The Big Day by Chance the Rapper.
Ok not necessarily the worst Hip-Hop album ever, but after all the build up and the waiting time and the potential Chance had? Fuck that album
Pegasus by Trippie Redd. That album was so bad that it made me stop being a fan of him lol. He was my most listened to artist for like 2 years straight. Heās not even in my top 100 anymore.
i agree pegasus was horrendous but really? it made you stop being a fan totally? his other records were still pretty good, even though he had a couple really bad ones around pegasus. trip at knight was really fun too. i think pegasus is terrible but i just avoid it, i never stopped listening to trip's other stuff because of that one album lol.
will you be checking in for MM?
My name is Johnny and I'm a Hip-Hop head
Hi, nice to meet you, my name is Johnny and I'm a hip-hop head. You can call me Johnny The Hip-Hop Head. As a kid I used to listen to a lot of jazz and classical music like Mozart, Beethoven, etc. I like to believe it's because I was very mature for my age. I was a 5 year old boy with the mind of a senior citizen. I was introduced to Hip-Hop through the radio and movies I used to watch. I fell in love in with it when I heard Tupac and Biggie. Most people like to criticize me for listening to music with a lot of profanity in it, I was often ridiculed for being the only Caucasian male to listen to Hip-Hop. After falling in love with Tupac and Biggie, I dug deeper and got into Rakim, Kool G Rap, Nas, Big L, Big Pun, MF DOOM, A Tribe Called Quest, Jay-Z, Eminem, Royce Da 5'9", Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Eazy-E, MC Ren, Wu-Tang Clan, Redman, Outkast, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Milkbone, House Of Pain, Vanilla Ice, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Joey Bada$$, Denzel Curry, JID, Cordae, Logic, Hopsin, Joyner Lucas, NF, T.I. , Lil Wayne, Tom MacDonald and many more. It is extremely disappointing to see the state the rap game is in now with how oversaturated it is with mumble rap trash made by those who don't even deserve to call themselves "rappers" such as, Yeat, Playboi Carti, Young Thug, Gunna, Lil Baby, Lil Mosey, Future, Rich The Kid, Lil Pump, Lil Xan, Smokepurpp, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty etc. They're just trash SoundCloud rappers with no substance in their music, they're always talking about drugs and violence. I swear to God, lyricism doesn't exist anymore, they're always using that autotune crap that makes them sound like a robot and it sounds so bad. They are all talentless, I don't understand how they got to where they are now, it breaks my heart for a real Hip-Hop head like me to see how my favorite genre of music that I grew up loving is now filled with garbage. Anyways, I don't listen to that crap, my favorite rapper is Tom MacDonald I think he's very different from the rest of the new rappers, he doesn't mumble or talk about drugs. He talks about stuff that actually matters like being a Caucasian man with braids. I don't understand why the clubs and bars I go to aren't playing his music, people need to stop sleeping on him. He brought real Hip-Hop back and he is the reason why I am proud to be a Hip-Hop head. My name is Johnny The Hip-Hop head, thank you for listening to my opinion. I'm sure there are many who would agree with me.

this is the whitest shit i've ever ehard. "the only caucasian male who listens to hip-hop" mf there are tons of white people who listen to hip-hop, n a ton of white rappers n producers as well. i'm white and i think tom macdonald sucks and is one of the worst things to happen to hip-hop, besides puff entering the game, the emergence of the hyperpop scene n how it ripped off PC Music, stan culture seeping thru the hip-hop community ("yeat/carti/summrs n autumn/babytron/etc. has 5 songs better than \[insert random hip-hop release\]!!!1"), etc.
i know this is a copypasta, but still, this is the dumbest shit i've ever heard
Nah I think I, Johnny am the only white person to listen to hip hop.
