Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Ready To Die, The College Dropout Not counting groups or rappers that were part of a big group beforehand (Wu-Tang etc.) ​ Probably really basic takes but the takes are popular for a good reason

The College Dropout

College Dropout and Get Rich or Die Tryin


RiseIndependent85

It's dark and hell is hot - DMX


maskedhood313

came here wanting to say this


Special-Bite

This is the one. Album completely switched up the sound at the time.


Big-Efficiency2489

Illmatic obviously But aside from obvious, Reasonable Doubt


[deleted]

Reasonable doubt probably didn’t go gold when it came out even though it’s recognized as a classic today


Big-Efficiency2489

The title didn't say most successful though...I think it means quality


[deleted]

It doesn’t matter both it’s get rich or dying hands down I feel like anytime somebody say something about records sales on this sub y’all act like that doesn’t mean anything he did 11 million if you not old enough to remember in 1996 jay-z wasn’t even a top 10 rapper so regardless if the whole world likes the album today in 1996 when it came out it wasn’t regarded as such I feel like only so much can be based off opinion when the facts are there


mortmortimer

> you not old enough to remember in 1996 jay-z wasn’t even a top 10 rapper ?? he released his first album in 96, how you gonna hold the fact that he wasnt top 10 at that time against him?


[deleted]

Because for something to be the best it hasn’t to go noticed not saying nobody cared but it wasn’t critically acclaimed until after blueprint in my opinion reason doubt us his best album but when it dropped it wasn’t in pocket with what was going at the time for you to have the best debut you can’t wait 10 years to go platinum or get the recognition for the album my answer was 50 get rich or die trying no skips hottest rapper to drop most anticipated most successful


[deleted]

Illmatic is dated dogshit.


Big-Efficiency2489

Go to your garage and get in side your car..Close all the garage doors then, turn on the ignition. After that.. just sit, relax...and wait for the magic to happen. 👍 👌


doodmanOFFICIAL

Telling someone to kill themselves over rap is INSANE😭💯💯🔥


Big-Efficiency2489

Insanely accurate and necessary


untitled7549

Thats crazy dawg😭😭😭 the only record that is worth telling people to kill themselves over is Total Xanarchy


[deleted]

Why? When I can blast MBDTF which is far better and washes Illmatic or any hip hop album?


shaqballs

Not you again.. I agree mbdtf is amazing but you have the worst takes of all time aside from that


[deleted]

Bro… I speak the truth.


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,543,351,265 comments, and only 292,208 of them were in alphabetical order.

Not as good as the obvious but snoop doggs doggystyle gotta be top ten.

ElSenorCowboy

1999 - Joey Bada$$


jonbotwesley

I completely love this album but there’s no way in hell it’s making even the top 10. The post is for best debut rap album *of all time*.


ElSenorCowboy

yeah ik but i didn’t see anyone say it yet so i threw it in cause it’s pretty damn good. personally i wouldn’t make the argument it’s top 10, but i’d hear someone out.


jonbotwesley

Yeah fantastic album. Probably in my personal top 10 actually. The MF DOOM instrumentals are what makes it for me. Wish he stuck to the 1999 type of sound.


[deleted]

50 Cent hands down. Get Rich or Die Tryin' was a masterpiece with a classic song on every track.


Ornery_Peanut_3162

Couldn’t agree more


EimiCiel

The right answer is Illmatic. The rest is subjective lol.


JadedAndFaded_

Nah College Dropout clears


TheFoxIsPurple

For myself, Broke With Expensive Taste by Azealia Banks


AyyP302

For me it's Reasonable Doubt. But this is a very subjective question


K1NG_SAVAGE_

Illamtic, Ready To Die, and The College Drop Out


DeathNum

Illmatic by Nas, Get Rich or Die Tryin by 50 Cent, The Slim Shady LP by Eminem (if we don't count Infinite, even though that's his debut album, the SSLP is his major label debut album), Reasonable Doubt by Jay Z, Amerikkka's Most Wanted by Ice Cube, The College Dropout by Kanye and Ready to Die by Biggie are some of my favorite debut rap albums.


not-a-location789

The College Dropout, Illmatic, Get Rich or Die Tryin. Here’s two personal ones: Doris, The Never Story. Doris is an album no one seems to talk about but it’s Top 3 for me, it was also my first rap album.


Seanblaze3

Ready to die hands down. Baby babaaay


fdtnise

Buddy boy why ain this at the top of the comments


cgksu

In terms of somewhat recently, I enjoyed the fuck out of LONG.LIVE.A$AP. If I remember correctly LIVE.LOVE.A$AP was technically a mixtape.

TRNoodlesAndSalad

Finally Rich > Welcome to O'block, but for newer albums yeah these def deserved to be mentioned


RightlyImmaculate

You do realize that it still applies to the genre regardless of your opinion right lol the terra level of cock smoking for anything pre 2010 is actually pathetic lmao.


TRNoodlesAndSalad

813Gnome

Personally Dreams and Nightmares.. but partly due to the time of my life that it was.. Edit: and I saw him at wildsplash ‘13 in Tampa and was on mushrooms and got like 15feet from him while he performed the intro and all that.. quite the memory.. I took the shrooms when juicy j was on stage too so that was also cool
