Top 10 Important Albums in Hip Hop History according to WatchMojo.com
- Thread starter Not The Ruler O9
- Start date
I see the Coli's resident historical revisionists are at it again.
On what planet is the Marshall Mathers LP not in the top 10 important hip hop albums of all time? You may not like him, you may not like his recent shyt, but that albums impact at that time was seismic.
Read the thread title again, breh.

It's not a bad list per se, but I think it is definitely what I would consider a "safe" one...not a lot of controversial picks, and it almost seemed like albums were picked to make sure their boxes were checked i.e. the quintessential east coast albums, the biggest west coast ones, a few nods to albums from the 80s and then albums from some of the biggest rap stars at their respective peaks (MATW and MMLP).

Pretty much every album on that list is essential to listen to. Very safe top 10
yeah, you HAVE to have Tribe, their style was so different and is the reason a lot these nikkas is accepted

So The Marshall Mathers LP was ranked above Paid in Full in terms of importance to the genre...

MMLP is still an excellent album IMO. IDK about top 10 but it makes my top 20

Top 10 is too short, they left out alot of classics from Cube, Snoop, Mobb Deep & Jay. there's more than that. list is cool though.
