Who Is The Greatest Ever?
Bay Way 41510
Judging strictly by their body of work (hip-hop records, not movies
and shit) and a consistency over years (and decades)...
I gotta go with Scarface
there's others worth mentioning sure, but face just has too many
REALLY GOOD ALBUMS, both solo and as a Geto (and ghetto) Boy
LL... too many substandard albums
Rakim? not enough really good albums (I count 4...)
Tupac? too much filler (at no fault of his own)
Too Short? faded down the stretch..
E-40? wooooosh!
Jay-Z and Eminem haven't been around long enough to merit mention
STRATEGY
Sumran Choudrey
group stakes.
Solo, yeah Scarface is the man.
Jigga has had like 9 albums in 8 years or something though so I think he
should be included. 8 years is a while in the game.

KRS-One
Gang Starr
The "reinvention of self" award goes to:
L.L. Cool J.
One the other hand, I wouldn't consider dropping weight a reinvention.
He still kicks around the same topics with his shirt off, while licking
his lips, and winking to the camera.
PainInDaAss
pure blasphemy
in any debate about whos the greatest of all time, e-40's name should NEVER
NEVA, EVA EVA EVA EVA EVA
be mentioned

G Rap fell off too hard. when you put your wife on, you got problems. when
she raps about fuckin other dudes on the same track as you, you also got
problems.
his protege even fell off.

Do other music genres have this type of competition as well?
I doubt it. If they do, they at least judge within genres.
That said, I - unwillingly - can make out for contestants:
LL Cool J, 2Pac, KRS-One and Scarface, and it's quite
obvious that Scarface wins if judged by what I'd call
'artistic consistency,' meaning having been able to keep
a certain artistic standard on all solo and group albums.

are still able to reel out albums continually, even though he died 8 years
ago.
Quite extrordinary, imagine how many albums he would've had out by now, if
he was still alive, would probably be between 10-20, then I would had to
have voted him.

Yeah I know, the orginator of this post said it was about volume of albums
produced - mixtapes do not compare to over 200 tracks in around 6 years.

Hmm, I doubt 50 produced as many as Pac in half the time, seeing as the
majority of tracks produced were during the death-row days, and there were a
"lot".

Do the math. 20 mixtapes with a conservative average of 10 songs each (some he
has less joints but some of the earlier shit is 20 tracks with him on every
one) gives you 200 songs, not counting his album, his appearances on other
recrds, his first lp from 99, or the g-unit lp....
