E1999 Eternal
Adrenaline Rush
Aquemini

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

how did people react to stillmatic in school? Was it a topic that nas was "back"?

I was already on SoHH back then, a few of us always rode for Nas (shoutout to @AnonymityX1000 ) but yeah Ether really tipped the scale for Nas and Stillmatic was the finisher.

Off the top of my head:

Graduation

Be
The Black Album
Eminem Show/Madvillainy

Get Rich or Die Tryin and The Massacre were by far the biggest/most popular albums during my high school days though. Not for me personally but just the majority. 50 was massive back in the day when I think about it

Honorable Mention
Watch the Throne (technically wasn't in high school anymore)
Section 80 (same reasoning)
No Ceilings (not an album but still impactful)
So Far Gone (same as NC + I didn't consume the project as a whole in real time)


Damn Deeper Than Rap & Teflon Don are left off...

Sept 2001 to June 2006 (UK high school/ upper school)

Blueprint

goddamn I forgot the Chronic and Doggystyle. . Also Onyx debut. Yeah, it's kind of hard in those years to just pick 5 albums

in the 90s period. Looking back, damn near everything we listened to was a classic ...except for Tikal 2000
