Top 50 Hip-Hop Albums of ALL TIME 

was a little surprised with “Total Xanarchy” being placed in the number one spot but good vid nonetheless 👍🏽

Seeing Eminem's "Revival" at the number one spot was a massive surprise, but I can totally see why you put it there. Overall, a little sad you only put 2 of Eminem's albums in the top 10 (Revival at 1 and Music To Be Murdered By - Side B at 3), but a great list overall.

SPOILER: Top 10: 10 - DJ Khaled - Father of Asahd 09 - NAV - Brown Boy 2 08 - 6ix9ine - Tattletales 07 - Logic - Confessions of A Dangerous Mind 06 - EMINEM - Revival 05 - Chance The Rapper - The Big Day 04 - XXXTENTACION - Bad Vibes Forever 03 - Lil Xan - Total Xanarchy 02 - Bhad Bhabie - 15 01 - Lil Dicky & Brain - I'm Brain This is objectively the best list I've seen!

I respect you for not being affraid to show your own oppinion and i personally agree with the TPAB placement at 48 but i will say i was suprised by NAV's emergancy tsunami at number 1 spot

Putting “The New CALassic” by Cal Chuchesta at the number one spot was certainly an odd choice but I honestly agree with it. Cals bars and flow along with his angelic voice has definitely aged well.

Extremely surprised by Montero being your #1 choice but otherwise decent list

when he put illmatic on 45 i was done 😂😂😂

“Illmatic is extremely overrated” *puts WLR at #6*

Such a great video Abe ! A bit of a odd choice to see French Montana’s new album here , but non of the less good pick for tpab at 50 , deserves to be low kinda bad tbh , 👍🏼

Be by common is top 50 imo

WLR being at 6 is just a middle finger to every album here, keep up the good work

How tf is illmatic 39 spots behind whole lotta red. That is just a “fuck you” to the entire genre

Putting the Harverd Dropout at the 1st place was a little unexpected but otherwise great vid as always 👍

Abe I don't think you can put both Hall of Fame AND Hall of Fame 2.0 for top 1, but great video nonetheless!

1: Illmatic 2: 36 Chambers 3: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 4: To Pimp a Butterfly 5: Sobrevivendo no Inferno My top 5

I genuinely love how personal the list is if that makes sense, like it wouldn't be a fun video if we all agreed or it was made "objectively"

I was sad to see Illmatic so low, and a few others. But I agree that TPAB is the GOAT album.

A little surprised by the Tom McDonald EP at number 1 but good list nonetheless 👍

I'm really happy to see 'Flanotape' by Fredflan getting the respect it deserves in the number one spot!

Abe can you make a tier list about every HH album that came out this year?

I was shocked to see Astroworld at no.1 but overall great save with Kamikaze at no.7

having multiple NAV albums here was a surprise but I respect it Abe

when you said you were working on your top 50 albums, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite was a huge surprise to me at #1, although i completely agree!

How is this list somehow worse than Rolling Stone's top 200 hip-hop albums list

Top 50 features next pls

Glad to see “You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack” by Viper on the list and in the top 10. I thought you were joking at first (like most people on the internet who pretend to like it) but hearing you talk about the creative beats and Viper’s flow was definitely something I could agree on!

Damn I didn’t even know that NAV had 50 albums very brave list

So surprised to see Lil Pump Self Titled at #1

Good job for having Jesus is king at 1 Congrats!

Was surprised to see Certified Lover Boy on the number 1 spot but other than that decent list

didn’t expect you to have “The Big Day” at the number one spot but nice video 👍🏻

Huge respect for keeping it true to your feelings about these albums, I would personally throw some RTJ, Little Simz and Clipping in the list but great choices btw

I really didn’t expect to see “Fake Woke” by acclaimed rapper “Tom Macdonald” at number one, but nonetheless, great list!

I disagree with a lot of the placements, but I respect your opinion mainly just because you’re not trying to appeal to everyone and you’re just stating your opinion.

having 3 Tom Macdonald projects here was a shock abe

This list should be titled ‘My Favourite 50 Hip-Hop albums of all time’. Bit ridiculous to call it the 50 best albums of all time.

IM SO FUCKING HAPPY YOU PUT “SOME RAP SONGS” SO HIGH. IT LITERALLY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME AND LITERALLY GOT ME THROUGH PSYCHOSIS.

Putting I'll see you tomorrow by Tom MacDonald as the best hip-hop album of all time was very surprising to say the least

its always interesting seeing other peoples opinions on great hip hop albums and its so subjective that you can never really hate. i loved the diversity in your list, refreshing to see some different takes and I've got some new albums to listen to for sure. i did nearly click off when i seen illmatic at 45 tho hahaha, best album of all time imo alongside GKMC. The pure imagery and immersion i experience when listening to them two albums surpasses everything else. good video man just earned a new sub

How are people upset that Illmatic is so “low” like it’s still top 50 rap of all time that’s impressive

I was a little surprised to see "They got Amnesia" by French Montana as #1 but great list otherwise Abe!

this is prob one of the best lists ive ever seen and semetary and bladee are growing on me a lot but i already like death grips and stuff

Can’t really explain how heavily I disagree with list..BUT atleast you purring what you love and not trying to be “safe”. Respect and F it I’ll subscribe

the fact that you put “the big day” at 1 is suprising but good video 👍

This is unironically the best top 50 list on RU-vid

I’ve gotten into your account in the past 2 months and you have been a doing a great job keep up on the content

that solace description was too accurate

Having every nav album at number 1 is controversial but I respect your opinion

My top 5 5.illmatic- nas 4.college drop out-kanye 3.to pimp a butterflybutterfly-Kendrick 2.the eminem show- eminem 1. Recovery- eminem

I love these vids they are really fun to watch great stuff

Best new hip hop channel of 2021

Nice, now I can finally tell people what my top 50 albums are!

