Best 3 Album Run In Rap History???

Illmatic, It Was Written and I Am...


DMX's 1-3 are real close. His third album wasn't as good as 1-2. Em's 1-3 is in the conversation. Can't go wrong with either of these.

These plus Hov did it twice:

Reasonable Doubt
In my lifetime Vol 1
Vol 2. Hard knock life

Blueprint
Blueprint 2
Black Album

Sigel:

The Truth
The Reason
The B Coming

Nas:
Illmatic
It was written
I am

DMX crazy year with 2 albums at #1, 3rd wasnt that good but it was carried by the other two.

And based on the scale you'd be remiss to leave out Ja Rule's run, he had radio on lock

Venni Vetti Vecci
Rule
3:36

Jeezy's first 3 were tough too.


Can't imagine many of the current artists being in conversations like this a decade or more from now.

Hard to top Outkast

Atliens to Aquemini to Stankonia

Pac Me againist the world to All eyez on Me to 7 day theory


For those saying Kanye they going how hard the first two were Graduation wasn't on the same level as the others

Pac and Kast both dropped their best Albums by the third go around. Hell its Pac magnum opus
 
Graduation >>>>>>

Cant tell me nothing is easily one of his best singles

OutKast might get it forreal, Ice Cube is a good one as well as Em and DMX, but it's others u can name Fat Joe first three was good too! PAC is def in there for the ones y'all named! J**** is in although vol 1 wasn't that good as ppl make it to be, Kanye is def in there tho! Scarface shoulda got mentioned, Eightball n MJG def in there! Too short could make the list also, I would include Dr Dre but He only has 2 albums that NWA soundtrack didn't count to me as a album from him! What bout Talib Kweli??? What about Ghostface? Iron man then Supreme Clientele then Bulletproof Wallets? He def should be on there! What about Raekwon??? What about AZ??? I ain't saying Nelly was super great but he def had a good run too! Tribe too! Common as well, Mobb Deep too
 
Yeah I'm not even trying to hate hard on Kanye at all i just think people quickly crowning him champ was a bit premature there are too many just to call it.
 
I hate how ppl talk bout Graduation like its a bad album. Theres only one trash song on it & if you switch it with that bonus track Good Night then that album would be almost flawless as well

Hes prob 3rd on my list of best 3 album run behind Kendrick & Outkast
 
I never though YG would be one of my favorite rappers when toot it n boot it came out.

I swear there was a NTer who hated hard on him back then
 
I said in history. Yall naming dudes with just good runs. But who really has a 3 album run comparable to Kast, Em, and Cube?? ****** in here naming DMX and Jeezy lol. YG wt??

Bro chill aside from Barry Bonds, I Wonder, Cant Tell Me Nothing, I Wonder and Flashing Lights that album is mediocre at best....
 
Those were all consistent and excellent

I forgot about atcq too.
Those 3 were amazing
 
Also a couple others who haven't been named yet but deserve a mention...

De La Soul from De La Soul Is Dead to Stakes Is High
Redman's first 3 albums
Common from Resurrection to LWFC
Xzibit's first 3 albums
