You Complete Me

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hidey Ho world, it's that time again. Since the beginning of musical time one of the hardest thing to do was to hold the audiences attention and get your point across. You may not know but records use to have two maybe three songs on it at a time. Then whole albums came and it still was difficult to make the "perfect" album, with people making two good singles and the rest of the album their own creative thoughts. As time went on and technology got more advanced people's attention span had gotten shorter and shorter. But not all was lost there were a few complete albums where every song hit and the artist message got across loud and clear. Here is Sarcarrogance's top ten complete albums.





10) Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle



Doggystyle is the debut album from Snoop Doggy Dogg, released November 23, 1993 on Death Row Records. The album was recorded soon following the release of Dr. Dre's landmark debut album The Chronic (1992), to which Snoop Dogg contributed significantly. His musical stylization for the album share similarity to those featured on Doggystyle. Critics have praised Snoop Dogg for the lyrical "realism" he delivers on the album and for his distinctive vocal flow.






9) Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP



The Marshall Mathers LP is the third studio album by Eminem. Released May 23, 2000, the album sold more than 1.79 million copies in its first week just in the US, earning a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest selling solo album ever. In 2001, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. The album was certified 9x platinum by the RIAA in the United States, and sold over 10.2 million copies in the US. As of 2005 the album had sold over 19 million units worldwide. Often cited as Eminem's magnum opus, The Marshall Mathers LP has been ranked as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all-time by such magazines as Rolling Stone, Time, and XXL. Rolling Stone placed the album at number 7 on its list of the best albums of the 2000s. The album was ranked number 302 by Rolling Stone on their list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2010, Rhapsody featured it on its list of "The 10 Best Albums By White Rappers".




8) Rah Digga - Classic




Back in the late '90s, fire-breathing battle rapper Rah Digga was the only sidekick in Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Squad who could out roar the dungeon dragon himself. A decade after her 2000 debut, Dirty Harriet, she's still going full throttle. "Who's gonna check me, boo? / Not you!" she shouts on Classic, a set well-stocked with energy blasts like "Back It Up" and "This Ain't No Lil' Kid Rap," all produced by New York head-nod specialist Nottz. Save for "Viral," where she addresses some online gossip chatter, Rah Digga doesn't show much patience for introspection. But what Classic lacks in subtlety, it makes up in rowdy exultation.



7) Raheem DeVaughn - The Love Experience



The Love Experience is the debut Studio album by Raheem DeVaughn, released June 28, 2005 by Jive Records. The singles from this album were "Guess Who Loves You More" "Believe" "Ask Yourself" and "You".

6) Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik



Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, was issued on April 26, 1994. This initial effort is credited with laying the foundation for southern hip hop and is considered a classic by many hip hop aficionados. Every track on Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was produced by Organized Noize and featured other members of the Dungeon Family. Follow-up singles included the title track and "Git Up Git Out", a politically charged collaboration with Goodie Mob that was later sampled by Macy Gray for her 1999 hit "Do Something." On this early material, both André and Big Boi contrast lyrical content reflecting the lifestyles of pimps and gangsters with politically conscious material commenting on the status of African Americans in the South. OutKast won Best New Rap Group at the Source Awards in 1995. In the same year, the group contributed "Benz or a Beamer" to the popular New Jersey Drive soundtrack.

I know left out a couple but like I said it was a top ten. If you don't like write and tell me your top ten. For those out there here go some more albums: Green Day-American Idiot, 50 Cent-Get Rich or Die Trying, Jay-z-Reasonable Doubt, Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath, The Beatles-The White Album, and Led Zeppelin-Led Zeppelin. Like I said if you can think of more let me know.
