In terms of the quality of the entire album (mostly dope, very little filler) what 1986 and prior Hip Hop album would you say is the best one to own as a certified classic?

If we get enough responses on this, I could turn it into a poll, but for now just mention mentionables.

I can never decide on this question, it's a 4-way tie between "Escape", "Run DMC", "Fat Boys" and "Mantronix: The album". I might have pick one if it's a poll though

Good call on all those, GMM. I forgot about Mantronix as a contender for this too, but it's definitely dope enough for that title.

After some more additions on here (clearing throat) we should have enough to make a great poll, no doubt.

(for me) definitely:

The Album - mantronix

licence to Ill - Beatie Boys

Radio - LL Cool J

Schoolly D - Schooly D

Run DMC - Run DMC






peace.

No love for Kurtis Blow's early LPs?