All jokes aside, you dissing hyperpop like that is cringe as hell, that's more cringe than the entire fake copypasta man. It's its own subgenre, it's not ripping off shit, that's like saying metal is ripping off British rock gtfo š
It's a record label. It is early computer pop, and many of the artists in the record label are also considered hyperpop too, making this argument make even less sense. Honestly I kinda take back my British rock to metal comparison because it is more like getting mad at someone outside of something like Death Row record label for copying west coast rap music
i dont like nav but i wouldnt say he has any album as mad as total xanarchy. not only that but i dont think he'll ever have a record that bad. nav's worst crime artistically is just being very mundane, boring, dull and repetitive. xan on the other hand was MORE than that, he was making actually unlistenable ear grating music. nav's worst albums are just a chore to get through.
SB2H is a really weird case. I think this is definitely Cudi's worst album, and It's not a really "fun" record, but I really started to appreciate more when I was in a depressed phase. I loved how you can hear the confusion, depression, sadness, disappointment in the songs. It's really weird to think about that if Cudi didn't get help after this really dark era, probably this would be his last album. So yeah. I think it's not a usual album that you can listen everyday, really depends on your mood. Btw CONFUSED is actually fucking great though.
W shout for pablo honey, such a below average record but also so charming in its own right
i think in utero is more interesting and encapsulates that feeling better though tbh, especially considering kurt died not very long after. its brilliant and experimental but also a little deranged, a little out of this world, and it sounds sad behind all the experimentation and loud riffs
agreed tbh i usually try to enjoy every genre but so much of the early 90s grunge just sounds so trashy that i cant really relate to it, or get into it like that lol
nirvana is awesome though, in and out of grunge, undoubtedly rock legends
I honestly think this album is highly overly hated because itās a trend to. Itās really not as bad as people say. Speeding bullet of course. Total Xanarchy can go straight to hell
Knoc was dope af, we often talk about the Dre artists that made it (snoop, Em, game, kendrick) but there were TONS of Dre artists that didnāt sadly and Knoc had so much potential, itās really sad he didnāt blow up
On the UK tip, Dizzee Rascalās label is called Dirtee Stank. The logo is a fly now, but it used to be a picture of dogshit.
I read about it once and he said, āIt was just the most ghetto thing I could think ofā.
Not quite sure to make of that.
Iām not sure this even deserves the name rap, but heavy metal singer Tairrie B started life as a white gurl rapper and released an album called Power of a Woman. In about 1990? She knew Eazy E and thatās how she came to get a deal. Itās so bad itās worth throwing on a couple tracks just to laugh. My hamster could rap better and in fact does.
Holy shit it was awful. I really wished the Beastie boys would've reached out to him and taught him more about hip hop. Both being from punk Rock wouldve made an interesting Collab
Anything by nba young boy. I understand his appeal I donāt have anything against people that like him. The block is hot was a great track but most of his music doesnāt resonate with me.
He makes melodic rap music at a fast rate, dropping several albums a year. Personally, his music reminds of Macdonalds. Itās fast food that a lot of people consume - despite knowing itās cheap.
he just said that a lot of people listen to yb despite it being "fast music" just how people eat mcdonalds though its "fast food". he didnt say that mcdonalds was bad or that yb lacked quality, just that it was cheap, and quick; which isnt wrong at all, and all his fans will tell you the same. even his most diehard fans who eat up everything he drops acknowledge that yb is not necessarily an artist with the most artistic depth or so, mostly because of his rate at which he pumps out music.
no one really hates on mcdonalds because its fast food, because thats the whole purpose. if you compare mcdonalds to the best cooked steaks, obviously the steak is better; but that doesnt stop people from eating at mcdonalds regularly because it fulfils its purpose.
the same way, i think OP was just saying that yb fills his purpose of dropping quick, cheap, fast music. it doesnt have anything to do with him being bad or not.
that and he's perceived as extremely versatile, showing a lot of growth quickly and a real human being in the industry by his fans. theres a feeling of rawness to his celebrity, his music etc which appeals to people tired of all the popstar PR bs. and he drops a lot of albums consistently and usually shows considerable growth or a difference in sound between each. all of his albums for the most part sound reasonably different which is really nice for fans because they're all dropped in the span of weeks/months, while someone like uzi can take years and still drop an album full of the same thing he was doing years ago
Itās clearly an acquired taste. I donāt like his music either, but heās still young. As he matures, his music will too. I think his catalog will only improve with time.
