40
Pretty much anything he put out
Pac's got the run from MATW through Makaveli. I never heard Thug Life though, so I'll reserve judgment on that. RU Still Down was not great.

Stankonia is real questionable. I'll give you Big Boi though.

Nothing from Cash Money pre C1 was great. C2 and C3 were good to great.

I'm a big 40 fan since I'm from the Bay, but I stopped paying attention to him after 96. Those last two albums with Too Short were awful bc of the production and Short. 40 still got it. His new single with Danny Brown and Q is fantastic. You think I'd like any of the Block Brochure albums based off what I said about the albums with Short?

I see three classics. No other great to excellent albums.

first three are classics, two great works (BR&L which gets tons of shyt for no reason, and Renaissance), the latter of which was arguably the best hiphop album of 2008

I personally think Erick Sermons second album is pretty damn great to listen to. I don't expect everyone to agree but add the first 4 EPMD records and I'm making a case for him.

certainly if cats are in here screaming Wayne & BG this isn't crazy.

Don't really like late registration, graduation or 808s, but you could probably add Kanye. Maybe add redman if you thought Blackout was good, but his first four albums are strong as fukk.
