[nieman]

Wait NO Bacdafucup!! Were they even alive when it came out? We Come Strapped? I'm pretty sure they got Black Moon and Black Sheep confused.

Every time you think Complex can't eff up another list, they somehow manage to completely eff it up

 

[Woodrow]

these nikkas put a group home album ahead of it was written. get this list the fukk off my monitor.

 

[Taadow]

They don't even have Bow Down on this chit...

 

[hiphip]

illmatic is overrated

 

[dizzy4111]

People get waaaaaaaaaaaaay too caught up in the order of these lists.

These albums are all being recognized as the absolute best of the genre. Who gives a shyt if something is in the 20's instead of the top 10?

 

[Ziggiy]

I can more or less fukk with the Top Ten, surprised they didn't try to throw Cacinem's Slim Shady LP in the top ten or some such fukkery.


Livin Proof being at ALL on that list is . And although Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt does belong on the list I don't quite think I'd argue for it in the top ten over Doggystyle but it's not something to lose sleep over

IMO, Wolf in Sheep Clothing is top 25. I don't see the issue. That's one of the single best MCing performances ever on an album
