It is actually a pretty good list up to and including the year 2000.

From 2003 onward, I am not very knowledgeable ...

I love it too. I've always been an indie guy, but to even consider Dr Octagon being better than Reasonable Doubt, Iron Man, The Score, IWW or ATLiens is standup comedy material.

They do it just to f*ck with people.

I was a serious backpack dude in '96 and ran with a crew of underground heads, and none of us would agree with anything on this list.

Too backpacky. Surprised they didn’t go with Liquid Swords for ‘95 if they were going to throw those two curveballs that they did in ‘96 (AEOM, Hell on Earth, RD, ATLiens) and ‘01 (The Blueprint).

I remember that album and OB4CL being practically inseparable on lists like these 10–15 years ago, but now it seems like it’s lost its allure. It even feels like Supreme Clientele has usurped its cultural relevance, which wasn’t the case some years ago.

The Chronic will never ever be truly considered a 1992 album. :camby:


Too many albums that actually impacted the year for The Chronic to just come at the end and be #1. Nope. Not trying to hear it. The Chronic was major in 93 not 92.

Das Efx - Dead Serious is the real answer for 1992 not The Chronic. Das efx had Ice Cube even wanting a piece of that moment for his Predator album.



Also, having Dr Octagon as album of the year for 1996 automatically makes that list shyt tissue.
cube would have got spice 1 if he came out in 90-91.. he can iggity and stutter wha wha wit the best of em... don't let em get to his Jamaican style