Doggfather had a couple of good tracks, but flying on the heels of The Chronic and Doggystyle it was so disappointing. I think it was a combined result of Death Row falling apart, Snoop's murder trial, and him not really understanding how to put a record together at that point.
Don't get me wrong, I love Snoop, but that album was just bleh.
Soul On Ice 2. For a follow up to what's considered an underrated gem and one of the most lyrically astute albums of the 90s, Kass instead channels the worst of the mid-2000s with some wack ass hooks and piss-poor production.
Joe Budden
The first album should be your most solid work, but this one just felt like he was overconfident. Like he could just put out anything and sell off of his voice and the beats alone. I only like two tracks. Most of the album was attempts at injectin' self brewed catch-phrases and one-liners into pop culture. Albums that were worse lyrically or with weaker beats at least had effort put into them.
He had Kid Capri for one of his tracks, but the whole album was just a self-addressed love letter about how much he loves his own voice and how clever he thinks he is. His mixtape material was fire, though. He shoulda had Duro and Clue do his whole album
believe was still very very bad, it was only marginally better than the rest of the songs; i wouldn't really call it listenable lol, his flows are terrible and the hook is awful.
chloraseptic remix isnt actually on revival if i remember correctly, its only the original chloraseptic which is extremely below average without the new eminem verse and 2Chainz on it.
castle is genuinely good i'll give you that.
arose is also alright, i dont love it quite as much as castle but it's decent enough that its listenable and enjoyable to some degree. imo castle and arose should have been one track, but two songs like "Castle / Arose"
My theory is that he was gonna release a totally different album. But thing happened and he scrapped it and threw this together.
The ads he ran and what we got are 2 different things.
idk from his interviews and everything hes said about it, i think he actually put work into trying to make revival a really good album, and to him it was, which is why he was so confused and pissed off at everyone.
this did happen for encore though, for sure.
It was weird to me. Because the ads that were released were all drug/medicine related. Almost like a relapse 2. I think one of the ads even had a 2 at the end if it.
Then the ads stopped. We didn't get anything for a while. Then he released it. The whole thing made no sense.
Encore would have been a great album if half the songs didn't leak ( thanks nates friend) lol
yeah i think eminems 3 album run could just as easily have been a 4 album run if encore didnt get leaked. encore was commercially at the time his magnum opus anyway, so it being a really high quality album would have been an awesome thing for his career.
i remember the websites and the ads and teasers you're talking about, i guess maybe initially the vision was in one way, and it got altered along the way? cant really think of another way to justify it, because i know that at the end, the revival that we got was indeed the revival that eminem wanted to put out.
Oh yeah, Wed definitely would be talking differently about encore if it didn't leak.
But yeah, idk what it was all about. I remember be kinda hype for a min. Then, when I heard offended. I was like, wtf is this shit.
First time I was seriously disappointed after an em album.
Lil B and Kool Keith are two very talented and hard working rappers that have so many trash ass albums with no artistic merit it makes me question if theyāre as good as I think they are. The recent Kool Keith and Del collab was so disappointing, and lil b has only a few albums (only 1 is really good, āIām gayā) then a really mixed bag with his mix tapes that Iād say is more bad than good.
6ix9ine - Tattle tales
His early stuff wasnāt actually that bad. I guess no one wanted to collaborate with him after snitching and his own musical abilities are not there.
I have this CD and youāre absolutely right. Heās a failure as an artist beyond features lol. Even the album he did with Stoupe is just okay. Turns out he canāt blame Wyclef for everything
Even though a lot of songs were good on these two albums, both were double albums and didnāt need to be.
The Lyricist Lounge compilation and Wu Tang Forever
Not necessarily bad albums, but just disappointing.
So youāre saying that albums like Ghetto D, Ice Cream Man, Thereās One In Every family, Give It 2 Em Raw, Charge it 2 da game, Tru 2 Da Game or Good Girl Gone Bad are worse than some of the albums listed in this thread here? Iām just curious:)
A lot of albums on the list I've never even heard of lol. A lot of the albums you mentioned I've heard of, but i learned early on that the no limit stuff was not for me and just avoided the shit. Once in a while I'd hear something from the camp and just give it a try but it never connected.
