Don’t get too hung up on the rankings either, this list is intended for nothing more than to have you and others think and talk about the music we all love, to keep the classics alive, and to celebrate those classic as well as the excellent Hip Hop music released in more recent years. So here you have it, this is our list of what we consider to be the best 250 Hip Hop albums of all time. Let us know if you feel we erroneously omitted albums (and also which albums you’d drop from the list if you’d add others). The legendary Roots crew can boast one of the most consistent and most impressive catalogs in Hip Hop, ever. Their only disappointing effort is their eleventh album And Then You Shoot Your Cousin (2014), their previous ten albums are all simply excellent. At least five of their albums are near-flawless – Illadelph Halflife (1996), Things Fall Apart (1999), Game Theory (2006), Rising Down (2008) and Undun (2011) – and How I Got Over definitely belongs up there with the Roots’ best as well. Black Thought is good as ever, bringing out his deepest thoughts and observations. The featured artists deliver to – it’s especially nice to hear the likes of Blu and Phonte on a Roots album, also good to see an appearance by Dice Raw. Standout tracks include “Now or Never” (featuring Phonte and Dice Raw), “Dear God 2.0” (featuring Monsters of Folk), the title track “How I Got Over” (featuring Dice Raw). Eclectically musical as always, How I Got Over is another Roots winner.Ģ47.
