You notice how Tone Loc, Hammer and Vanilla Ice didn't get any love for '89-91? But Ice Cube and Q-Tip he sold a fraction of what they did are the standard?

At one point it went from being "the best emcee" to the laziness of just giving it to whoever was "most popular"...

2014 Nicki isn't the best or even the most popular. She's just the most famous to release a retail album :scusthov:...

Are cats joking about Jeezy?

Dude changed hiphop had every rapper change their style in someway and TM101 was perhaps not the best album (Kanye dropped LR and Common dropped Be). But he had the biggest influence on hiphop in perhaps the whole decade after Wayne and Kanye with that album (and the mixtape game, to make mixtapes sound like albums), gave Dj Drama a real platform and on.
