Very tough, as usual.

I picked Word...Life, mostly because I presumed it would be the most underrated.

It Was Written and Hard To Earn will get enough votes as it is.

When people think of Providence, Rhode Island they typically think of organized crime

It's disturbing, but I kind of knew Kanye would be up there in votes.

Not to take anything away from his debut, but c'mon guys did you see the other 9 selections?

O.C. - Word...Life

surprisingly easy choice...but imo that album should be up there with Illmatic.

"Follow the Leader" was a close second though. My favorite Rakim album ever.

Hell on Earth

Havoc is extremely underrated (also produced some of the best shit on IWW)

It's like you give this test and there's always gonna be a few who have to ultimately fail.

O.C., it's a personal favorite. There are arguably better LPs in this poll, though.

One album out of 10 that isn't from the East Coast?

This is my one complaint with the philaflava message boards.

Where's Black Mafia Life on that list ?

I'm sorry, next time I'll put up Boxcar Sessions for you.

Face it, when the east is in the house...
