It's really beginning to piss me off, how hard everybody sleeps on the greatness of that album.

Don't act as if disc 2 wasn't

This is a great thread.

Good read OP. You accidentally said you hated Finding Forever though when you meant to put Universal Mind Control.

You've been on a roll lately with these "Decade" threads Nay, good work champ. You basically covered everything inyour post. There are alot of things I loved about this decade that can't be covered in just one statement, but the one thing that I didn't care for or"hated" was ringtone rappers. I think that's the one thing that almost brought hip hop music down and almost made it bad for future generations. I'll be back later to post more.

Coming from a guy who claimed Soulja Boy was MORE hip hop than NaS...

 

[blackmagnus514]

Solid list and i agree with most of it...Untitled needs some sort of recognition. The album dropped in perfect time. too much BS was going on in music and thegravity of the album made it stand out to me. I'd go as far to put it in the personal classic list.

Supreme Clientele is one of the best albums this decade...

For sophomore albums, i'da added Time Is Money...that album is severely overlooked due to the beef with 50 and the delay.

I'd also put The B.Coming up there as well. Album is stellar.

LOL
SMH at the jab though
Just got back from going through more of the list
Quality wasn't a good album? R U mad? One of the better albums of the decade
Quality > Train Of Thought IMO
Now if u said the Beautiful Struggle I'd probably agree, but u high for that one

Quality was decent @ BEST... I was a HUGE fan of underground hip hop and was really looking foward to him takingthat step as an actual solo artist, and as much as I LOVE Hi Tek's production I figuired Kweli working with others wouldnt be too bad ofan idea... But it didn't come out sounding AS good

No way its better than Train Of Thought... IMO Quality isn't THAT much better than Beautiful Struggle whch is also AVERAGE

 

[presumed]

U forgot Tha Carter III.... if u cant recognize the importance and dopeness of the CD, then nothing more needs to be said

 

[harlem on the rise]

We don't even talk about Carter 3 like Bleprint or Stillmatic... & C3 dropped LAST year....

Carter III is a classic in my book.. joint did a mil in one week, that alone speaks for itself about the impact it had on society.. I thought OP's list waswell thought out and I agreed with almost all of his selections, so I'm just gonna leave it at that

 

[mali700]

not much left to say to be honest..