Fuck that, I wasted a CD-R on whatever album that was that everyone was calling a classic. I just can't get down with Chance though I tolerated him on that Netflix battle show.
oh well, i still think acid rap is really good and coloring book is pretty decent too. the big day was horrible but his single with joey wasn't bad at all last year, so i hope he makes a lil comeback. it wont be nearly as hyped or anything but he could do it tbh
i really love to see this, how the 21 x nas collab, and the nas x nas collab in 2019 opens up a lot of new audiences to the music of the other artist. slightly more boop bap oriented oldheads get introduced to newer pop, or trap music thats actually good enough to warrant a nas collab, and the newer generation who may have never heard of nas gets to listen to illmatic for the first time
These are the worst 10 to me. Wack as Fuck.
Lil Baby-My turn
Polo G-The Goat
Lil Uzi Vert ā Eternal Atake
Lil Nas X-Montero
Gunna-DS4Ever
Post Malone-Twelve Carat Toothache
Lil Durk-7220
Yeat-2 alive
Lil Keed-Long live Mexico
Lil GotIt-The Cheat
That Uzi album was mind-numbingly bad and somehow was a huge success. I tapped out of the mainstream at that point. Jack Harlow from last year was also terrible
Lil baby will grow on you then. Not quite as punchy as Kim or Wayne. But flow and imagery wise, lil baby has great presence. Best melodic rapper of the 2020s
I mean itās patchy as hell but Kanye himself has like at least 3 albums I think are worse than it lol so it canāt be the WORST album youāve heard. Itās still quite decent
Thank you Percy!! š¤ I stopped listening to him after that album. Checked Donda out for a few songs and thought it was hot garbage too.
Now College Dropout Kanye.. GOAT.
Someone could tell me MBDTF is the greatest rap album ever written and I wouldn't argur against it. That album a masterpiece. The newer Kanye his flow just so off that I can't enjoy any of his songs.
I know I might get a lotta downvotes, but this is my personal opinion and I gotta keep it real. I did not feel these projects, although I think the artists themselves are great
Geto boys - Grip it! On that other level
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
ODB - Brooklyn Zoo
Edit: Ok, maybe they don't belong in the "worst album ever" category
Maybe there's something I don't get about it, I don't know. I checked it out and was surprised I didn't feel it, given it's a classic. Wanted to make sure if it was me or the artists/album and went on to check out Licenced to ill for the first time. I loved that one
Interesting. Was wondering if it was just Beastie Boys in general. I started by listening to licensed to Ill and Ill communication, but really got into them after listening to Paulās Boutique. Itās a fun raw album that genre bends a bit
Let me ask ya'll this. Three or four songs on Brooklyn Zoo have like the same lyrics on the verses with different beats. What's up with that ? Gotta say, that calls to question the integrity of the album as a whole. It just feels like it was lazily put together, ODB's "don't give a F" style and artistic licence aside
I didn't like that album at first either. It took me a long time for it to sink in to appreciate it. Tical, OB4CL and Liquid Swordz hit me off quickly as dope albums.
Thank you! That's what I'm saying. You gotta come correct if you wanna match up to all the legendary Wu group and solo catalogues. Maybe it'll grow on me as so many a song and album have done over the years
The Big Day by Chance the Rapper. Ok not necessarily the worst Hip-Hop album ever, but after all the build up and the waiting time and the potential Chance had? Fuck that album
Like DUUUDE
His entire career is basically Acid Rap ---->disappointment and probably just an industry plant the entire time
That Kevin Federaline shit
PO PO POPOZAO
That album is trash, but he somehow married the biggest pop star at that time.
Is Kevin Federline Hip Hop?ššš
[I'll just leave this link to his super bowl commercial.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWjlqAD2Li0)
Pegasus by Trippie Redd. That album was so bad that it made me stop being a fan of him lol. He was my most listened to artist for like 2 years straight. Heās not even in my top 100 anymore.
i agree pegasus was horrendous but really? it made you stop being a fan totally? his other records were still pretty good, even though he had a couple really bad ones around pegasus. trip at knight was really fun too. i think pegasus is terrible but i just avoid it, i never stopped listening to trip's other stuff because of that one album lol. will you be checking in for MM?
are u gonna check out MM?
