Gravediggaz were Prince Paul,Rza,Frukwan and Too Poetic and were probably the pioneers of the horrorcore sound. 6 Ft deep[******] released in 94' is their best album IMO.Probably the some of the heaviest production work Prince Paul has ever done and the lyrics are pretty dark as well.

hip hop is all about the singles. i cant even think of a hiphop album thats solid all the way through. better spend your money of 30 or 40 hits than albums that are half filler.

who are those djs that put together mix tapes for each year in hip hop from 1979-2000> theyre all posted for free online some where. do a search.

sorry but i totally disagree with you on this...I think some of the best albums to listen to from start to finish exist within hip hop...too many examples to choose from but de la soul, tribe called quest, beastie boys, cypress, roots manuva etc. have all made albums like this...plus all the other ones people have metioned...

you must have low standards. I cant think of an album from de la soul, tribe called quest, beastie boys, cypress, roots manuva that matches your description. dela and quest are very spotty. the first side of the first cypress is tight. dont remember license to ill but cant think of another bboys album anywhere close to being solid. dont know roots man - he has a strong voice but his lyrics never did anything for me. the first wu album has nice skits and a nice tone but they never made good on teh lyrics. half the first gravediggaz is good. illmatic has like 3 good cuts. ready to die (the unreleased uncensored vers) has a few good cuts. the geto boys second album (the first released by def american) has a strong side, same with eze's solo, and ice cubes first solo. dr octogon or the first ultra have a lot of good cuts. the first eric b and rakim the first epmd & jungle bros have hella good cuts.

but at a time where you can buy tracks ala carte - f buyign hip hop albums. sorry

top 3 hiphop albums...ever!
