Are there ANY good rap albums from this year? Are there even TEN? All I can think of is Kanye.

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Friday, 26 November 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Good rap albums... 2004 not as great as last year but not disappointing by any means.

Trick Daddy
Lil' Scrappy and Trillville
Pitbull
Madvillain

DJ help me out.

Haven't listened to Nas, Cam'ron or Lil Jon yet.

St. Etienne owned the rap game this year. If we all work together, we can make them No. 1.

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Friday, 26 November 2004 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

MC Transmaniacon, why not make some other suggestions instead of giving me an attitude? Outkast didn't release an album this year. Neither did Arrested Development.

raj, thanks for the suggestions.

Shmool McShmool, tell me more about St. Etienne.

― yum, Saturday, 27 November 2004 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

he's from manchester, he was stabbed fifty times this year, and he does neil young all grime-style. some people think he made five of the best singles of the 90s. check him out.

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Saturday, 27 November 2004 09:54 (twenty-one years ago)

My favourite rap albums this year are probably:
Ghostface Killah - The Pretty Toney Album
Royce Da 5'9" - Death Is Certain

If anyone wants to hear some superb Dutch rap music from 2004, do a Slsk search for

Extince: Regelneef
Kubus: Hamvraag
Duvelduvel: Wie is ut

― JoB (JoB), Saturday, 27 November 2004 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

but that was last year,
december 23rd maaaaaaaaaan!
(chopped/screwed okay though)

― Haibun (Begs2Differ), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Are we really doing it by calender year!? Its ridiculous that it didn't have a chance of making it last year and its also invalid this year!

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

(And if you're looking for a token S&C album, the 3-6 S&C is much better)

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Dr. Bill clearly says things released at the tail-end of last year are eligible. Test: whether they appeared in 2003 polls.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry - that's for the ILM poll. I may have got confused.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

this isn't Dr. Bill's poll. this is our poll. and in our rules, it says "Everything from the last year (or close enough, within a month) is fair game."

heh x-post

― Al (sitcom), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

All the polls blur together at some pt.

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Saturday, 27 November 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

well, it doesn't help that the other poll has a similiar all-caps thread title.

― Al (sitcom), Saturday, 27 November 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Dr. Bill, Al's looking in YOUR direction ;)
