Where does 2005 rank in the best year of rap album releases?

[ball15life]

The Common "Be" thread had me thinking.....2005 was a GREAT year for rap. Arguably 5-7 classics in one year. Is it one of the best years for rap?

Was an amazing here and definitely a GOAT year. Every coast was shining and there was something for everybody, whether mainstream or underground. Probably the peak of club/party music as well before it just descended into one hit wonder dance tunes.

Damn, didn't even realize all those came out in 05.... crazy. At least 7-9 of those are arguably classics in my eyes. Great year for real

 

[NoHalfWay]

2005 was a great year and when you throw in the mixtapes, it’s not even a debate

 

[MJ Truth]

There’s maybe two classics here.

I wouldn't rank it that high overall, but it was one of the best of the 2000's before it went completely off the rails in 06

B Coming is my favorite....also had Sean Price - Monkey Barz

05 was the last solid year of the 2000’s. 06-09 was fukking TRASH

Every other year can fight amongst themselves. 05 was good, but I can pull almost the same amount of albums any given year up to 2011. 2015 and 2018 were the last decent years.
