Raekwon tells his top 10 albums of all time
- Thread starter get these nets
- Start date
Raekwon's taste in music is
Too much rap music.
He got Keith Sweats album but not Anita Baker's Rapture?
He grew up in the golden age of R&B but nothing from that era? And he doesn't list anything after 2000
That's his list.
You could nitpick and critique everyone's lists. What's the point? It's music and all subjective.

But My Life was a better album than the Infamous. I think Ready To Die did more to birth East Coast gangsta rap than the Infamous didDespite being a great album, My Life isn’t in the same universe as Thriller. I just think The Infamous is as iconic and seminal an album as any rap effort from the golden era. It birthed east coast street rap the same way Straight Outta Compton did west coast gangster rap.

Rappers are terrible when recounting their age during a past hip hop experience. Rae was 15 and 18 in 1987. 
Pete Rock is notorious with this. Everytime he recounts his start with Marley, he gets younger and younger.

Yes Lawd!
That's all I can think of now. A lot of the older music I listened to I realize now I didn't have the full albums. I usually had the best ofs for people like Roy Ayers, Stevie, Marvin, EW&F, MJ, Prince, New Edition, Rick James, etc.

How is My Life? Better album than The Infamous. I guarantee you it is featured on more top 10 lists than My Life.
The Infamous is a great rap album, but if we’re talking music of all genres, sonically, it's disrespectful to My Life to mention them together.
And the world is a lot bigger than internet message boards.
Most of the world has never heard or even heard of The Infamous.

The same could be said about My Life.
Not to the same degree
