Classic hardcore street albums?

[DrugBa11ad]

It's Dark & Hell Is Hot

Must definitly be included.

Cassidy - I'm a Hustla

Big L - Lifestyles of the poor and dangerous (dont know if you consider that 'hardcore' but its pretty 'street')

 

[Bobby Sands]

Lifestyles of The Poor and Dangerous most definately.

I suppose Ready To Die could be considered,especially with songs like Gimme The Loot

 

[simo]

CNN - War Report?

 

[Base_D]

how about:
Non phixion - the future is now
Ill Bill - what's wrong with bill
Jedi mind tricks - visions of ghandi/ legacy of blood/ violent by design

 

[Butt Rubber]

dr dre "the chronic"

 

[Confucius87]

Hot Boys - Guerilla Warfare
B.G. - Chopper City in the Ghetto
Dogg Pound - Dogg Food
Dr. Dre - 2001
Master P - Ghetto D

 

[Jebus]

What about

Cormega "The realness"

 

[Bobby Sands]

Strictly 4 My Niggaz-2Pac?

 

[PELLA]

illmatic

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Personally i wouldnt say Illmatic is "hardcore" its more poetic.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Yea,Illmatic wouldnt be considered Harcore Street.

 

[dedbrd]

the first ghetto boys cd was tight, well maybe the second, the one with the black cover with all 4 pictured in a different box

 

[7 Syns]

Maybe Beanie Sigel's first album, though it's more personal than streets.

I know this will spark conversation but would anyone consider Ja Rule's debut a street album? Because if my memory serves correct there is no pop crossover songs on that record.

N.W.A., Ice Cube's albums before War & Peace..

Kizz My Black Azz & Ruthless 4 Life by Ren.

UGK, 8Ball and MJG, Geto Boys.. alot of their material.

peace.

Cassidy - I'm a Hustla

the self titled one?

How is Cassidy's album not street?

Although there are a few soft ish type songs, most of the shit is straight up movin coke and shit. The entire album has a 'street' feel, and since STREET is so vaguely defined and subjective, why not?

Not only is he street, he drops a more street/political song with "The Message". The album is fucking street, in my opinion.

So keep your bitch ass "LOL"s without any explanation to yourself, please

 

[Hallbanger]

if lifestylez ov the poor and dangerous by big l doesnt make it, then the list is a joke

 

[AmerikazMost]

most of all the ones i was thinking of have been listed..

Temples of Boom - Cypress Hill, maybe?

 

[BIG NASTY]

LOL

LMAO :laugh:

 

[2PacThug4Life]

Yes it is.



Matured and more polished a better pick for a 'hardcore street' album?
If making a top 50 list I wouldn't include any Lynch album. His lyrics are hardcore but I wouldn't define his overall sound as hardcore street. M.O.P would be a far more accurate pick for example despite the level of gore in Lynch's music.

Some that (I think) haven't been mentioned:

AP.9 - Headshotz / Worldwide Mob Figa
Blackjack - Addicted to Drama
C-BO - Gas Chamber / Tales from the Crypt / Til My Casket Drops
Dosia - Waiting to Inhale
Facemob - The Other Side of the Law
The Jacka - The Jack Artist
Kausion - South Central Los Skanless
Havoc & Prodeje - Kickin' Game / Livin' in a Crime Wave
Killa Tay - Snake Eyes
Lunasicc - Mr. Lunasicc
Mad CJ Mac - True Game
C-BO's Mob Figaz (that's the name of the album)
X Raided - Psycho Active / The Xorcist / The Unforgiven Vol. 1
Yukmouth's 2 first albums

Too much of a headache to think about more

I agree with you on tha C-Bo, Lunasicc, Dosia, & X-Raided albums .

Some other albums are...

Doja Clik-Speed Kills
Lil Ric-It's Like Armageddon
Killa Tay-Mr. Mafioso
Lunasicc-A Million Words, A Million Dollars
Hollow Tip-Takin No Shortz
