[mundL]

Life is Good and Distant Relatives over Illmatic and IWW

now I don't think those albums are better per se but I was there when they dropped and got more of a personal connection to them and therefore play those albums alot more

shyt I used to cry alot to LIG cos it felt so good to hear Nas like this

its also his best album cover and one of the genres best imo

 

[Groundworks]

Jay- The blue print over reasonable doubt.
Ja Rule - Pain is love is his best album, its a fukking classic in my opinion.
Dre - 2001 over the chronic.

 

[The Pledge]

Jay Z’s American Gangster
Drake’s Scorpion
Nipsey Hussle’s CRENSHAW
Future’s Dirty Sprite
Lil Wayne’s The Dedication 6
Megan Thee Stallion’s Tina Snow
Rick Ross’ Hood Billionaire

I consider these their best bodies of work.
