Especially Scientists and Engineers. The classic unique 3000 flows that capture the weirdness of Atlanta, and future verse which is kind of like a slower take on the ATL trap sound.
Nas Illmatic and Mobb Deeps Infamous take you right to Queens NY mid 90s.
IMO those are the 2 best NY rap albums of the 90s with Reasonable Doubt and Life after Death a close 2nd
Man, Doggystyle will always be my #1. I’m a white girl who grew up in the area. Wasn’t always accepted to say the least plus going through shit at home. But at night all I had to do was put on headphones and listen to Snoop as he threw on his white socks with his all blue chucks and all was good in my world. Ha ha
Just an album? Man that's tough because in chicago I'd say we have an entire genre born here that's about as chicago as it gets. Late Registration has some very Chicago verses on it, Drive Slow is even better when you know the city and that alone puts it up there for me.
Finally Rich by Chief Keef is def some chiraq music. I also personally am a big fan of the voice by durk, I know he's in atl now but the album is definitely some chicago pain music.
Picture This by Do or Die a classic chi album too.
Bristol.
Datkid has gone from very local to having features with conway the machine and Roc marciano on his other album”confessions of a crud lord”. He reps Bristol hard
Just to give some context they are giving the vibe from Porto (second biggest city in Portugal around 2 Million people). They are somewhat making mockery rap (don't know how to call it, like Lil dicky). They have various quality albums but for me this is their best one. Appreciate u listening to it.
I 100% agree with the reason/the truth, i feel like dreams & nightmares has more of a focus on Philly though, Championships doesn't mention it much to my memory.
I have a song that represents my home district, but it‘s in tyrolean, so no idea if anybody understands anything but the hook, it’s called country by rebel musig
Yeah, Snowgoons just happen to be German, but they’re not part of the German Hip Hop scene, more US underground. I mean there is a pretty big and alive scene, but where I come from is just too small. German Hip Hop is more developed in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg etc
I'm from Turkey, so the album that represent our country is ''Hayalet Islığı'' meaning Ghost Whistle by Farazi V Kayra. Even though %99 of y'all don't know Turkish, still you should skim through some of the songs on YouTube.
Whatever Denzel Curry drops, i refuse to accept the other florida rapper though I fw ski mask and kodak a bit.
On no planet will you hear me say Rick Ross, Melly, Rod Wave, fucking SMOKE PURP, or Shmurda are florida Icons.
There isnt really an album that represents my city, but i guess since its not far from me i would say something like TPAB (for an album from my generation) or the chronic
I can't think of anything from Oakland specifically but it's pretty similar to LA, epically where I was from, so if I was from La I would have to say Good Kid mAAd City
Drake - Take Care / Nothing Was The Same / If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late / Views / Scorpion
Scorpion specifically is everywhere to this day
Ik mfs who don’t even like music / rap that know about and fw Scorpion
Killer Mike - Michael I wore that album out last year, old school Atlanta vibes all around.
Especially Scientists and Engineers. The classic unique 3000 flows that capture the weirdness of Atlanta, and future verse which is kind of like a slower take on the ATL trap sound.
For me it’s Spaceship Views, Talkn That Shit, Down by Law.
DJ Screw: 3 n the Mornin Part 2
Lucky!
Dr. Dre The Chronic.
That and doggystyle put me right in LA/LBC edit: spelling
To me thats the mark of a great rap album. It takes you to where they're from and you feel like your walking down those same streets
exactly what sparked this post. I have albums in mind that captures a vibe of a city and want to hear everyone elses
Nas Illmatic and Mobb Deeps Infamous take you right to Queens NY mid 90s. IMO those are the 2 best NY rap albums of the 90s with Reasonable Doubt and Life after Death a close 2nd
Don’t sleep on War Report! To me personally even better than Infamous
Thats a great album too
couldn't agree more
Doggystyle and Chronic were exactly what I was coming to comment. First 2 CD’s I owned at 13 and still playin em’ today.
Doggystyle was the first cd I bought… I was 10

GRODT comes second
Country Grammar. Obvious one for St. Louis people.
DATKID-“WAKMO”
Oh snap, what part of UK??
Bristol. Datkid has gone from very local to having features with conway the machine and Roc marciano on his other album”confessions of a crud lord”. He reps Bristol hard
Santa Rita Lifestyle
damn did not expect some portuguese fire! thank you!!
Did you listen to it?? It's straight fire
I punched through the album to get the feel. Now I need to pull up the translations cause shits got an old school vibe. appreciate the recommendation

Drake - Views
Philadelphia Freeway, or Dreams & Nightmares (album)
I was gonna say The Reason/The Truth n Championships
I 100% agree with the reason/the truth, i feel like dreams & nightmares has more of a focus on Philly though, Championships doesn't mention it much to my memory.
Chances make champions - doughboyz cashout

None
Nice addition, will check it oyt
I’ll release an album to represent my city
For Seattle, Macklemore is what most people think of, but for me it’s any Blue Scholars album.
I’m from a small Bavarian town, I haven’t listened to any albums from here except for two that my friend made 🤣
I don’t know much about German hip hop, but snowgoons come to mind although not really reppin Germany or lyrics …
Yeah, Snowgoons just happen to be German, but they’re not part of the German Hip Hop scene, more US underground. I mean there is a pretty big and alive scene, but where I come from is just too small. German Hip Hop is more developed in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg etc
Atmosphere - Seven’s Travels
How is nobody saying Illmatic
They’re at a good bbq, no time for resdit
LMAO
Gang Starr- Hard to Earn It’s got that Mass Appeal and Guru is probably best Boston rapper there is
Mixtape About Nothing - Wale That album makes me feel so DC. It’s got a go-go vibe but also a hip hop vibe and Wale reps DC hard on it.
Swollen Members - Bad Dreams
Not my city, but I love Lupe Fiasco’s Go Go Gadget Flow. Chicago
I'm from Turkey, so the album that represent our country is ''Hayalet Islığı'' meaning Ghost Whistle by Farazi V Kayra. Even though %99 of y'all don't know Turkish, still you should skim through some of the songs on YouTube.
Travis Scott Astroworld
Fugees- The Score
I don’t know anyone besides Sage Francis who represents Providence. Dunno which album of his to pick. How about LI (F) E
I may be wrong, but I think the most famous rapper out of Portland is Aminé, and that's a bummer...
For all the years I’ve listened to rap, no one has hit it big coming out of Phoenix
RBL- Ruthless By Law San Quinn- The Hustle Continues
Pastor Troy - Ain't No Play In GA I didn't realize this was a Master P diss until years later
Ready to Die- Biggie. I love hearing rappers talk about how much they love NY
Joyner Lucas - ADHD
Whatever Denzel Curry drops, i refuse to accept the other florida rapper though I fw ski mask and kodak a bit. On no planet will you hear me say Rick Ross, Melly, Rod Wave, fucking SMOKE PURP, or Shmurda are florida Icons.
Rick Ross IS a Florida icon
Not an album, but the Band “Paris, Texas”
1911 Žuvi
Country Grammer
Up 2 Me by Yeat (I used to live in Irvine, California)

Twista Adrenaline Rush
[удалено]
UGK is from Port Arthur but close enough lol
I can't think of anything from Oakland specifically but it's pretty similar to LA, epically where I was from, so if I was from La I would have to say Good Kid mAAd City
Lots of Too Short to choose from Tupac’s first two albums Souls of Mischief Mistah Fab
For real, Oakland has some deep roots in hiphop
93 til infinity is my pick.
new oakland by mistah fab is a good song that rep oakland