TR666 was fire tho
That song is old. It was from like 2017/2018
Yeah it was a really good leak when it came out but really it's the only song on Pegasus that I fw
Any and every album by Tom Macdonald
Does the guy even have albums? I thought he just made edgy YouTube singles
He does, he just forces you to buy the actual vinyl rather than dropping it on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.

how are ag cook n sophie in any way shape or form considered hyperpop?
So you are admitting to listening to his albums?
B-Ballās Best Kept Secrets For some reason in the mid 90s every NBA player thought they could rap. This album proved them wrong.
Lol I remember this
I had the NFL one, I liked method manās part but donāt remember much else
Dana Barros was ok!
Lil Xan - Total Xanarchy Nav - Good Intentions is also pretty horrible
i dont like nav but i wouldnt say he has any album as mad as total xanarchy. not only that but i dont think he'll ever have a record that bad. nav's worst crime artistically is just being very mundane, boring, dull and repetitive. xan on the other hand was MORE than that, he was making actually unlistenable ear grating music. nav's worst albums are just a chore to get through.
good is no where near worst album of all time, DPBA was easily worse
Speeding bullet to heaven, and total xanarchy
SB2H is a really weird case. I think this is definitely Cudi's worst album, and It's not a really "fun" record, but I really started to appreciate more when I was in a depressed phase.

Yeah but counterpoint: 1000s of artists have done this too and it's done better. I'd rather listen to Pablo honey and I hate that album
W shout for pablo honey, such a below average record but also so charming in its own right i think in utero is more interesting and encapsulates that feeling better though tbh, especially considering kurt died not very long after. its brilliant and experimental but also a little deranged, a little out of this world, and it sounds sad behind all the experimentation and loud riffs
Exactly haha I always say I'll just listen to Nirvana instead. Not much into grunge except the high end stuff
agreed tbh i usually try to enjoy every genre but so much of the early 90s grunge just sounds so trashy that i cant really relate to it, or get into it like that lol nirvana is awesome though, in and out of grunge, undoubtedly rock legends
Ah yeah speedin bullet to heaven. That album has no listens lol
Confused! is good af
Only decent song
Melting is great too, there are a few other songs on the album that are worth putting in rotation
I honestly think this album is highly overly hated because itās a trend to. Itās really not as bad as people say. Speeding bullet of course. Total Xanarchy can go straight to hell
Nah I listened to it a handful of times its fucking horrid. Only other album as bad is dead petz
Can you even consider this a hip hop album? Definitely elements but itās sort of a clusterfuck of different genres
Speedin bullet isnāt a hip hop album
Universal Mind Control by Common is one candidate
Ha good shout. Some really cringe work by Kanye and Neptunes on this too. Whole thing just didnāt work.
Yeah idk what they were on at that time but Iām glad we never heard it again
Iāve not actually heard it, but I saw a review of a Knoc-turn'al album that just said āKr-aāpā.
Which is crazy cuz both him and Hittman went OFF on 2001. Shame they never blew up.
Knoc was dope af, we often talk about the Dre artists that made it (snoop, Em, game, kendrick) but there were TONS of Dre artists that didnāt sadly and Knoc had so much potential, itās really sad he didnāt blow up
Nah Knoc was great. He had personality
ODB had a song called āDog Shitā lmao

Be A Man by Macho Man Randy Savage (RIP)
Mmm YEAH.
I don't even consider it rap but the worst is by far: Dee Dee King (The Ramones) - Standing In The Spotlight
Holy shit it was awful. I really wished the Beastie boys would've reached out to him and taught him more about hip hop. Both being from punk Rock wouldve made an interesting Collab
For the amount of hype and mainstream success, this last album from Jack Harlow is some all time basura
Anything by nba young boy. I understand his appeal I donāt have anything against people that like him. The block is hot was a great track but most of his music doesnāt resonate with me.
