Pretty good mix of artists - love that you included 2001 & Doggystyle. But you've missed on the album picks for a few: 2 Mos Def albums including his most recent, but no Blackstar? Common has several albums better than Go, including Resurrection & Like Water For Chocolate. I love vol. 2, but Jay-Z's first, Reasonable Doubt, is undeniably his best. The 50 cent and, probably, Kid Cudi don't belong, especially without Illmatic on your list.

From a rap prospective i'll give it 70, but, my if it wasn't just rap, it would be much lower
