Over the past 47 years and counting, countless debut albums have been recorded and released, however, there is a short list of debut projects that have impacted the culture, influenced and inspired peers and fans alike, and still hold up as masterpieces to this day. In addition, a great conceptual effort, where the rapper plays off a central plot, is a great mark of an album that will have an impact far beyond its release date. Whether you're talking about fighting the power or are waxing poetic about the drug trade, the level of lyrical mastery and the sound of the beats are what takes the themes and adds color and flavor to them. When appraising the quality of a debut album, there are a few attributes that are necessary to garner consideration as a classic: lyrics, production, cohesion and originality. In hip-hop, the debut album is integral to building the mystique and cache that separates the legendary solo artists, duos and crews from the rest of the pack. Plus, more times than not, there are plenty of lyrics included that detail the future once they've attained a level of success they're content with. It's an amalgamation of their thoughts, ideas and experiences up to that point, as well as a solidified introductory of their artistry. The release of a rapper's debut album is a landmark moment in their creative journey.
