if you have better substitute songs let me know
btw I'm kicking off the playlist with Big L's MVP track
the rules are that the song cannot have a guest featured VERSE and it should primarily be about the MC's skills and kinda brag track but there are exceptions of course....the more self-appreciating the song the better
For 1986, I would swap "It's Tricky" with the "Raising Hell" title track. It's a great representation of Run-D.M.C. in their prime.![]()
Maybe we should post our picks? Spark some debate?Alright y'all I got 4 sets of results so far

Maybe we should post our picks? Spark some debate?

2.0: 1988, 1992, 1994, 1995, 2000
2.5: 1996
I having a hell of a time deciding whether 1993 should be a 1.8 or 2.0![]()
I think I had it as a 1.8
The main problem with that year is I like 36 Chambers, Doggystyle and Midnight Marauders way more than any other album from 1993
While in years like 1988 or 1994 the competition was more intense
