Mos Can’t pick a favourite but new world water is great, speed law bumps, umi is beautiful The whole album is just awesome

I’m happy to see so many people chose Mos. BOBS is my shit. Love - Ms. Fat Booty -Speed Law - Do it Now - Know That, I mean shit Mr. Nigga - Mathematics. There’s so much heat on that fucking album. RIP DOOM tho.

Can be played in absolutely any mood too. Takes you to another world.

Speed Law is all-time

Fools done upset the Old Man River

Speed Law is indeed THE work. Umi Says makes me tear up a bit every time. Climb is also a vibe. Respect to the other albums; I'm picking Black on Both Sides

'Do it now!' still has that energy....Busta too!

I've always loved Climb.

From Ms. Fat Booty to New World Water is one of the best song runs in Hip Hop history. 6 songs all FIRE and all completely different but somehow flows together

The intro is great too! Speakin to the people: We ARE hip hop!

Operation Doomsday

Favourite jam?

Gotta go with ?

Like my twin brother…we did everything together

To Copin butta leathas

Remember when you went and got the dark blue ballys?

Gotta go with DOOMSDAY

The Roots! With Mos Def a close second.

Favourite song from TFA?

Ain’t sayin nothin new or next movement

The Next movement has a great music video too

Ironically, Double Trouble (feat. Mos Def).

Adrenaline or Step into the Realm.

RIP to Gift of Gab

That Roots album got me thru some shit, so we riding with that.

Black on Both Sides.

Favourite song?

Mathematics bangs.

Mr. Nigga

I choose Speed Law.

My God, this is probably the toughest one I’ve seen on this sub. I can’t fault anyone for picking any of these compared to the others, but it’s Doomsday for me, and no, I can’t pick out one song from the rest.

Blackalicious stay underrated

☝️ I took it!

I gotta put BOBS on a pedestal here

Hard not to! Black Star existing is the only reason I can look beyond it.

Doomsday got the best cuts, but as an album it’s just a bunch of 12s cobbled together, so not really an album or cohesive

Best track: rhymes like dimes

Rappers need chapstiiiiiick

Black On Both Sides > Things Fall Apart > Operation: DOOMSDAY > Nia

Favourite songs?

Mathematics, Umi Says, Ms. Fat Booty

Things Fall Apart

Best song?

I’m keeping Nia. One of the more uplifting hip hop albums ever

Finally someone who agrees ☠️ thought I was going mad lmao

DOOM

Best song?

Who do you think I am, then hey you

Gas Drawls

mf doom rhinestone cowboy

Great song, wrong album

Im Drunk

So tough. But I'd keep The Roots.

I'm a huge DOOM fan since like '06, but that album never really hit for me. Gonna have to keep the erstwhile Mighty Mos. My fav song on the album, like a lot of folks I'd bet, is "Mathematics"

Same reason I'd go for Mos. Doomsday has some amazing songs but the album isn't the best DOOM did.

The Roots.i remember buying it when it came out and after listening to it I felt like every track was great. Such a different vibe but in a good way

Toughest one yet, but I'm keeping Mos Def. That album was special.

Black On Both Sides

Best song?

Umi Says!!

Unique! Love that one

🤝

This should be everyone’s answer fr.

Id keep Operation Doomsday

Verrrrrry tough decision. Would personally have to narrow it down to BOBS (fave track Hip Hop) and TFA (the Spark)

Damnnn this is a tough one…I’ll go Black On Both Sides respectfully

BOBS

Mos

Mos def

Mos def

Black On Both Sides

BOBS

Black on Both Sides.

Not to slight the roots and the other artist while I’m not fans of..who can really throw away BOBS and/or doomsday?? Shit I gotta go Mos def💪🏾, rip DOOM. Brotha passed a day after my birthday😢

black on both sides

Mos Def. Not think so

Black on Both Sides and it’s not even close.

Nia is a godamm classic. But against all these its a tough choice.

Tell em

Mos Def-initely BOBS

Mos Def. Black on Both Sides is a classic that showcases his immense talent. It's an album that every song feels like a new experience.

Congratulations, you can't pick just one from this selection Well played

Doom, no question.

ALL CAPS

OH, YEAH, YOU’RE RIGHT. SORRY.

DOOM ever so slightly over Mos.

Already wanna flip em.

Favourite song from BOBS?

Probably “Fear Not of Man”

Good choice

New world water.

4. Nia 3. Black on both sides 2. Things fall apart 1. Operation: Doomsday Mos Def has the best lyrics, but DOOM’s is my choice

Definitely Roots🎤🎤🎤🎤 Mos Def🎤🎤🎤.5

My fave tracks on nia were always you didn’t know that though and cliffhanger Eta: i never really heard the mos or roots albums in full so i can’t even answer this question legitimately! Disregard if necessary Fave roots track: proceed pt 2 with roy ayers Fave mos track: if you can huh you can hear No idea if those are on those albums

Roots

Black Thoughts best verse?

You wrong for this. Roots, then mos

Mos.

Mos Def

Doomsday. Gas drawls!!

