...is it hardest to pick the best album from their back catalogue (hope ive phrased that right).

For me its ATCQ by a long shot, especially between thier 2nd and 3rd albums but the fact i love 'Scenario' edges me towards Low End Theory.

EPMD and Das EFX are also a tough one to call.

I think it would very hard to pick an album from EPMD's catalogue. I guess what makes it so tough is I haven't heard a single f*cking song from them and I don't know what EPMD stands for. Really makes it hard. I guess I would choose their seminal work Phatty Bass-O-Matik N Da Streetz. But again, that's a tough call because an album with such a name might not actually exist.

It's all about consistency. I think p. diddy has been consistently bad, so I have a very hard time picking the best album from his back catalogue.

i love it when a thread takes off

i guess you're refering to the first one 'dead serious' as most do but i personally like the second one much more. bakeneefk, kray with da books etc

How can you choose something whose existence you aren't actually sure of?

Interesting metaphysical concept there and, like you say, a ruddy bloody tough call indeed.

ok

which hip hop act is it hardest to distinguish their best album, from among their entire back catalogue.

i gave epmd and atcq as examples because their albums are relatively close in terms of overall quality

GDXQ without a DOUBT. I don't care if they're not black, their stuff is without a doubt the shiznit. I couldn't pick their best album if your life depended on it. Really. You'd be dead.
