Both run the jewels, kanye discography less heartbreak and pablo, death grips the money store, good kid should be on the list. A thought out list is too much work. Outkast is my favorite rap act of all time but stankonia is just okay.

Ummmmmmm WHERE IS NELLY COUNTRY GRAMMAR?

FRAUDULENT LIST

[Witty]

I personally would have Em's first three in my top 30...with MMLP being in the top 5, Common 'Be' had a big impact on me, Stankonia is top 20 somewhere, @Certain I thought you would have rated MBDTF higher, I would, not a lot, but a little. TPAB was a work of art, Good kid mad city was dope. I will nearly like anything Jay does at this point tbh...yeah, i'm not making a list but i like the guys i said, and other guys i didn't say too.

[Witty]

One thing I've been meaning to ask....how is Relapse not just an incredible album? For a start, to go from Encore to Relapse is an achievement in its self. I honestly think it is hugely underrated.

SSLP is from 1999.

I'd probably have Eminem Show in my top 30-40, and Relapse probably top 50, but that's also taking into account the number of good albums that I haven't listened to.

No love for The Mouse & The Mask?

Aesop Rock being top anything makes ur lists/ opinions void

Thx

Same goes for having crooked lips

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

pretty cool list

id have maybe had Ali a little higher

personally i love Jay and would have had blueprint as his best, black album dope though.. and i like kingdom come which catches a lot of hate here haha

when was Chronic 2001 released? just before 2000? that didnt make peoples list?

damn. must be 1999 or some shit

i love Tame One - When Rappers Attack too, pretty much 80% of that album bumps to me

Louis Logic shit with the track Cootchie on it is crazy nice as well

I might throw Quality and Cold Vein somewhere, but idk where.

yeah that 50 GRODT went harddddddddd in the whip

i'd have prob dropped Black Album down, Rip The Jacker (maybe its a time thing, certain older than a lot of you guys) and that aesop rock shit a no fly zone around here obv haha-

[uh-oh]

the blueprint should always be above the black album. come home with me is better than purple haze. hell hath no fury should never be above lord willin, GRODT is top 5, etc

certain how old are you?

i feel like im probably a couple years older at least according to my theory that when you're like 13-16 is when you like music the most or whatever. like shit released then hits home better

because alot of the stuff you posted is like the album after the album i think is their best

if that makes sense

[oats]

I like Rip the Jacket, and what online text battler hasn't gone through a Canibus phase, but idk about it being in the top 15 albums in the last 15 years. Certain is roughly my age I think, maybe a year or two older. I think uh-oh is in the same range (I was born in 88, fwiw).

[uh-oh]

word. 89er

i feel like certain is 23, maybe i've asked before. but that couldve been a few years ago who knows lol

[Ghost1]

I'd need to see a list of everything from 2000- 2015 but mmlp can Def go in the top 30....also I've always held blueprint in higher regard then black album....but they're almost interchangeable. ....black album was phemonal. Also not sure if I agree w the sentiment of come home w me being better then purple haze.......for the longest time I was pro haze.....recently I been feeling come home w me heaaaaavy....Prolly need to give haze another spin to be fair tho. But yea cam is in the top 20 w one of his efforts point blank period. He took the game over wen he made dipset blow.

Should make a mixtape list

[uh-oh]

I hate how people act like guest spots somehow negatively affect an album. Its only with hip hop too lol. Back in the day if someone got duane allman or someo e to play on there shit it was like yea thats awesome and made it better not OH THEY NEEDED DUANE TO MAKE IT BETTER LOLZTHEYSUCK

but yea thats why come home with me was so great, not just because cam but the guest spots. Jay killed it. Juelz was better than he ever was on anything else. Even jim jones did his thing.

And people dont like the dynasty cuz of guest appearances. Its like wtf. You dont wanna hear beanie and free and etc.

I dunno people are weird sometimes

I'm two years older than you. I just have an open mind, and I tend to think artists grown and improve. I also listen to albums end to end, without skipping and without shuffle play. I own CDs. I'm older than you.

Hell Hath No Fury was a clearly better album than Lord Willin'. It was a more unique statement that felt less like the Neptunes found two good rappers than a group with a mission.

[ill nik-A]

I'm older than both of u and Aesop Rock represents everything that isn't hip hop

You're welcome!