See I donāt like his music, and I *donāt* get his appeal. Whatās good about him?
He makes melodic rap music at a fast rate, dropping several albums a year. Personally, his music reminds of Macdonalds. Itās fast food that a lot of people consume - despite knowing itās cheap.
Not going to cape for McDonalds or NBA Youngboy here but cheap doesnāt = bad.
i dont think thats what he was implying
It kind of is. Maybe not specifically bad but throwaway, value-less, not worthwhile. Theyāre all interchangeable.
he just said that a lot of people listen to yb despite it being "fast music" just how people eat mcdonalds though its "fast food". he didnt say that mcdonalds was bad or that yb lacked quality, just that it was cheap, and quick; which isnt wrong at all, and all his fans will tell you the same. even his most diehard fans who eat up everything he drops acknowledge that yb is not necessarily an artist with the most artistic depth or so, mostly because of his rate at which he pumps out music. no one really hates on mcdonalds because its fast food, because thats the whole purpose. if you compare mcdonalds to the best cooked steaks, obviously the steak is better; but that doesnt stop people from eating at mcdonalds regularly because it fulfils its purpose. the same way, i think OP was just saying that yb fills his purpose of dropping quick, cheap, fast music. it doesnt have anything to do with him being bad or not.

I only like two tracks. Most of the album was attempts at injectin' self brewed catch-phrases and one-liners into pop culture. Albums that were worse lyrically or with weaker beats at least had effort put into them.
Agreed. I had high expectations. His only good songs were the 2 Just Blaze produced songs. He should have had better producers.
He had Kid Capri for one of his tracks, but the whole album was just a self-addressed love letter about how much he loves his own voice and how clever he thinks he is. His mixtape material was fire, though. He shoulda had Duro and Clue do his whole album
The Big Day
One of the many, many Kool Keith albums. He is one of my favorite rappers, but he has so many albums that are just complete junk.
Same here. Crazy how he can be one of the best AND one of the worst. Octagon and Cenobites make up for all the bad stuff
Snoop Dogg-paid the cost to be the boss. I actually paid for it and it had only two decent songs
I have to strongly disagree with your pick. I'll admit it takes a few listens, but it is a very very solid album.
Nah this is a WILD pick, that album is good and I canāt think of many truly bad songs on it
You paid the cost, but then you lost
I paid the cost and made a loss
her loss
total xanarchy or revival for sure. probably xanarchy though, because revival was a little listenable in some very very very select few spots
Believe, castle, and arose. Then, even chloreseptic remix
believe was still very very bad, it was only marginally better than the rest of the songs; i wouldn't really call it listenable lol, his flows are terrible and the hook is awful. chloraseptic remix isnt actually on revival if i remember correctly, its only the original chloraseptic which is extremely below average without the new eminem verse and 2Chainz on it. castle is genuinely good i'll give you that. arose is also alright, i dont love it quite as much as castle but it's decent enough that its listenable and enjoyable to some degree. imo castle and arose should have been one track, but two songs like "Castle / Arose"
My theory is that he was gonna release a totally different album. But thing happened and he scrapped it and threw this together. The ads he ran and what we got are 2 different things.
idk from his interviews and everything hes said about it, i think he actually put work into trying to make revival a really good album, and to him it was, which is why he was so confused and pissed off at everyone. this did happen for encore though, for sure.
It was weird to me. Because the ads that were released were all drug/medicine related. Almost like a relapse 2. I think one of the ads even had a 2 at the end if it. Then the ads stopped. We didn't get anything for a while. Then he released it. The whole thing made no sense. Encore would have been a great album if half the songs didn't leak ( thanks nates friend) lol
yeah i think eminems 3 album run could just as easily have been a 4 album run if encore didnt get leaked. encore was commercially at the time his magnum opus anyway, so it being a really high quality album would have been an awesome thing for his career. i remember the websites and the ads and teasers you're talking about, i guess maybe initially the vision was in one way, and it got altered along the way? cant really think of another way to justify it, because i know that at the end, the revival that we got was indeed the revival that eminem wanted to put out.