(Just my personal favorites) 15. XXX - Danny Brown 14. Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers - The Wu-Tang Clan 13. Illmatic - Nas 12. How I Got Over - The Roots 11. Graduation - Kanye West 10. Control System - Ab-Soul 9. Section.80 - Kendrick Lamar 8. Be - Common 7. Acid Rap - Chance the Rapper 6. The Blueprint - Jay-Z 5. ATLiens - Outkast 4. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West 3. Ready to Die - The Notorious BIG 2. To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar 1. Undun - The Roots

Thanks for showing love to the GAT. Love that work

Didn't expect TattleTales at the top spot but the video was good as always

man is thanking god that dislike button is turned off…

Illmatic at 45 instantly lost credit

Crazy bad list yo

we rocking with the drain and haunted mound picks

ILLMATIC AT WHAT!?

Great list. Very unique.

I was a bit suprised to see Lil Pumps new project “No Name” at number one Abe Quite frankly I didn’t even know he dropped

Do you even know who lil Wayne is

The most surprising to me was the fact that you actually included Tom mcdonald and the fact that you put his album above "the collage dropout" is so contreversial, but at the end its ur opinion

also as for steroids concept, the concept is mostly about mc ride dissecting what makes him who he is and why he acts the way he is, each parts lyrics goes deeper into this until the climax of the final song where he seems to embrace absurdity especially with the repeatment of the phrase "and i move with it"

Awesome list, I'd go with... 1. Jedi Mind Tricks - Violent by Design 2. Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein 3. Illogic - Celestial Clockwork 4. Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus 5. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) 6. Nas - Illmatic 7. Madvillain - Madvillainy 8. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing..... 9. J Dilla - Donuts 10. The Roots - Illadelph Halflife 11. A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders 12. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... 13. GZA - Liquid Swords 14. Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst 15. Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 16. The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die 17. Aceyalone - Book of Human Language 18. Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda 19. Juggaknots - Clear Blue Skies (Re:Release) 20. Freestyle Fellowship - Innercity Griots 21. Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet 22. Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow 23. Quasimoto - The Unseen 24. Souls of Mischief - 93 'til Infinity 25.OutKast - Aquemini 26. Smif-N-Wessun - Dah Shinin' 27. CunninLynguists - A Piece Of Strange 28. Busdriver - Temporary Forever 29. Oliver Hart (Eyedea) - The Many Faces Of Oliver Hart 30. The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde 31. Goodie Mob - Soul Food 32. Mos Def - Black on Both Sides 33. Typical Cats - Typical Cats 34.

Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days... 50. Dr. Dooom - First Come, First Served

cant believe he put “angelic 2 the core” at the number 1 spot but i honestly agree good stuff 👍

People fail to realize how important playboi carti starting to become

Even tho I disagree with you some time I love watching you. Keep it up brother 🤘🏼

Man these white boys really getting outta hand

such a good list, massive W for thot breaker, jeffery, gluee and honestly everything else

You cant make a whiter list

So you think whole lotta red is better than dark Twisted fantasy? That's Just objectively wrong

So you think Whole Lotta Red is better than Dark Twisted Fantasy? That's just objectively wrong.

Super interesting list but a few missed albums off the top of my head, ready to die, low end theory, donuts, any denzel curry album,igor,tupac,rakim,the roots

Rodeo CRIMINALLY underrated on this list.

HUGE W ILY ABE

abes comment section is turning into fantanos

13:24 much respect, tell em! it’s pretty annoying when people say “oh so ___ is higher than ___!! 😡” but it doesn’t mean they dislike the other album, it just means they have a certain liking to one album over another. they act like they don’t have an unpopular opinion (and if they don’t, that’s pretty sad). 😐

u should do ur top 20 non hip-hop albums

Aight now you gotta do top 50 hip hop SONGS!!!! ABE READ THIS

JPEGMAFIA carried this list

illmatic at 46?

Change title to " "My" top 50 hip-hop albums of all time"

My top 10: 1. Eminem- Marshall Mathers LP 2. Kendrick Lamar- To pimp a butterfly 3. Kanye West- The college dropout 4. Death grips- The money store 5. Dr. Dre- 2001 6. Asap Rocky- Long live asap 7. Brockhampton- Saturation III 8. Danny Brown- Atrocity exhibition 9. Travis Scott- Rodeo 10. OutKast- Stankonia

My man clowning

DO NOT let the guy who runs the Hip Hop Universe Channel see this list

#1 In my opinion, because I'm from the east side of Detroit and I can relate...Compton's Most Wanted Music To Driveby is my favorite

Damn MF DOOM > this whole list

Someone please tell me he's joking. illmatic at #45 and whole Lotta red at #6?

White

Was a little confused when you placed “folklore” by Taylor Swift in the no.1 spot but still a pretty good list.

I completely disagree with Some Rap Songs being over Good Kid, m.a.a.d city... Otherwise a decent tier list. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

15:33 wait so what’s the first half called?
