The best hip hop albums of all time _______________________________ It’s understandable if you don’t know who Joe is. A quick google search will tell you he is a rapper and member of the group Ridden Off with Joe Cool. But what you may not know is that this album, Joe, My Name Is Joe, is one of the most influential albums in hip hop history. Released in 1996 on Jive Records (now called RCA Records), this album represents a new golden age in popular hip hop music. It’s no surprise, considering Joe’s story. Joe Mama grew up in Harlem to parents that could not really provide for him. He was raised by his grandmother and his uncle, who both served as inspiration for many of the tracks on this album. His lyrics are not simply about making music but about trying to find a better life outside the nightmarish urban jungle that is his hometown. _______________________________ The album starts off strong with “Money, Power & Respect” featuring Puff Daddy. Featuring an intro from the late Notorious B.I.G. the song is an excellent combination between two of the best rappers of all time. The beat is phenomenal, with a simple beat that serves as the best backing track for Joe’s hard hitting rhymes. It’s no surprise this song was nominated for a Grammy in 1997 alongside Jay-Z’s “Dead Presidents.” _______________________________ The second single off the album, the title track to “Joe, My Name is Joe,” has one of my favorite beats on this album. Joe raps about his personal life but also uses it as a platform to comment on how he feels about his neighborhood and big city life in general. “The Valley of the Kings” is one of the stand out tracks on this album. It features one of my favorite beats on the album and contains some very vivid verses with clever word play spoken over dark, moody beats. The lyrical style of this song is similar to what Canibus would later reference as “Canibumix.” _______________________________ This albums most popular song, “All I Need is You,” has an almost jazzy beat, somewhat reminiscent of hip hop greats like A Tribe Called Quest. It’s full of feel good rhymes that are both catchy and contain strong messages that any listener can relate to. _______________________________ The final song on the album is “City to City,” a strong track that features some of Joe’s most emotional lyrics. Yes, this album is definitely more gangster than some of his later releases, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing as it serves as a perfect platform for Joe's legendary flow!A small record label focused on promoting talented new artists.