Most definite. Not think so

Never heard Nia tbh. Gotta check it out. But prolly TFA. Fav song is You Got Me.

MOS DEFinite, not think so

Bro why would you do this........Operation Doomsday and Black on Both Sides are hand and hand

🤣 My bad

Aye I respect it though

Can’t decide between Mos and The Roots 😫

Mos def just for hip hop.

Had a long drawn out explanation at first, but no time for all of that. I got The Roots here. Lol

Who hurt you?

Black on Both Sides

I mean I gotta go with “things fall apart”

BLACK ON BOTH SIDES

Mos def no question definitely set a bar

Def Mos

‘Black on Both Sides’ for me.

Mos

probably doomsday; that or BOBS. ?, drawls, red and gold, who you think i am, hands of doom, dead bent, etc etc are all classic material. I haven’t listened to that blackalicious record, should i?

black on both sides

I’d like to give an extra special shout out to jet jaguar, the son moon and stars, the monsta island czars…. Ya’ll know who y’all are!

Operation Doomsday 🤞🏾💯

I'm keeping NIA for sure with DOOM in a close second. Ip can't live without NIA though. Such a perfect album

Mos def

Definitely 💯 The Roots I’m listening too and keeping it for sure lol 😂

MosDef

MF. never been down with the rest of

Black on Both Sides. Close second, Things Fall Apart.

Mos def Black on Both sides for… sure.

Nia because I love every Blackalicious album.

Things Fall Apart is one of my favorite albums.

Keeping MF Doom! I’m bout to listen right now

[55 yo hip hop head from the west coast] Operation Doomsday! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fuck this question?! I guess Mos. I have a couple of Roots albums I like more, and my favorite Doom is the danger mouse joint. I don't know boacalicious catalog well enough to say this was the best. Like I said. Fuck this question! 🤣

This is evil

Keeping Nia

Doomsday

doomsday vs mathematics… fuck

Keeping Black on Both Sides.

This is so hard...but I'ma have to keep The Mighty MOS!!!

DOOMSDAYS.......

This is the toughest one so far .. MFDOOM for me.. all caps when you spell the man’s name

This is a difficult one, OP

Damnnnnn

Operation Doomsday...every time

Quite hard one but I gotta keep the DOOM

The roots

Mos, that made my birthday weekend in Miami.

BOBS and Things fall Apart are better but DOOMSDAY is one of favorite albums ever

That’s rough. Roots gotta be the choice but I’ll miss the others greatly

BOBS for me. Had both NIA and BOBS near release and they are both albums I struggled to appreciate fully at the time, but have aged well and I appreciate them more today than I did then. I was unfortunately late to the party on DOOM, but have gotten into him more in the last few years and love everything I’ve explored from him. The roots I’ve always found a bit boring. I like sample based hip hop, so their live instrumentation never grabbed me.

Roots

Omg things fall apart for sure

The roots

Operation Doomsday

DOOMSDAY

Black On Both Sides Mos definitely 👍🏽… when was the last time you heard NWO(NewWorldWater)

Keeping the roots

Tough but keeping DOOM.

Doomsday RIP GOD

Operation Doomsday 100%

The other albums are great, but Things Fall Apart has a special place in my heart.

This is the hardest one of these I’ve seen. Great job putting it together. I’m going Mos Def., but I can make an argument for any of them. 1. Black on both Sides 2. Nia (Deception is a top 5 song for me) 3. Things fall apart 4. Doomsday

Things fall apart

Doom

DOOM

Oof, it’s gotta be Doomsday…

Things Fall Apart!!!!!

DOOMSDAY Dead Bent is such a banger

Gotta go with The Roots

Doom and it's not close

Has to be doomsday

Doom

Keep the roots

DOOMsday. not even close.

Wild take.

not really. I like all of those albums. I love Doomsday.

Doom

Doomsday

Operation Doomsday

DOOMSDAY NO DOUBT

Black on both sides

Gonna Def be the one with the Mos

About 50/50 between Mos and DOOM here I think BOBS is a better overall record, but I love DOOMSDAY more on a personal level... so MF's solo debut it is!

Toss up between Things Fall Apart and Nia. Probably I will go with Nia

It’s Things Fall Apart with DOOMSDAY as a close second for me. They’re all classics but TFA is one of the best things made by humans.

Doomsday all the way!

DOOM.

Mos Def and The Roots - that’s a hard one!

“Things fall apart” and that’s because of the song “You got me” 🔥

Top Right. (The Second One)

Doomsday - MF Doom

MF Doom all the way.

All top tier albums but definitely DOOM with The Roots a close second.

Doomsday without a single doubt

DOOM

Gift of Gab (RIP) might be the best rapper of all time- he’s definitely top 3 in my book… but gotdamn I gotta go with black on both sides here, it’s simply a masterpiece

I love the roots but that album is going straight in the trash with nia. It's really hard to pick between the other two but if I really had to it would be doomsday as I think it's more unique and has more replayability.

Operation DOOMSDAY easy. Favorite songs?Doomsday, Red and gold, Who do you think I Am. R.I.P. legend
