Capital Punishment was #1 . NORE was a very distant 2nd to me. Moment of Truth was ok too. Everything else was weak as hell.

I'd say it's like that last episode of Seinfeld, but Seinfeld may be Dustin Hoffman status to you!

volume 2 hard knock life
flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
all classics. yes.
JD had a few embarrassing tracks on there, but aside from those, this chit was a str8 banger from start-to-finish.
aquemini was just meh-meh, to be real wit'cha. solid at best.

This guy just posted 'he got game'. Smh.
I think it's time you come to grips with being the owner of poor taste. That Jermaine album, which I got for the Preemo beat, was absolute garbage.
Skew It On The BBQ alone crushes that album.

400 Degreez>Aquemini.
Hot Boyz>Kast
I always got shyt for sayin that on the internet. But TBH..everybody was listening to Cash Money in 98-99..hardly anybody except for the real hip-hoppy nikkas was into Kast like that. I mean nikkas fukked with their singles but i hardly ever heard people hypin em up like that growing up.
The first 2 Kast joints are the only one's i ever heard my uncles/big homies actually listening to.

the one thing I remember most about 98 was the album ads in the source with the lists of 567 fukking guest appearances on an album i.e Jermaines wack ass shyt, Mack 10s album, e40 element of surprise. I think some of these albums even had the guest appearances listed on the fukkin cover. shyt was a fukkin JOKE.
You thought NORE was that strong huh? I spent a lot of time with disc in 98, but its an album that I haven't gone back to in a decade.
Aquemini was a gem. Just peep the songs that were on it:
Return of the G
Rosa Parks
Skew It
Aquemini
Slump
West Savannah
Da Art 1 and 2
Spottie Opie
Chonkyfire
And although it wasn't my joint - everyone seemed to love Mamacita.
How is an album with that many elite level songs 3.5 or average? People did t force themselves to like it - people liked it bc it was another amazing album from Kast. They hit the three peat.
niccas didn't watch that chitty-chit. we watched RAP CITY. besides, I didn't even know there was a TRL in '98. I thought they were still airing that other show. I think it was called "mtv live".
and as far as outkast goes, I didn't even know they dropped on the same day as jay. matter fact; iirc, I didn't even know they got 5 mics until like months after the fact. definition of no impact.
the only moment that came outta that album was rosa parks poppin up out the woodwork to criticize them for using her name. and that was only a moment because ALOT of people(including myself) ignorantly kind of assumed that she died in the '80s or something. SHOCKING.
"its all good" and "flesh of my flesh" a 2 of the best tracks to you?
meh.
how can an album be rated highly based on content?
like how does that even work?
if I rap about pencils, do I get a higher rating than I would've gotten if I rapped about keyboards?
were you alive in '99?
because dmx was on top of that year as well.
and you couldn't drop weak albums and still be considered elite back then. just ask his co-star.
How did you not know Aquemini was dropping? Rosa Parks was huge and he wore that ridiculous outfit in the video. Plus if you went to the record store to pick up Jay - wouldn't have Kast been right there? Also - did you not talk to anyone about hip hop for a few months or read any media?
