And yes, I know you would switch College Dropout and Yeezus.

honestly a bit surprised by how high you rank the Black Album and Rip the Jacker, but both are defensible opinions. I'd put Blueprint number 1 and bump Black Album down to #10 tops, and Get Rich or Die Tryin would be somewhere in the top 15. no Eminem in the top 30 though? other than that, it sits well with me. I might throw Quality and Cold Vein somewhere, but idk where.


oh, I would also switch College Dropout and Yeezus.
