnt do that much for me honestly, compared to his first 2

T.I. and Luda's first albums were the best easily to me. Eat a bag o dicks.

That's assuming of course you are counting I'm Serious and Back For The First Time as their debut albums.

Whoa whoa whoa CANIBUS??? C Tru Hollywood Story? Are you serious bro? And you're disagreeing on SCARFACE? Smdh...

Here's a few that Slang didn't mention

Public Enemy (mentioned by Wayne)
Gangstarr (mentioned by Mystero)
The Roots
NWA (remember, NWA & The Posse was their official debut)
Common
Xzibit
T.I.
Cunninlynguists
Sheek Louch

Oh yeah, N.W.A., Xzibit, Common, and Sheek Louch are all good picks. I would also include Jadakiss.

Nah, I liked Kiss The Game Goodbye much more than The Last Kiss.

Don't agree with Cube, G Rap, or Ace. Their first albums are their best IMO.

Ice-T is another good pick

I disagree with Em, Ghost, and Face though. Bulletproof Wallets is my least fav Ghost album.

IMO

Del (even including Future Development)
The Beatnuts (whether or not you're counting the Intoxicated Demons EP)

I disagree with Del. I Wish My Brother George Was Here is his best album IMO.

Regarding G Rap KJ, you think Road To The Riches is better than Live And Let Die?

Yes I do, Wayne. Not by a large margin but I do feel that RTTR has more standouts. Both are classics though, as is Wanted Dead or Alive.

Nah, I liked Kiss The Game Goodbye much more than The Last Kiss.

On this one I was referring to Kiss Of Death. I like that one a little more than KTGG.

Understandable, but you asked which artists 2nd and 3rd albums are better than their 1st. I could see the case for Kiss Of Death, but not for The Last Kiss.
