* The Naked Truth -- Lil' Kim
* Trill OG -- Bun B
They definitely didn't deserve to be their. Kim probably sucked her way on the list but ion know how they put Bun up there. I think 50 should have got 5 mics in The Source but that's when they were beefing with Eminem I guess. And I think Thug Motivation 101 has an argument to being a 5 mic album or an having an XXL rating.

Killin fake hip hop
many of these selections go to show you exactly how reliable these ratings are... MATW wasnt initially a 5 mic, but Lil Kim was?

I see albums on here that I don't remember getting 5 mics and XXL wasn't even being published when some of those albums come out...

AEOM was not trash, yall nikkas are - i hate to use it - HATING right there. I can see saying it wasn't 5 Mics ( I even feel that way), but it's 4-4.5 easily. LAD wasn't classic either, so stop.
