Yo, hip hop heads! We just realized something wild that’s got us scratching our heads here at TRILL. November 23rd might just be the most stacked date in hip hop history, and we didn’t even know it until now. Four legendary albums, four completely different vibes, all dropped on the same exact day, just different years.
We’re talking about some serious heat here: Snoop Dogg’s game-changing Doggystyle in ’93, Nas dropping Nastradamus in ’99, Del The Funky Homosapien blessing us with No Need For Alarm also in ’93, and The Diplomats coming through with Diplomatic Immunity 2 in 2004.
Real talk, this got us thinking, if you could only pick ONE of these joints to bump for the rest of your life, which one you rolling with? Let’s break these down and see what’s what.
Each of these albums represents a different era and style of hip hop. Doggystyle is that West Coast G-funk classic that changed everything. No Need For Alarm is that underground gem for the true heads. Nastradamus shows Nas adapting and experimenting. Diplomatic Immunity 2 is that East Coast flashiness at its finest.
There’s no wrong answer here, that’s what makes this so dope. November 23rd gave us four completely different flavors of hip hop excellence, and each one speaks to different parts of what makes this culture so beautiful.
Drop your pick in the comments and tell us WHY you’re riding with that album. What makes it special to you? What memories do you have connected to it? We want to hear all about it!
