Some of Ya'll nikkaz is weird shyttin' on @mobbinfms opinion The Infamous definitely up there for Greatest album of all time. The weak track on there is Party's Over every other song is all time classic. Not many albums compare

Oughta stab your brain with ya nosebone by throwing a tv at you for not tagging me in the OP 
I'll put Infamous and HOE up against any album of any genre, two masterpieces.
P my eternal #3 GOAT, Hav my #3 GOAT producer, Mobb my #3 GOAT group.
When Hegelian Dialect comes to streaming it's game over I'm putting that on repeat for at least 3 months straight.

Album probably gets more streams off of “Shook Ones” alone. Also, Mobb Deep and the Infamous got that whiteboy stimmy off the strength of “Shook Ones” and “Survival of the fittest” being featured on 8 Mile. I’m surprised Infamous didn’t go platinum after that because white Eminem stans gravitated towards anything he co-signed in the early 2000’s.
And Infamous going only Gold in the 90’s was actually a feat back in then. Cuban Linx only went Gold back then too. Reasonable Doubt only went Gold in 96’ too, didn’t go plat until years later. Illmatic didn’t go gold until the It Was Written era two years later. Hip Hop was still very much an underground phenomenon in the 90’s. Only rap dudes moving heavy units in 95-96’ was Biggie, Pac and Nas once he traded his army suit for a pink suit.
If we being honest, albums like Reasonable Doubt stood the test of time better than Infamous because no one is on that “fukk looking cute I’m strictly Timb boots and army certified suits” wave anymore.
That shyt died literally the next year in 96’. 
By 96’, everyone was on some flexing shyt. Even Pac and Nas. nikkas try to look cuter than ever now wearing “designer” brands traditionally worn by women and wearing purses and shyt. San Quinn and Messy Marv Explosive Mode matches the themes of this current era more than the Infamous. They rapping about Gucci, Versace, breaking bytches and flexing.

Little over half.
This is true for many of the albums in the list. The majority of the streaming comes from 3-4 songs.
So you think they are streaming in 2022 because of a scene in a 20 year old movie?
Ok.
It was. But Infamous and Illmatic are the only 90s albums that weren’t commercial juggernauts to be in the top 15.
Infamous should not be out streaming E.1999 Eternal for example. Which went 4x platinum and had a single that went #1 for 8 weeks.
Reasonable Doubt isn’t streaming like that, although to be fair to Jay, he did lose 2 years on Spotify when he pulled his catalog.

It’s an opinion based on facts and data. It’s all science
