eminem probly gonna be the popular answer
I voted 50 because documentary was the first west coast album in years to be that good, not just to dudes from cali... Get rich had a lot of radio hits but If I had to I would just trade his albums in and enjoy his mixtapes.
MMLP is a classic, yall need to GTFO out here with the bullshyt, I am tired of people discrediting Em cause he aint from the hood black people know and respect, yea his music was about some random poor white people shyt, but his pen game, word play, ability to completely stay on the beat, was amazing and the fact that EVERYONE at that time knew he was one of if not the best rapper out back then. He made you respect him lyrically on that album he made me like a white rapper..
