Pretty dope list. I feel a distinct dissatisfaction, but it's not my list so I would think that's natural. I'm gonna have to contend 64 though. Isn't The Music Scene and instrumental btw? As I recall I loved it, in any case.
Yeah people have mentioned a few titles which have made me see why I feel distinctly dissatisfied... Black on Both Sides is the biggest reason probably...
- Anonymous1 decade ago
Black on Both Sides
The Realness
Food & Liquor
Mr Smith
Reflection Eternal
Black Star
E 1999 Eternal
Amerikkas Most wanted
Soul on Ice
those are some I would add. But that list is great man Props to you.

No It Was Written?
And no 4 5 6?
or a GFK album?
And no Shad, Del, or Common up on there?
Good list, but some were left out in my personal opinion

is this in order?
I would add the following IWW, ,Be,Late Registration, LWFC, Hard to Earn, Hell on Earth, 4,5,6, Blackstar, Mm Food, Midnight Marauders, Donuts, Black on Both Sides, and there are a lot of others
Source(s): but you may have gotten some of these, and I just missed it - ?Lv 71 decade ago
nice to see Just-Ice in there - Cold Gettin' Dumb is such a track...
can't complain - although I'm surprised you didn't include Grits Art Of Translation album, I know you like that southern ****...
I'm re-adding you to my contacts, I thought the SouthieOG thing was a troll...
edit: I don't get the hate for Rip The Jacker - I think its his best album by far, Stoupe brought out the best in him...
- Big C.Lv 51 decade ago
I don't know how you can have "Moment of Truth" on there but not "Step In the Arena" or "Daily Operation". "Moment of Truth" is good, but it's not Gang Starr's best album.
Also, Legendary Classics Vol. 1 is a really great compilation of some of R.A.'s best tracks, but I wouldn't call it "classic" because it's not an album of original material.

How do you have Adventures in counter-Culture in there but you dont have 1988 in there.
I feel like 79-88 you just kinda threw in there.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
You have a great list bro, Most of the albums you included could be considered classics
But it might be to early to consider AICC a classic, but it is a great album
