6. The Roots - Illadelph Halflife
7. Souls Of Mischief - 93 Til Infinity
8. Black Moon - Enta Da Stage
9. Camp Lo - Uptown Saturday Night
10. Jeru The Damaja - The Sun Rises In The East
My top ten Hip Hop singles are:
1. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - Catch A Bad One
2. Mos Def - Brooklyn
3. Craig Mack - Flava In Ya Ear
4. Dream Warriors - Are We There Yet
5. The Fugees - How Many Mics
6. Group Home - Livin' Proof
7. Lords Of The Underground - Funky Child
8. Nas - The Message
9. Public Enemy - Give It Up
10. Feel Me Flow - Naughty By Nature _________________ "Bunch of opinionated, hipster twats!"

Ready to Die? Illmatic? Blueprint 3? 3 Feet High and Rising? Low End Theory? My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? 36 Chambers? Supreme Clientele? The Chronic? Staight Outta Compton?
I would discount any hip-hop top ten that doesn't have at least two of these on the list.

4. Outkast - Stankonia
5. Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt

Have to agree with Low End Theory & 36 Chambers - great albums. Straight Outta Compton has its merits, 3 Feet High & Rising is pretty good overall - minus the skits which i find a bit annoying. Can't believe i forgot about Illmatic - thats an awesome album.
Unfortunately i have to skip over Ready to Die - I relate Biggie to around the time Sean Puffy Combs appeared - which IMO was also when Hip Hop started to go down hill...
Blueprint 3 - I never understood why Jay-Z is so highly rated - always thought he was an average MC. Also the same with Kanye West too.
Supreme Clientele - will check this out, big fan of any Wu Tang stuff - Method Man is my favourite.
Also noticed that i've left off any mention of Jurassic 5 - always put out quality albums! _________________ "Bunch of opinionated, hipster twats!"

chemical, you can't discount an album based on its associations; just listen to Ready to Die and love that poopoo (it's like a hardcore Illmatic). I don't like Kanye as a person but like his music; disassociate the music from the maker, and you will love so much more music. You're not trying to make friends with Biggie or anything
