RHH: The Top 10 Most Important/Influential NRHH Albums in Hip Hop History (Sampling-Wise)?

I've never seen how Illmatic or Ready to Die are influential....You're missing Slick Rick, BDK, and Kool G, therefore this list fails. All Eyez on Me, Liquid Swords, OB4CL aren't influential by any semblence, and Criminal Minded is more influential in general culture-wise (of the RHH audience) more than anything content-wise, production-wise, or rhyming technique-wise. Illmatic was more like a textbook east coast rap execution, stripped down jazz and soul sampling beats from amazing producers, rhymes style used great execution of ignoring bar lengths, content wasn't really generic, but not influential... Yeah, aside from those albums I can pretty much agree with the albums being on a list, if not necessarily the order or ranking...Outkast I don't know about being influential so much as being sonically innovative...the only group that I know that they have directly influenced would be Cunninlynguists though I'm not thinking too hard... Also, Run-DMC deserve a place on this list, they essentially created the way hip hop beats sound.

AC - I don't know about that, I've never heard it cited in such a manner. Enter the Wu-Tang was the first major album released featuring an updated rhyme style (that I don't believe has been surpassed), and Illmatic featured the same style. Though it wasn't as popular as Illmatic, it made billboard and had some charting singles.

From my understanding it was Wu-Tang that pioneered that new style, having come first. And about that influential albums after 1995, sure, I agree, but I don't think there were any albums that created huge movements that you can see in almost every single hip hop album like there were pre-95. Name any and say why you think so and I'll consider it, I'm not close-minded.

Oh, lol. Whatever then.

Pretty good but I think 36 Chambers should be way higher than #7. That album influenced Nas and Biggie. No 36 Chambers = No Illmatic or Ready to Die.

I think there should be more on this list like Mr. Scarface Is Back Ridin' Dirty Doggystyle Aquemini The Blueprint Resurrection.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
