I’m Just Kicked Back Like Italics [Asia Born (Lyrics Born)]

Solesides Greatest Bumps

I’m Athletic, But Don’t Sweat It.

Lord Finesse. Almost missed that one. What a lyric!

N.A.S.A. “Spacious Thoughts” ft. Tom Waits and Kool Keith:

This is an awesome collaboration!

I drop off the head like dandruff and unlock mental handcuffs.

People often confuse rap with hip hop. Rap is an element of Hip Hop, but not Hip Hop itself. Hip Hop, as purists know, is composed of four primary elements: DJ Skills (Turntablism), Breakdance, MC skills (Rap), and the art of Graffiti. Other elements have been added over time to the culture of hip hop, including the “5th Element”, Skateboarding.

I think it’s good to categorize things. To be able to identify the elements that make up the whole. It’s important to have an analytical mind, after all.

So, let’s analyze and objectively answer an important question. What are the best rap albums ever? I have a few ideas, but you might know better than anyone else. Let the world know in the comments below. What are the best rap albums ever?

Measure by the following standards: lyricism, delivery, impact, and content.

• Lyricism: The vocabulary of the rapper. His words. His use of poetic devices within his words.
• Delivery: The flocabulary of the rapper. How does he say what he says? Timbre, tone, and rhythm should be addressed in this category.
• Impact: The reach and engagement of the rapper. Does what he rap matter? How has it mattered?
• Content: The stuff the rapper raps about. What is the message itself? Why would the rapper rap on this subject?

So what are the best rap ablums, ever?

Groupies say I’m Responsible for More Little G’s Than Gucci

Off Vast Aire’s “Best Damn Rap Show”

BusDriver demonstrating his unusual, incredibly technical MC skill yet again.

Awesome Lyric:

“kids if you really want to piss of your parents, buy real estate in an imaginary place”

Don’t miss Busdriver’s early collaboration with 2MEX off “Welcome to the Afterlife“, “Walking Dead”. That record is super rare and has some of the best evolutionary work from the LA rap scene available. Special props to the OMD track after it, “Mosh to Da Sun”
