A Trilogy of Hip Hop Trilogies

Fantastic list, that, all fire 🔥

Now, if you wanna know my favorite hip hop records of all time:

RVLTN

• Chapter 1: The Divided States of AmeriKKKa
• Chapter 2: The Art of Resistance
• Chapter 3: The Price of Freedom

Bobby Sessions joins the giants of hip hop with this one.

Sad, Fat Luck

• Sad, Fat Luck
• Sans Soleil
• Bring Us the Head of Francisco False
  • Part 1: The Day You Realize That You Mean Nothing is Everything
  • Part 2: One Day They'll Never Know That This Existed

In Ceschi I find a kindred spirit, an intimately familiar angst.

I know it's already a bit of a stretch to call this one a trilogy, so you'll have to forgive me when I add that if you want the full experience you should add This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years of Our Lives between Sans Soleil and Bring Us the Head of Francisco False.

A Pragmatist's Guide to Revolution

• YOU BETTER WEAPONIZE
• War Balloons
• All Dressed Up, No Funeral

To the best of my knowledge, Guante has never called this a trilogy; but these records fit together like they were made to go together, so it's a trilogy to me.

Honorable Mentions

It's very difficult for me to limit myself 😅

38th & Chicago Ave

• 38th
• Chicago Ave

'Nuff said.

Worlds Not Yet Gone

Sole's concept album, a sci-fi tale of our near future told by the Poet of the Void, is one of those stories that will stick with me until the day I die, you know? Masterful storytelling. Haunting. I always need the instrumentals at the end to reflect.
