Headphones report : Top 3 rap albums to listen to with headphones
Nas Ilmatic
Ilmatic is definitely one the best rap albums ever recorded. It the first album of Nas and probably is best. Songs like ""N.Y. State of Mind" became classics.
If you're an East Coast rap fan you definitely want to listen to that album with headphones. You'll be transported immediately to New York and Queensbridge.
If you're not a rap fan you also have to listen to that album at least once. The album deals important themes like poverty and gang related problems. However, it's not commercial gangsta rap. The album features well-written lyrics who really describes well the frustration of a young man raised in the ghetto.
Tupac - "All Eyez on Me"
What's really interesting with Tupac is that you get everything from his albums. He was a guy who loved Shakespeare and Tchaikovsky. As a matter of fact he studied ballet dancing growing up.
So he knew what art was. He was also politically conscious since his parents were involved in the Black Panther Party.
But he knew also the reality of the music industry. He knew he had to say he was a thud to sell more albums.
An other very interesting fact about him is that he was a reader of Machiavelli. So, it's sometimes hard to know what was really true or not about Tupac.
In this album there are some gangsta-rap songs like ""2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" or "California love". These songs are really enjoyable with headphones. Especially the chorus of "California love" by Roger Troutman.
There are also songs with more deep lyrics like "Life Goes on" or "Heartz of men". This is what is interesting with Tupac Shakur.
He was a complex individual and his songs reflected that. Listen to this album with headphones but also try to study his life, you'll love the journey.
Notorious BIG "Life After Death"
Notorious BIG was a former friend and rival of Tupac Shakur. His personality is maybe a little less complex but a lot people will tell you he is equally talented.
Notorious BIG had a lot of swagger, despite his weight problems. He inspired a lot of people by showing that it's possible to achieve massive success even with his weight.
With your headphones, you will love songs like "Hyptnotize" or "Going Back to Cali"
There are a lot of great headphones. But even the best headphones have sometimes low bass quality. You have to compare headphones by reading reviews before you buy one.
