word if i was to make a honorable mention(s) it would be on there along with albums like smif n wessun - dah shinin, mobb deep - the infamous, 2pac - all eyez on me, and az - doe or die

 

[Funcrusher]

Binary Star - Masters of the Universe
Cunninlynguists - Southernunderground
Eminem - MMLP/Eminem Show (tie, first records I really listened too)
G-Unit - Beg for Mercy (ironically the album that got me into hiphop definitely, I was as big a G-Unit stan as any 14 year old at the time, even though my environment wasn't havin it)
Immortal Technique - Revolutionary vol. 2
Wu Tang - 36 Chambers
Jay-Z - American Gangster (not his best, but man those nights we'd play this, play Pro Evo 5 then go out)
Nas - Illmatic (sorry, but I listened to it so much and still do, has to be on here)
Ghostface - Ironman (my favorite mc)

I can't decide on the 10th album I'd put here.

it's a bit all over the place, but that's what you get when you start listening to hiphop in 02/03

I don't do top 10 lists but one CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED album is Uptown Saturday Night

It had that joint on there.... that posse cut.

I ALWAYS skip it.

any song that has the overused punchline "I bring Christmas on Halloween: Give 'em Hell" = AUTOMATIC skip.

Loved that album. It's too bad that they didn't do much after that.

Why not, these are personal lists. Alot of people wouldn't be on this board and supporting other hiphop artists if it wasn't for him. Whether you like that or not is whole nother discussion, but that's how it is.

 

[DStyles]

It's hard for me to make a top 10 rap album as I always end up changing it. All I know is that GRODT is #1 on that list and will remain on that list.

You're talking about white people right?

 

[Funcrusher]

You're talking about white people right?

Yeah I guess, but I'm not going to argue about whether white people should support hiphop or not, fact is they do, and for some, maybe alot of people that started with Eminem.
