#940 Jay-Z – The Blueprint

I know that I do not like Jay-Z. I wish I could skip this album, but I made a commitment. I am not like my friends. The Blueprint was his sixth studio album. I do not like rap so this will be painful for me to listen to the whole album. I was correct-ish. The […]

#840 Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott – Supa Dupa Fly

Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott is a rapper. Her debut album Supa Dupa Fly was a financial and critical success. It was a redefining album produced by Timbaland. As I stated it a rap album or hip hop. Whatever. I am not a fan of the genre in general, but I am open to listening to it. […]

#823 Fun Lovin’ Criminals – Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin’ Criminals? I have never heard of them. I am not in the habit of listening to mafioso rap, but this album supposedly has a bit of everything thrown in. Their debut album Come Find Yourself was released in 1996. I kind of liked “I Can’t Get with That“. It reminded me a little […]

#811 Dr. Octagon – Dr. Octagonecologyst

Oh no, another rapper by a weird name Dr. Octagon. And you know that his debut album Dr. Octagonecologyst will be gross. I am so sick of the rap music on this list of 1001 Albums. OMG! This is definitely the worst rap album ever. It features a lot of scratching and a lot of […]

#794 Tupac Shakur – Me Against the World

Me Against the World is the third album from gangsta rapper Tupac Shakur. I honestly have zero interest in listening to him. But I will suffer through it. Trivia: He was imprisoned when the album was released. In my opinion, they should not be allowed to make money this way while in prison. Why does […]

#779 The Notorious B.I.G. – Ready to Die

The Notorious B.I.G. is another rapper who I have not heard and I wish I did not have to now. Ready to Die was his debut album and the only album to be released during his lifetime. As with many criminals, he was murdered. I have a problem with this type of artist. I do […]

#763 Nas – Illmatic

Nas? What is a Nas? I hope it is not rap. Why does it sound like a rapper’s name or group? Oh crap! It is hardcore hip-hop. His debut album Illmatic was released in 1994. What I discovered is that he uses multisyllabic internal rhymes. This is just another album filled with obscenities. If Nas had […]

#756 Method Man – Tical

Method Man‘s debut album Tical was released to a commercial and critical success in 1994. If you like hardcore hip-hop, then this is your genre. Method Man is a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. I have never heard of any of these songs and I hope to never hear them again. I am not a […]

#533 Run–D.M.C. – Run–D.M.C.

Run–D.M.C. is on the list? I hate rap, especially early rap or hip hop, except for the Beastie Boys and some Eminem. I will say it is definitely better than country music, except when the talk about their hoes, killing and drugs. Hopefully, their first self-titled album is the only one listed. I was going […]
