that cuban linx 2 was such a banger. i was happy with it.
i fux with almost all the albums on the list.
Yasssss!!!! :o)
Where the FUCK is “Looks Like A Job For?”. Queen Latifah’s “Black Reign”, MC Lyte “Ain’t No Other”, etc. What are the parameters or criterion otherwise Wu Tang Clan “Forever”, The Fugees “The Score” or Artifacts “That’s Them” should be on this list, too…
I immediately blasted “Go To Church” after I saw LN, CL on this list.
But this was a great list y’all, didn’t even miss anything IMO.
*cough* American Gangster *close cough*
The Score definitely shoulda made the list
actually i dont think The Score qualifies as a comeback…it basically put the Fugees on
Umm Pac’s All Eyez On Me was released in 96…not 2005.
And how was Paper Trail a comeback album for TI when he had successful albums each year before 08?…
All Eyez on Me in 2005?!
“…we’d expected Mike to fall off like half of the rest of the Dungeon Family.”
sad but extremely true.
And how was Paper Trail a comeback album for TI when he had successful albums each year before 08?…
——————————
Cause T.I. vs T.I.P. sucks/sucked.
#7 = owling
^*dead*
Does Blueprint 3 count as a comeback?
I did slingshot him back into the mainstream…and it had the sickest album commercial EVER lol
@Who Pooted?
SMH haha
i completely agree w/ common’s BE album, a close to perfect masterpiece imo

What? He’s needs a comeback from THAT jwn. AG was super ill.
No Black Album? Being from the west coast, it was the only Jay album I gave a fuck about.
===============
Someone told me that album wasn’t perfect. I scoffed.

Cool breeze really the only df dude who don’t put out music.
The funny thing about Bone is that every project they’ve done since their infamous E.1999 Eternal has been a comeback album. That’s their biggest problem. Either way, Resurrection was probably their most legitimate.
===================
Soooooo true lol but still kinda sad tho…
Great list, but I probably would have included Mos Def’s The Ecstatic.
Cause T.I. vs T.I.P. sucks/sucked.
____________________________
Paper Trail sucked/sucks too though.
Blackout 2 is straight garbage, and Bone Thugs haven’t been relevant since Art of War (isn’t the album on this list the song they did with Phil fucking Collins? GTFO). Otherwise, pretty good list.
Big Mike eclipsing Willie D? Nope. Dead Wrong.
Agree about The Ecstatic needing to be on here.
Paper Trail sucked/sucks too though.
===================================
Trippin’
Mama Said Knock You Out saved LL career; after seeing him at Harlem Week getting booed off the Stage in tears. I didn’t think he could come back from that
Paper Trail does suck, as does that ti tip bullshit. TI hasn’t made a good album in a very long time
Supreme Clientele should probably be on here too. Not so much for Ghostface but the Wu as a whole. Supreme Clientele made Wu relevant again after a string a mediocre-to-terrible solo releases.
recovery is wack
relapse > recovery
lmao @ that ice cube album being up there tho.
Great post
Stillmatic was my first CD, got it 4 my birthday. <–this and Be and The Chronic 2001 are classics.
Does people counting you out thinking your mythical album doesn’t exist, but drop a critically acclaim album count as a comeback. If so “Greatest Story Never Told” should be on the list
i always thought finding forever > BE. altho i had cats call me out for that. BE was a little short imo and that “testify” song irks me… either way, it’s sorta like a package deal. finding forever is BE’s sequel (similar production, feel) and both were a welcome addition to com’s discography…
wtf was dude thinking with his latest jawn? lol
From the title i thought The Fix was gonna be on here. Guess Face never fell off too hard though so maybe it doesnt qualify. Common needs another comeback album. Lots of people need them actually.
howbout Get Rich or Die Tryin? I know he hadn’t released an LP yet but that was one helluva comeback……
and Blackout2? really?
Clipse’s Hell Hath No Fury should be on here.
I remember when Monkey Barz dropped and I didn’t even realise it was “Big Ruckus from Bucktown” BCC/HeltahSkeltah….. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. Fuckin dope album btw. OB4CL2 and Doomsday were both truly great comebacks
Don’t call it a comeback – LL Cool J (‘s voice)
No Black Album? Being from the west coast, it was the only Jay album I gave a fuck about.

JUSTIFY MY THUG HAS NO PLACE ON A PERFECT ALBUM!!!!
I woulda of put up Rakim’s The 18th Letter on that list.
How is Doctor’s Advocate a comeback album when it’s his 2nd album, and the first was incredibly successful?
stillmatic was the first cd i ever bought with my own money at 11 years old. didnt kno it was a comeback album til years later lol. but it definately reminded every1 nas > jay-z my 2nd favorite album ever after illmatic haha
Dr. Dre’s 2001 was released in 1999!
I should give you some other lessons.
Paper trail is garbage. ya’ll should know better.
Who fuck with D.Block Jadakiss Styles P Sheek Louch ?
no body cause they will ripp any song name it even that otis shit Styles P will do the hardest out Jadakiss will send a disease on your body Don G will ripp your head off

I am so glad that someone besides me have the balls to acknowledge that EM’s Recovery album was total pop bullshit. Now I love the new Hell: The Sequel by him and Royce Da 5’9. Royce is a beast. Check out his Death is Certain album.
pilot talk shouldve been on here. cash money’s original drake, weezy ditched spitta. and now he has shown he is commercially viable and currently more on everyones radar than weezy.
MF DOOM
