>>2934381Good rap, like all good music can't be boiled down to formula or certain adjectives. That said, most of it comes down to authenticity, quality of music, and real emotion or intelligence. Here's some albums, off the top of my head, that embody these traits: GZA's Liquid Swords, Mos Def's Black on Both Sides, Three 6 Mafia's Underground Vol 1, Kanye's College Dropout, Death Grips' Exmilitary, Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, Jay-Z's The Blueprint, The Roots' Things Fall Apart, Danny Brown's XXX, Cam'ron's Purple Haze, DMX's It's Dark and Hell is Hot
