Precedent's hip-hop tournament, I believe. Due to start pretty soon. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

Given the lack of reggae on the site, I think a best reggae album tourney would be cool. We'll nominate around 64 reggae albums, and same rules apply. I'm not sure if it'll pick up, though. I don't know how big the reggae fanfare on BEA is, but I'm willing to bet it's not so large since a lot of reggae artists on BEA have incomplete discographies on their pages. But I think this tournament could not only help bring in more reggae to the site, but increase the reggae fanhood and the knowledge that comes with it. There's a lot of underground reggae out there.
I'll dwell on how long rounds last, if people are up for it. I'm thinking five days is good, but I'll have to work around other tourneys.
I'm going to start timing.

Acrtually, I've only heard nine reggae albums, going on ten (listening to Natty Dread). Here's my chart. It's in the works.

Yeah, it would be predictable. There's bound to be a lot of Bab Marley, too. The tourney could exclude albums from the top 1000.
