Top 5 Hip Hop Albums that influenced Culture!!

5.

Album: Wale "The Album About Nothing"

Culture Relevance: Wale is one of those artist that put a lot of thought into his album concepts. This particular album has to be one of the best concepts ever. Wale brings Seinfeld to the hip hop community, giving us a does of humor mixed with real life situations. This album shows that Wale is able to take a show like Seinfeld (which is a top five show BTW but i digress) and make it into something that can cross all backgrounds.



4.

Album:  Kid Cudi "MOTM 1"


Culture Relevance: With the emergence of Kid Cudi in 2007 we saw an artist that had a lot more to say than the typical artist. Cudi gave us an album that was likely the blueprint for many artist today. The raw emotion and realness of this album allowed Cudi to show us that its ok to be who you are regardless of what anyone says. (Salute Cudi)

3.

Album: BIG "Life After Death"

Culture Relevance: Where do i start with this one, i can remember hearing this album and thinking, "I can see every lyric he raps". Big had this style that was his own, he gave us in inside view of someone that had a lot on his mind but in the mist of it all tried to enjoy this gift he had been giving. Love Live BIG!!!


2.

Album: Outkast "Speakerbox/The Love Below"

Culture Relevance: Outkast showed us that even in a group you can still be individuals. This album broke down so many barriers for hip hop to enter main stream, i mean my 40 plus year old Aunt owned this album. I think we really go to see 3000 be the 3000 we know today as well as Big Boi show us that you have to mention him as a lyricist. Overall this album might have been the most important to the culture.


1.


Album: Jay Z "Reasonable Doubt"

Culture Relevance: Close your eyes, light a cigar, hell grab some whiskey.......Thats exactly what this album is, Luxury meets real rap. Jay gave us the most well rounded album of all time. He showed the guy from the block that you can make it and also showed the regular 9-5 guy that anything is possible with a mean hustle. The "Can Do" tone of this album spoke to us all and is still speaking today.
