I don ' t think so . <| sep |> That would be awesome . The mons should be our eyes and ears , not just fighters . telling us of the gym situation . If they can feedback the surrounding information , even better , gives another motivation to do gym fights . The more mons we have in gyms , the more spies ! <| sep |> I am a beautiful person . I tried to move to stop her . That ' s what I got when I hit the middle autofill on my phone keyboard . You can never stop her . <| sep |> That ' s soon to be illegal . <| sep |> Ice Cube Death Certificate . One of the greatest examples of socially conscious hip hop from the West Coast . I can hear echoes of Ice Cube in artists like 2 Pac as well as contemporary California artists like Kendrick Lamar and Vince Staples . The Notorious BIG Ready to Die . Arguably the greatest album the genre has ever seen my vote goes to Illmatic , but I don ' t argue if this album is mentioned . BIG crafted something socially conscious to the roots that masquerades as gangster rap . This is an album to be studied . Eminem The Slim Shady LP . Maybe not as technically brilliant as subsequent efforts , this album is awash in blistering lyricism and some of the best storytelling since Slick Rick . Eminem is raw and hungry and almost literally beats the listen over the head with some of the most unique and daring music the genre had seen at the time of its release . Eric B . Rakim Follow the Leader . Pick any album from this duothey are all brilliant . Rakim is perhaps the most influential rapper in hip hop history . You can literally hear the progression of the art form on these recordingsemceeing would never be the same afterwards . Then there ' s the fact that Nas , perhaps the greatest rapper to ever live , was directly influenced by the God . Beastie Boys Paul ' s Boutique . The Beasties somehow manage to sound fresh and modern while steeped in a style that should sound dated . The interplay of the emcees is effortless and mesmerizing and the production is deservingly regarded as legendary . The music of Paul ' s Boutique is simply peerless and is as dope in 2016 as it was in 1989 .