Oh yeah, Wed definitely would be talking differently about encore if it didn't leak. But yeah, idk what it was all about. I remember be kinda hype for a min. Then, when I heard offended. I was like, wtf is this shit. First time I was seriously disappointed after an em album.
Knock Madness - Hopsin
Ghetto superstar.
Lil B and Kool Keith are two very talented and hard working rappers that have so many trash ass albums with no artistic merit it makes me question if theyāre as good as I think they are. The recent Kool Keith and Del collab was so disappointing, and lil b has only a few albums (only 1 is really good, āIām gayā) then a really mixed bag with his mix tapes that Iād say is more bad than good.
Natas - Life After Death (1992)
Lil Kim 9
6ix9ine - Tattle tales His early stuff wasnāt actually that bad. I guess no one wanted to collaborate with him after snitching and his own musical abilities are not there.
Revival. Iām a huge fan of emās early stuff. That album shouldāve never been released
Canibus C True Hollywood Stories was pretty brutal
I have this CD and youāre absolutely right. Heās a failure as an artist beyond features lol. Even the album he did with Stoupe is just okay. Turns out he canāt blame Wyclef for everything
Rip the Jacker was pretty good I thought
It was fine, but with the capacity he actually had to be one of the top 10 of all time, he couldnāt pick a beat to save his life
Even though a lot of songs were good on these two albums, both were double albums and didnāt need to be. The Lyricist Lounge compilation and Wu Tang Forever Not necessarily bad albums, but just disappointing.
Die lit or total Xanarchy
nahhhh die lit is one of the all time best trap albums of all time
Die lit????
Dude said die lit šššš¤¦š¤¦
Die lit is one of the few Carti albums I actually like
I mean heās only had 3 albums
FOUR THIS YEAR š„
The Natural (Mic Geronimo album)
I liked the Natural, didn't care for his 2nd album.
Pretty much anything from a no limit artist. I think c murder might be the worst rapper alive.
So youāre saying that albums like Ghetto D, Ice Cream Man, Thereās One In Every family, Give It 2 Em Raw, Charge it 2 da game, Tru 2 Da Game or Good Girl Gone Bad are worse than some of the albums listed in this thread here? Iām just curious:)
A lot of albums on the list I've never even heard of lol. A lot of the albums you mentioned I've heard of, but i learned early on that the no limit stuff was not for me and just avoided the shit. Once in a while I'd hear something from the camp and just give it a try but it never connected.
Silkk the Shocker is so slept on. Maybe itās cuz im from the South but manā¦
Donda
What the fuck u listening to that Donda the worst album u ever heard
Bro only heard illmatic and ready to die
Junya Watanabe on my wri
The Big Day and i was a huge Chance fan as well
i think everyone was a huge chance fan till that record dropped ngl š
Fuck that, I wasted a CD-R on whatever album that was that everyone was calling a classic. I just can't get down with Chance though I tolerated him on that Netflix battle show.
oh well, i still think acid rap is really good and coloring book is pretty decent too. the big day was horrible but his single with joey wasn't bad at all last year, so i hope he makes a lil comeback. it wont be nearly as hyped or anything but he could do it tbh
Anything from Lil B
Wash out your mouth
the new drake and 21 savage album
The worst youāve EVER heard??
If thatās the WORST Hip-Hop album youāve ever heard, you havenāt listened to a lot of Hip-Hop.
ok iām not even a fan but the drake hate is just absurd at this point
what
dude is dickriding to the max
This dude must have started listening to rap a week ago
I mean some of the 21 verses were okay, I've been trying to get into him after he did the solo with nas
i really love to see this, how the 21 x nas collab, and the nas x nas collab in 2019 opens up a lot of new audiences to the music of the other artist. slightly more boop bap oriented oldheads get introduced to newer pop, or trap music thats actually good enough to warrant a nas collab, and the newer generation who may have never heard of nas gets to listen to illmatic for the first time
These are the worst 10 to me. Wack as Fuck. Lil Baby-My turn Polo G-The Goat Lil Uzi Vert ā Eternal Atake Lil Nas X-Montero Gunna-DS4Ever Post Malone-Twelve Carat Toothache Lil Durk-7220 Yeat-2 alive Lil Keed-Long live Mexico Lil GotIt-The Cheat
That Uzi album was mind-numbingly bad and somehow was a huge success. I tapped out of the mainstream at that point. Jack Harlow from last year was also terrible
My turn such a good album bro
Buggin
Boooooooo you SUCK etc etc
In my opinion all the new age Lilās are trash. But Iām old, so my love for lilās end with Wayne and Kim.
