Good point. I glossed over RD. The only other 96 album that's on the list is The Score from the Fugees (which I would take off in a heartbeat). The only album from 97 is LAD.So was reasonable doubtAnd shyt all but mama said knock you out
EDIT: SOURCE MAGAZINE BIAS PROVEN TO BE MYTH - Source Top 100 Albums list
- Thread starter mobbinfms
- Start date
This was published in January though.

3 ll cool j albums but just 1 PAC album?? The blatant east coast bias in the writing staff was justpretty much explains y the xxl take over was so easy.. Much better well rounded mag.. All ways covered wat was hott no matter the artist location.. fukk this list link the xxl top 100 for real debate
I agree they did Pac dirty but 3 LL albums is not that far fetched (Probably should of been 2 though). LL had some genre defining LP's in Hip Hop History. I know we clown LL now but let's not forget all the classic material this man dropped in his 30+ year career.
oh yes i do know, i just find it funny the coli says it became a classic after jayz said it was
and i see you know your sh!t, becuz IWW was gettin shytted on when it dropped, people that lived that era would know

OK, well at the time in 96 they gave it 4 MICS (Same as I.W.W.). LOL @ RD and IWW reviewed on the same page, talk about irony. Yet Jay tried to say I.W.W. was "Ahhh" on "Takeover".
List was published before Jigga blew up. And IWW was simultaneously acclaimed and shytted on back in 96.

Let's be clear, "It Was Written" was BIGGER than anything Jay released at the time of it's release in 96. Only Biggie, LL and NaS moved units for New York solo emcees at that point. Jigga did not enter the picture as far as "Mega" sales until after Biggie died. NaS, yes NaS was a Platinum artist long before Jay.

i have this issue in my house somewhere...
well ironically back then and even now having seen the list again
i really cant be mad at it
but to be fair im an older dude so i was able to experience these albums
some of you 90's babies just wont be able to connect
like ll cool j having 3 albums on the list
to be fair although he has a incredibly weak catalog at the times of those albums dropping there really wasnt anyone makin noise like him
so i cant even be mad at it
even today if someone wanted to make a definitive list of 100 best hip hop albums of all time and presented this EXACT list
i couldnt really be mad
yea i would wish it was written was on it or something like that but overall cant be mad

Vampirextc, I actually think this list is perfect for 90's babies to understand why the 80's and 90's will always be the best era. They should use this list to do their homework. It's a very solid list.
didn't even realize it was missing too

Mobb was it this issue? or before this issue?
Edit, never mind, this was a 2000 cover.

Why are you mad at a real niguh??
But we talkin PAC here breh.. I'm not even a PAC fan like that but his impact on hip hop music is only rivaled by big and maybe jay.. But I could live wit 2 ll albums and removing dat fugees album
agreed, becuz i loved IWW, our whole crew did... its the older cats at the time that didnt like it.
