Anyone agree with my list?

[theFRANCHISE]

It's hard to do an "All-Time" list because these things are wholly subjective and depend on criteria that differs from person-to-person. So rather than make a definitive list, here are just my personal favorites:

Top 10 Rappers:
1) Nas
2) Jay-Z
3) Royce Da 5'9"
4) DMX
5) 2Pac
6) Biggie
7) Joe Budden
8) Ryan Leslie (dude's pretty good for an R&B rapper/singer)
9) Naledge (of Kidz in the Hall)
10) Ludacris

They're just guys that I either enjoy listening to them straight-up rhyme, or guys whose tracks I immediately buy/download whenever I see new material.

As for albums:

Top 10 Albums:
1) Jay-Z - "Reasonable Doubt"
2) DMX - "It's Dark and Hell is Hot"
3) Nas - "Hip-Hop is Dead"
4) Royce Da 5'9" - "The Bar Exam 2"
5) Chamillionaire - "Mixtape Messiah 2"
6) Kanye West - "The College Dropout"
7) Slim Thug - "Already Platinum"
8) Kidz in the Hall - "The In Crowd"
9) Jay-Z - "The Blueprint"
10) Ludacris - "The Red Light District"

These are albums that I listened to on repeat, with songs that I know virtually all the words to, and beats that just got stuck in my head. They're ones that I can mostly listen to from beginning to end with no skips.

It is very hard to make this list. We made one on here months ago, and i'll bet mines has changed a bit since then.

1. Nas
2. Andre 3000
3. Jay-z
4. Tupac
5. Biggie
6. T.I.
7. Eminem (falling off my list)
8. Kanye West (short on talent, big on subject matter)
9. Mac (most underated rapper ever)
10. DMX
11. Drake(cant put him in top 10 yet)

1. Jay-z -The Blueprint
2. Nas- Stillmatic....(also loved untitled)
3. Outkast- Atliens
4. Mac- Shell Shocked
5. Kanye West- College Dropout
6. Tupac- The Don Killuminati 7 day theory
7. T.I- Urban Legend
8. DMX- Its dark and hell is hot
9. DPG- Dogg food
10. Mystikal- Mind of Mystikal
11. Twista- Adrenaline Rush(the original not adrenaline rush 2000)...we referred to it as the blue album

Most of these albums are ten years old, but all are classics in my book. If you get a chance give them a listen if you havent heard something.
