Found this: my top 10(11) albums from 2003..

[labelplant]

A list I made probably at the end of 2003 or maybe start of '04:
1. Diplomats - Diplomatic Immunity
2. Jay-Z - Black Album
3. King Geedorah - Take Me to Your Leader
4. Juelz Santana - From Me to U
5. State Property - Chain Gang Vol. 2
6. 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin'
7. Freeway - Philadelphia Freeway
8. Jaylib - Champion Sound
9. Mobb Deep - Free Agents
10. T.I. - Trap Muzik/Canibus - Rip the Jacker

Also had this written down, I'm guessing I didn't include them on the list because they weren't music originally made to be released that year or all original music:
9th Wonder - God's Stepson
InI - Center of Attention
Children of the Corn - Collector's Edition


Anyway, you can see the ROC was running shyt with Dips, Jay and State Prop. And G-Unit not far behind, especially if you consider Mobb Deep. They weren't signed to G-Unit yet. They were in between labels but Free Agents was DOOOOPE. This was like right before the South really took over. Shout out to T.I. for releasing one of the first albums that was highly respected all across the map.

Ya Sin-A-Matic was dope as fukk. Live from Compton was already out in '03? I remember Game was just startin to pop down here and I had a few songs by him on random mixtapes. I was really feeling the kid but I did't have the full tape.

i have it as 03 in itunes, i'm not sure tho, it could have been 2004 but Dre was on him early & i remember being hyped because Dre was working with a new cat from Compton & i was feelin the Live From Compton mixtape except some joint where he sounded exactly like Shyne.
