Fucking hell.I know its all opinion but any serious Hip-Hop fan is going to laugh at this list unless you throw Aquamini and ATLiens in there.Top 20 at least.

EPMD Strictly Business wasn't in the 90's

I knew i would take some heat for not including ATLiens

I didn't read it super closely- so these may be on there- but neither digable planets? First L.O.N.S.? Heavy Rhyme Experience? Ed OG? MF Doom? Yes- have to agree on outkast

But word- all my other favorites are on here.

How can you not list Gang Starr's "Moment of Truth?" I'd have it #2 behind only Illmatic. MOT was Premier's masterpiece.

You guys are taking me down memory lane with this one. I got ur back with the Outkast argument but i gotta admit that Big L's Lifestyles.... has got to be on the top 50 at least! Only 2 joints i never copped was the Chi Ali and Poor Righteous Teachers. Plus i gotta say that Killarmy album is garbage. i'll send anyone who wants my copy for Free!
