Your best album lyrically?

[oldie]

Whats ur best album based on lyrics alone?

IMO two of the best albums ive heard lyrically are
Wu- 36 Chambers
Eminem - Infinite

[INF]

Doom_ Born Like this

Edan _ Beauty and the Beat

GHostface _ Supreme Clientele


Ultramagnetic MC's _ the four horsemen

[Taskmaster2112]

I think "Liquid Swords" is lyrically better than "Enter the Wu-Tang". And, just because i've been listening to it nonstop the past few days in awe of his lyrical skill, i'm gonna put Kool G Rap's "4, 5, 6" on my list too.

[MaskedAvenger]

Oh man, so many that I wouldn't know where to start but just off the top of the dome some are... Here To Save You All, Resurrection, Moment Of Truth, Forever, Sun Rises In The East, Latyrx, Black On Both Sides, Doomsday, Illmatic, Stress The Extinction Agenda, Hope, Liquid Swords, Blackstar,

[Mai Wang Tu Phat]

Illmatic, bet you didn't see that one coming.
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Black on Both Sides

[Tommy]

[UncontrolledSubstans]

[sdeblasi]

Soul on Ice
First Come, First Served
Liquid Swords
Forever

some that come to mind

[Tommy]

Oh, and I thought this was pretty damn good lyrically wise. It's not for everyone's taste, though:

[Mumm Ra]

Beneath the Surface
The Pick, The Sickle and the Shovel

[Luz]

Either



or

[Frank Drebin]

no question in my mind Liquid Swords

[theDZA]

Liquid swords
the pick the sickle and the shovel
wu tang forever

are the first 3 that come to mind

[Dr Sleepwalker]

[angry!]

way up there... thug love story alone shatters most niggas careers!!!!!!!!


masterpiece... bar for bar, verse for verse!!!!!!!


if you dont have this... download it right the fuck now!!!!!!!!!


one of the finest mic performances of the 80's... i dont know that ANYONE has ever ripped dre beats at the same level as the D.O.C.!!!!!!!!!!!


theres not one suspect bar on the entire album... flawless verses, incredible concepts, classic hooks, and relevant content!!!!!!!!!


pick a track... any track... L bodies it!!!!!! nigga was putting every beat he rapped on to sleep!!!!!!!


rakim was the best emcee on the planet when this shit was released.. wasnt even really a question!!!!!!!!!


em killed every verse and his skillset was improved across the board... "stan", "kim", "who knew", "criminal", "the way i am"... tough to deny!!!!!!!!!


the ambition of ace never ceases to amaze me... the storytelling, concepts, punchlines, flows, masterful performance from one of the most slept on emcees of all time!!!!!!! ace came back sounding better than ever, the bars were incredible, and the honesty made it hit that much harder!!!!!!!!


when outkast truly became 2 different sides of the same coin... 2 different voices, with 2 different outlooks, coming together to make one picture!!!!!!!!!! andre and big boi assassinated this album... big boi is a serious wordsmith, every boi verse is quotable on ATLiens... and andre 3K established himself as one of the most uniquely talented lyricists in the game with it!!!!!!!!!!

i cant name a "best".. didnt see these mentioned, they deserve some shine!!!!!!!