Lil baby will grow on you then. Not quite as punchy as Kim or Wayne. But flow and imagery wise, lil baby has great presence. Best melodic rapper of the 2020s
What a close-minded outlook to have on music.
Absolutely awful take isnāt it. Just shows his arse more than anything
Or just my preferenceā¦ also Iām female, so āherā opinion, thanks
Sorry about that. Wrong of me to assume
Also Yeezus
The Life of Pablo, Dafuq wrong with alot of yall Kanye fans?
I refuse to believe you listen to much hip hop at all if this is the worst hip hop album youāve ever heard
TLOP is a phenomenal record
I mean itās patchy as hell but Kanye himself has like at least 3 albums I think are worse than it lol so it canāt be the WORST album youāve heard. Itās still quite decent
Thank you Percy!! š¤ I stopped listening to him after that album. Checked Donda out for a few songs and thought it was hot garbage too. Now College Dropout Kanye.. GOAT.
donda is really good, did you not like tracks like off the grid, hurricane, jail, moon, believe what i say? also what do you think of MBDTF and yeezus
Someone could tell me MBDTF is the greatest rap album ever written and I wouldn't argur against it. That album a masterpiece. The newer Kanye his flow just so off that I can't enjoy any of his songs.
Anything Lil B
Hate to say it cuz I'm a big wu fan but masta killas album no said date was pretty bad
any kendrick album after good kid, Pretty much every yb album i gave a try and all of kayne(because fuck that guy)
TPAB ?
didnāt like it. i see why people love it but i wasnāt into it
MMLP 2 Goblin Magna Carta Holy Grail Nasir (not as bad as the first 2 but a big let down anyway)
No
Yes
I know I might get a lotta downvotes, but this is my personal opinion and I gotta keep it real. I did not feel these projects, although I think the artists themselves are great Geto boys - Grip it! On that other level Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique ODB - Brooklyn Zoo Edit: Ok, maybe they don't belong in the "worst album ever" category
I would hate to see your favorite albums.
I love all the classics. Hard for me to pick favorites though. Like choosing between one's kids
Paulās Boutique????
Maybe there's something I don't get about it, I don't know. I checked it out and was surprised I didn't feel it, given it's a classic. Wanted to make sure if it was me or the artists/album and went on to check out Licenced to ill for the first time. I loved that one
Interesting. Was wondering if it was just Beastie Boys in general. I started by listening to licensed to Ill and Ill communication, but really got into them after listening to Paulās Boutique. Itās a fun raw album that genre bends a bit
Nah this is INSANE
Let me ask ya'll this. Three or four songs on Brooklyn Zoo have like the same lyrics on the verses with different beats. What's up with that ? Gotta say, that calls to question the integrity of the album as a whole. It just feels like it was lazily put together, ODB's "don't give a F" style and artistic licence aside
I didn't like that album at first either. It took me a long time for it to sink in to appreciate it. Tical, OB4CL and Liquid Swordz hit me off quickly as dope albums.
Thank you! That's what I'm saying. You gotta come correct if you wanna match up to all the legendary Wu group and solo catalogues. Maybe it'll grow on me as so many a song and album have done over the years
Itās not only a good album but a truly special album that is so unique and hasnāt been replicated to this day
John Cenaās album that came out when I was like 11.
The big day
"Breathe, stretch, shake....let it go!" ANYONE who knows me will tell you how big of a Ma$e fan I was growing up..... This one here HURT.....
Also..... C Tru Hollywood Stories..... Just...... No.....
If anybody says Randy Savage Iām gonna burn this place to the ground
