Am i overlooking The Infamous, Illmatic, Blueprint and the Low End Theory?

their singles waves weren't quite as big as their albums.

infamous & illmatic lacked the hits & sales. and their impact was more about the album than most of the singles.
tribe lacked the sales and they had hits but they didn't really have HITS.
blueprint's singles wave was underwhelming in comparison to those. he had "izzo" and a couple classic features. "girls girls girls" was aird but it wasn't hittin like THAT.

but hey, you can still try to convince me to move them up. the list isn't final.

@mobbinfms has a supporter for mobb & tribe. he didn't mentioned pete rock & cl smooth tho.

Singles. Got it, I thought this was simply albums of all time. In that case, I'd motion for Stankonia or the Score.

The Ms. Jackson, B.O.B. and So Fresh, So Clean joints were super hot all the way up here. The Score had Killing Me Softly, Oh-la-la-la and Ready or Not to boot. Those albums kinda personify what you're talking about for me.

yea ms Jackson & so fresh were super hot. got them in the top 100. but the other singles held stankonia's rank back.
B.O.B. was kinda gay. it didn't really hurt them but it didn't help. then they had the stretch run of related singles that were awful: Trans-DF Express, The Whole World and iirc that Scooby-doo record was apart of it too.

yea the score cracked the top 50. I couldn't put them higher than they were cuz it was fueled by r&b.
Oh-la-la-la & Ready Or Not were big complimentary hits but they were complimentary to "killing me softly", which was a str8 r&b record. those songs wouldn't have been as big without riding "killing me softly's wave. so they were a tough rank.

yall got me wondering if tribe is too low tho.
