I think they have more albums that I consider to be "good" (7-7.5/10 or whatever) than anyone in hip-hop history. My count is 8 maybe 9 good albums. Totally unique feel and mood to each of them as well. Consider the difference between Rising Down and How I Got Over. They are so much more than the "zomg a hip-hop band" factor that I fear people think of them as.
Oh yeah and great pick. Left them on the board since I drafted them last time.

Kanye?
He has 8 total albums. I don't consider Ye good. Especially not on the level of these Roots albums. Honestly not a huge fan of the back half of 808s either. So no, I don't think Kanye has as many "good" albums as the Roots. Of course, The Roots don't have any albums on the level of MBDTF either.
part of why i didn't pick them was because i listened to Undun the other day and didn't like it as much as I remembered.
Undun was overrated a bit IMO and was why I said 8-9 (the uncertainty with that album). For me, Things Fall Apart, How I Got Over and Rising Down are the absolute tits with Illadelph, Game Theory, Do You Want More, Phrenology (also a bit overrated as critics tried to make up for fucking up on reviews of TFA) and Tipping Point (underrated IMO) falling into a category of just "good albums." I'm overusing this phrase lately, but I respect Undun more than I enjoy it. Hooks are weak and it just isn't very memorable sonically even though the concept / lyrics are really cool.

All of those albums are great.
We agree here in principle. I'm just using great and good to divide my Tiers of Roots albums.

Depends whether you count WTT and KSG.
808s is fire all the way through.
I wasn't really counting WTT or KSG, but those still wouldn't get me to 8-9 Kanye albums that I felt like were all on the level of any Roots album minus their first and last.
You were safe. They weren't on my list. But thinking about who you might be picking reminded of something to add to my list.
Now this one I definitely know and you’ll probably get to them first before I run through the few I know I want before them.
The Clash / Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg / Tool The Police / The Prodigy / Soundgarden / The Isley Brothers / Run DMC / Blondie / Rammstein / The 13th Floor Elevators / Odd Future
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

The Velvet Underground _ Madonna _ Aretha Franklin Aphex Twin _ Erykah Badu _ Brian Eno _ Arctic Monkeys Sia _ Sufjan Stevens _ The XX _ PJ Harvey _ Solange Flying Lotus _ Nicolás Jaar & Group
This pick feels mad redundant but I’m just too surprised that they’re still available.
The Highwaymen (Cash, Jennings, Nelson, Kristofferson)
& with that, both them and Johnny Cash are on the trade block, though I definitely plan on keeping at least one. I am also fully prepared to roll out a fest with both of them on the lineup lol.
