Top 5 albums released in 1994

Lets get it started!

Nas- Illmatic
The Notorious BIG- Ready To Die
Scarface- The Diary
Common- Resurrection
Jeru The Damaja- The Sun Rises In The East

Hot damn 94 had some much classic material, and that list up top can change anytime. I rarely do honorable mention, but I gotta do it for 94.

Honorable Mention
Organized Konfusion- Stress: The Extinction Agenda
OC- Word Life
Outkast- Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
Big Mike- Somethin Serious
Gang Starr- Hard To Earn
Redman- Dare Iz A Darkside
The Roots- Do You Want More

"Illmatic"
"Ready to Die"
"The Diary"
"The Main Ingredient"
"Breakin' Combs"

Honorable Mentions (and I can't believe some of these have to be relegated here): "Word...Life," "Creepin on ah Come Up," "Resurrection," "Blowout Comb," "Regulate...G-Funk Era," "Thug Life: Vol. 1," "Southerplayalisticadillacmuzik," "The Sun Rises in the East," "The Most Beautifullest Thing In This World," "Stress: The Extinctin Agenda," "We Come Strapped," "Somethin' Serious," "Hard to Earn," "Dare Iz a Darkside."

Most of the honorable mentions would be top 5 in literally any other year.

91 - 96 are too hard to pick a top 5, i can't do it! ctrx honorable mentions proves that, full of classics

This is one of the worst years in mainstream hip-hop ever.

I can't pick a 5th one because this is another fav year of mine. Its a top 3 year for me. 91-92 and 94 and the best yrs in hip hop for me maybe. Willie D Play Witcha Mama, UGK- Supertight, Redman- Dare Iz, Bone- Creepin', Nas-Illmatic, Section 8 Mob- CDS, and a few more could easily be number 5.

I think it's pretty clear that Illmatic is the album of the year for 1994. Only Ready To Die and maybe The Diary come close.

Cosign.

Ready To Die is better than Illmatic IMO.

Both are classics, but I respectively disagree on this one.

1. Notorious BIG-Ready to Die (I'll give this album of the year. His only classic album)
2. Thuglife- Vol. 1 (Shit is mighty slept on, some of Pac's finest songs are on here)
3. Scarface-The Diary (His best album hands down imo)
4. Outkast-Southernplayalistcadillacmuzik (the funkiest of funk)
5. Warren G-G-Funk Era (This album got mad plays from me back than. An easy classic in my book)

Likewise, RTD is in my Top 5 of all time but Illmatic is #1

I prefer the production on RTD more and it easily reached higher highs IMO(Juicy trumps everything on Illmatic). I think it offers more variety while maintaining its cohesion, and this makes it far less boring.

SMH, I see nothing boring about Illmatic. Biggie's my GOAT so I definitely got love for him, but Illmatic is doper line for line IMO. Every track Nas spit on that album is a lyrical masterpiece.

Well, of course I cosign here regarding Illmatic. The words boring and Illmatic should NEVER be uttered in the same sentence.

Co-Sign! Anybody who think Illmatic is boring has no soul.

What was the point of saying "I think it's pretty clear that Illmatic is the album of the year for 1994. Only Ready To Die and maybe The Diary come close. "?

You yell at SRP for always bringing up Nas or whatever, and then you go and put a target on your back by doing the same thing.

Shut yo' young mouf when grown folks is talking!!

lol. Does a middle aged man making threats and baseless insults to someone on an internet forum because he doesn't worship the same rapper as said man indicate 'grown folks'?

SWEET JESUS MOTHERFUCKING CHRIST. Not once did i say Illmatic was boring, not one fucking time. You two need to step up your comprehension skills. KJ, this is the exact reason why you catch more shit than an outhouse, and Wayne, i'm hella disappointed in you.

Terry actually quoted his thoughts of "Ready To Die". He never said Illmatic was boring KJ and Wayne. I know you all are Nas stans but you gotta read what he says, before you put the onsluaght on him.....lol

Oh no, I never meant to come off as though I was bringing an onslaught against Terry. Never any controversy like that coming from me. Those were his thoughts, so basically what happened with me was I read that, and slightly took it out of context, that's all. No hard feelings.

See Kj, that's exactly why you get fucked with all the damn time. I explained why i like RTD more than Illmatic. I made a statement about RTD, and you took it to another level with your unfounded assumptions because you have an unhealthy addiction to defending Illmatic(even when a defense isn't needed). When you got called on it, you could have just manned up and admitted your mistake like Wayne, but you chose to be dickish instead. If that's how you want to be, that's on you, but you deserve everything that comes with it IMO cause you have no clue how to socialize with other people properly.

Blah Blah Blah, all I know is that you used the word "boring" when talking about the album....

You're the one that needs to man up and own your quotes. If you like RTD better that's fine, but "far less boring"? you could have used a better choice of words man. That's all I was saying. No need to be so dickish.

I'm sure you'll respond by cussing me out, and all of your boys on this forum and anti-KJ peeps are gonna come to your defense. But I'm at the point where I no longer care what people here think of me. People have antagonized me from day one for no good reason, and they're gonna continue to do it so I may as well continue to stand my ground. Say what you will about me, but I've never been phony or fake.

You have stood your ground KJ, I give you props for that. Most would have left or switched up. Glad you stayed.

Show me where i said Illmatic was boring. It's that simple. I can't help if you read more than what's there. That just speaks to what your state of mind is, and that's your problem.

"but I've never been phony or fake."



Fucking lies

That being said, you're out of line here KJ. Nothing wrong with admitting wrong and moving forward, we've all been wrong.
