2000-04 for me

In real time?? Stillmatic, Blueprint, Get Rich and Come Home With Me all felt like those ones.

I’d have to think about what I would choose in retrospect, but at the time those were probably my top four. CHWM is debatable though, those first three are most solos for me.

Edit: replace CHWM with Lord Willin. I went to high school in VA though so I’m sure that influenced that, but that was HUGE in my area.
