I regret nothing. I love Dopethrone but ultimately I love The Books a little more.
a pack of wolves:
You should probably see someone about that.
Long songs on a pop record isn't all that novel these days, and it's definitely not a mark of quality. And I can think of a few hip-hop records better than The Blueprint this century (J Dilla's absolutely superb 'Donuts' springs to mind) and I never thought Tha Carter III lived up to the hype though it was solid. Gnarls Barkley didn't impress me at all, and they're the only act you mentioned I might have actually picked the tepid Dead Meadow over.
sean:
man im just shocked the dude argued for the merit of an album based on the length of the songs.
also who the fuck are the books?
I Am Not Amused:
Donuts is freaking great, agreed. But it takes its amazing technical abilities by sacrificing just the slightest bit of pure listenability for me. I can put Jigga any time any day and just straight out enjoy that record. For Donuts, I have to be a bit more cerebral to get behind it. Dilla's catalog is spectacular front to back, no arguments, and I would definitely vote for that to be on this list, too.
On the other stuff...
*shrugs*
I just can't agree on your assessments on the other records you mentioned. It happens.
(C'mon, people, we know that the track length thing was a way to state that people don't really look at that album. I made other comments about its content so, please, let's try not to Fox News the comment.)
JD:
Does Jaydiohead count as a hip hop album? 'Cause that's what i would nominate for best hip hop album.
