Super Tight, though Ridin Dirty is better and should have been the UGK album that got nominated. I've already expressed my disdain for BIDC and it's also not a hip hop album.

I love both these albums pretty much equally, but the decision is easy. Super Tight was pretty much the blueprint for Southern hip-hop that came afterwards, creating a funky sound that resembled Willie Hutch or the Meters more than it did James Brown (New York hip-hop) or George Clinton (West Coast), and featuring a pair of MCs with almost unmatched chemistry and charisma. Boy in da Corner was the first grime full-length to really capture the public's imagination, and it's arguable that it's the genre's definitive document (though I'd also put forward arguments for some of those early-2000s pirate radio sets, and early Wiley instrumentals obviously). But yeah, there's almost nothing to choose between these two albums, but Super Tight is certainly the better hip-hop album, on the basis that it's actually a hip-hop album. And, in a hip-hop album tournament, it just wouldn't feel right to vote for Dizzee. I understand others may feel different, and that's their prerogative. But I can't bring myself to vote for a grime album, especially in a matchup in which its opponent is one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever made.

I still find it hard to believe that Boy in da Corner isn't in our top 750. Hell, it's not even in our top 1500. That's kinda wacky. I haven't heard the other record yet but it will have to be something pretty special to beat out Dizzee Rascal.
