Deltron 3030 is at 4? Fail

[hotnikks]

nice!

[Dr. Simon Hurt]

Decent list

I feel like Deltron should be 1, and Minstrel Show is only considered a concept album because of the skits, the songs themselves hardly address the subject, it's not like it was an audio version of Bamboozled. if that's a concept album then every Doom album is.

Bobby Digital in Stereo should have made the list

[Dr. Simon Hurt]

The concept to is loose as fuck, though. His first 3 solo albums also recycle the narrative arc that I guess he was trying to do as far as Bobby evolving into RZA, with Birth of a Prince probably demonstrating it most effectively, even though it's the weakest of the 3.

Agreed. Not sure of this is a list of the best albums that happens to be concept albums or if it's a list of the best executed concept albums. If it's the latter I definitely think Deltron deserves to be on top. If it's the former I'd personally put A Piece of Strange on top, but I still think Deltron would be my number two (at least out of this list).


Surprisingly good list anyways.

brotha lynch hung should have been higher.

[Flowmingo]

Sticky Fingaz should be at the top...

12RTD is a modern Wu classic in my book. Second was a letdown. Peace

The 'rapping' on 12 RTD could have been done by a 10 year old. Some of the most boring bland lyrics and rhymes ive heard in a long time. It was like he wrote a story book for teens and decided to put those words to music but used the most basic English so non English speakers could understand.

Beats were dope tho. Such a waste.

Yeah, this is a top 5 hip-hop concept album for sure. Your post got me to give it a spin and I forgot how good it is. I feel like this and King Gheedorah always get overlooked in Doom's discography for some reason. Even the shitty sequel to Vik that Doom did for cash is worth it for 'Ode to Road Rage' alone.
