[chris.timbs]

I am really into Dr Dre - Chronic and 2001!

Top albums!!!

[kissofdeath42]

The Blueprint was a classic

[Mc_Ritalin]

how do people even dare to make 50cent share a top 10 spot.. in anything... he is nothing more then a bragger nd boaster... and thats all he does

if you want the best albums.. look at 2pac and BIG their albums really made a difference for people and still does...

then you have the old records of grandasterflash .. those also made a difference.. and the first battle track maker i believe it was that girl roxanne.. who dissed evryone nd stuff.. if i remember it the right way around

those where the times of the good albums.... you simply cant make a top 10 cause there are so many albums wich are never released,heared,bought

just tought i'd add up to the conversation.

[the bottomline]

since all these responses are mere opinions and we all will never agree on the same exact list
there should have been a poll added to this thread so we can vote then comprise a list no one could argue

:king:

[Mangle]

In no particular order:
- Buck 65 Square
- Non-Prophets Hope
- Black Sheep A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
- Paris Sleeping With The Enemy ("Iraq never called me n*gg*r")
- Fu-Shnickens Nervous Breakdown
- Public Enemy Fear Of A Black Planet
- Sole Selling Live Water
- Immortal Technique Revolutionary Vol. 1
- Aesop Rock Labor Days
- Blackalicious Nia

Though it should be noted People Under The Stairs, Snoop Dogg Doggystyle, cLOUDDEAD Ten, DJ Vadim, Madvillain, and several Dan The Automator projects deserve to be on that list too.
