Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP
Eminem - Encore

Get the **** out of here with that list. The fact that you put "Encore" on there says it all. That album was absolute TRASH. I actually like most of the albums on this list personally and bump them, but aside from Marshall Mathers LP, Stankonia and maybe College Dropout/Get Rich, this list is faulty.

In no order....

Raekwon - OB4CL2
Cormega - The Realness
Nas - Stillmatic
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Prodigy - HNIC
Camron - Purple Haze

The Game- LAX
The Game- Doctors Advocate
(I dont fn care if he does name drop. That just makes him that much more entertaining cuz he aint afraid to call anybody out. Game goes hard! All his albums are lyrical homicide! Kinda scared the new one might be more pop-ish because hes "changin things up." hope not!

Also loved most of Redman's albums, Method man, and enjoyed any other album by Kanye, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Nas, and Ludacris. Some bad mofo's!

Well all i know is that The Game-The Documentary should be up there with honorable mention or top ten. The way he Brought Air back in the west Coast with a new generation was Crazy when he first came out.

Every list on here NEEDS the Marshall Mathers LP and Food & Liquor. Ill go away and think and come back with my other 8

Reflection Eternal - Train of Thought
Binary Star - Masters of the Universe
Nas - Stillmatic
J Dilla - The Shining
People Under The Stairs - O.S.T.

Nahhh i respect those choices but i dont think either one of them are necessities. Props for sayin F&L over the Cool though, i thought i was the only one that liked F&L better.

And I think the Eminem Show had more timeless songs on it, Eminem has made a countless number of songs throughout his career that have very little replay value despite his amazing flow and lyrics.

Its amazing how many more classics the 90's had then the 2000's, but if i had to pick one album that I think is the best from this decade...I would go with Supreme Clientele as well, its not even my favorite but the impact it had, the production on it, and Ghosts lyrics...plus the other clans members.

I disagree. If you look at the first post of the thread, i've listed many albums i consider great. It's hard to narrow it down to 10, but there are plenty great albums from this decade, some i'd consider classic's.

The 00's have not been as strong as the 90's, but i don't think hip hop will ever be the same as that era, especially when you consider the diverse styles that came from the early 90's to the more mainstream sound of the late 90's.
