@@_illofficaladl1030 There’s a reason Dmx was labeled first to have 5 straight number ones, and that’s because Jay-z first few albums didn’t debut at number 1, and Jay z doesn’t consider to have 14 straight number 1 either his number 1 streak started over in 2002 when he did best of both worlds, and it was under his name. Do your research before you spread false narratives.
Yeah and you Can even go further tot he point where Jesus is King is where it stops. (Jesus is King has some incredible songs though). I would say a tribe called quest and outkast aswell. Kendrick is getting there though
Word Of Mouf had so many bangers tho. Roll Out, Area Codes, Saturday, Move, Welcome To Atlanta (even though that’s Jermaine Dupris song and it’s a hidden track on that album) Go To Sleep, Cry Babies Go Home, Freaky Things, Growing Pains.
'Scarface, Scarface, come on Scarface' under my breath this whole video lol. Face and Freddie Gibbs have released 4 dope albums in a row multiple times each, Roc Marciano is more than 4 deep and has yet to miss imo, and you could make a case for Common's first 4.
Carter 1 is not a classic nor was it great carter 2 yes Wayne started putting albums together better. The carter 3 🔥🔥🔥🔥 that boy was on one. Carter 4 meh 😒
@Palatial Slumlord cool. Just wanted to understand your mindset for the reason u saying Doc the name was trash....it was the worst out of the 4 albums.. But not trash.. In. My. Opinion
@Palatial Slumlord I respect that. It mat have fell short if u were looking for another muddy waters or dark side. I agree. But he went in a different direction, tried something different... I like that. When an artist is confident in there ability to do that... More mainstream. Like what u mention. 3 stacks But I feel you n respect it
@@outlawz7623 if you think that Kendrick and Cam’ron are in the same category of greatness I’m skeptical of how much of a hip-hop head you are. No one outside of the New York/Jersey area thinks that anything Cam’ron made was transcendent. Kendrick is going to be one of the G.O.A.T.s and Cam’ron will be the guy that had a few hits in the 2000s and a bar involving Barney The Dinosaur. Your opinion is your opinion but no one outside of the New York area remembers 4 great Cam’ron albums.
@@notevenmynigg yea, for like 3 years in high school. No one brings up Cam’ron in conversations involving the greats. Lol, are you from New York/Jersey?
Bro I thought the same but naw it ain’t. X first two albums are dark. The 3rd and 4th were a lighter side. One more road to cross The professional More to a song Here we go again DXL X is coming Angel Make a move
I would go as far as saying ye and Jesus is King are the only ones thats not classics but just very good albums. I would even throw kids er ghosts and watch the throne in as classics aswell
@@mohamedfarah9771 I didn't say he had 4 classics, but his albums are all top tier, GOAT level lyrics, some beats might not be the greatest I'll give you that, but NAS is hands down the Greatest Of All Time💯 based on his lyrics, style, creativity, impact on the culture, longevity and influence on other Emcees 💯✌🏾
@@ocampbell1954 I can admit great depression wasn't on the level of the first three, but And Then There Was X, go look at that track list again. that was a great album
untitled unmastered was a collection of throwaway joint recorded before and during TPAB... the fact that you guys mention it alongside other artists great album alone is a win for kendrick
@@dacreativebrinson66 The influence doesn't make the album great. Albums have to be judged on their own merit as the singular piece of work, not the fact that others took from it stylistically. It helped make that style of music making popular but the album itself while solid isn't a great work...
Take a Look Around, SlaughtaHouse and Sittin on Chrome. Masta Ace has 5 classics in a row. From Take a Look Around to A Long Hot Summer, to me is the best run of albums in hip hop history (with the exception of Kendrick)
Jay has 14 #1 albums in a row ....no one has more than him but the Beatles......and starting from Reasonable Doubt Jay-Z clearly has five albums in a row that are great. Then you have DMX that had 2 multi-platinum albums in one year followed by another great album.
Life and Times and Hard Knock Life aren’t “great,” their good. Jay’s three undeniably great albums are RD, Blueprint and Black Album, some would argue In My Lifetime as well....
@@dawb86 that's your opinion ....I think both where solid albums all the way through .I grew up when these albums where dropping they all fit the feel of the time in the city I grew up in .
@@ghostwriter8631 I grew up when they were dropping as well. He said "check my rap sheet nigga, three classics" on his fifth album, which meant he didn't even think those were "great" albums lol.
Common is close (Resurrection - like water for chocolate) electric circus was a critical hit but not that great. If you move that out the way for “BE” then he’s right there though.
“Doesnt have a universal classic” lol yea NWTS and Take Care alone aren’t better then KOD FHD and 4YEO?? These some dumb mfs. Views is better than FHD even stop cappin y’all just love to hate on Drizzy
@@Quintahboyah Kendrick Lamar’s album “DAMN” Every song on that album is certified GOLD He is the first rapper to ever do that NOT drake Drake has hits on albums but not every song is good And let’s not forget Kendrick Lamar diss drake at the BET awards and Drake did NOTHING yet diss Meek right away and drake came from Kendrick first Drake gets help writing,drake got help By signing to the biggest rap label at the time Young Money and drake lies in his music about all this Street stuff Knowing that 90% of his life he been in Canada
Y’all claim to love DMX but didn’t mention him? Smh. The Great Depression wasnt as good as his first 3, but that was fire, hell DMX has a 5 peat because grand champ is a wonderful album front to back songs like where the hood at, get it on the floor and AYO KATO! Flames 🔥
And than there is Wayne who put everything in a tape and straight 🔥🔥timeless albums but heavily overshadowed by hypocrisy and hate..but still keep them coming...There will never be another🙌🏾
Ice Cube anyone? Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Death Certificate, Lethal Injectoon, The Predator
Right
Dude said Ice Cube.. ahahaha oh man
You forgot kill at will
agreed
DMX literally has 5 straight number 1 albums...
Stop it
Billboard doesn't determine quality. Look at Cardi B.

Kendrick and DMX
sza has a few tracks out, so she makes the most sense for whos dropping from tde.
Scarface: mr Scarface is back, the world is yours, the diary, my homies.
Common is close (Resurrection - like water for chocolate) electric circus was a critical hit but not that great. If you move that out the way for “BE” then he’s right there though.
“Can I Borrow A Dollar?” was a dope album. That’s 4 straight right before it hits Electric Cirus
I was thinking Common also. Electric Circus wasn't that good but just after that he dropped Be and that's definetely one of his best works.
Does Rakim & Eric B, count as Rakim first 4?
Also can we count the Fab mixtape run? There Is No Competition to SOUL tape 3 is a vibe.
