[MidnightMercenary]

Lettuce talk about how Black Thought is the only rapper on the poll without a vote

Illadelph Halflife is a really dope album

What They Do is too GOAT

His first verse on Respond/React

 

[BaRRyG]

if you vote for him I'll add him on there

what did Bone release in 96?

Tha Crossroads

Bone's albums were in 95 and 97.

U right

 

[BmoreGorilla]

you know on Pick it Up when he says

"shut the fukk up you still a dikk rider"...is that responding to Biggie's negative comments on Redman for changing his style up?

Yes. And its crazy that Big has two lines about listening to Redman

Tha Crossroads

yeah we need a full project in 96 to be considered bud...sorry

Black Thought was the first MC I can remember who changed up the pronunciation of words to make them rhyme on a consistent basis. He did that all over Illadelph

I had to vote for Pac...monstrous year....did more in those 9 months then rappers have done in their whole career brehs

Even though it was released few days before 1996...had the club jamming to 1 of the biggest songs of the year with California love

Dropped a double album, by any means it wasn't a classic due to some filler but it was still a great effort

Dropped arguably the greatest diss record of all time

Going to a lyrical war with the East Coast pretty much on his lonesome & they was shook to say his name on wax...

nikkas talk a lot of shyt but that's after I'm gone
Cause they fear me in physical form let it be known

Then he went on to drop a classic album that he recorded in 7 days brehs
