2005 Revisit: is it the GOAT 00s year for rap?

[BK The Great]

The mixtapes made in that time could compete with the albums too.

 

[NoHalfWay]

2015 the greatest this millennium unless you strictly talking '00-'09

2015 was the last monumental year in hip hop altogether. From the music down to the beefs and fukkery, mainstream & underground

Before that, 2005 was THAT year. Too many classics

No it wasn't!

2000!!!!

negged!

I just saw that Late Registration dropped in August '05 but I'm positive I was hearing that album like 6 months before that. I may be misremembering the time...

You inspired me to do my annual revisit which I've been doing for the last two decades.

I've never thought it was a bad album. It's objectively terrific and really well made but I'll always prefer Finding Forever, even though it has more duds. Be is a little too mellow for my tastes.

The People, Southside and The Game >>> anything on Be.

I gotta respectfully disagree I think Be is easily his best work!
