Doom will coast here, so I will lend my support to DMX.
Swizz, Dame Grease and PK laid out some exciting, dynamic and gritty production. DMX was fresh as fuck in a sea of glossy wanna-be millionaire faggots. Minimal guest spots, but Sheek, Mase and LOX killed it and the Ruff Ryders introduction cut was well done.
Get At Me Dog is still the shit.

I like Doomsday, but it's ridiculously overjocked on the net. It's Dark & Hell Is Hot is very underappreciated I think. As Blastmaster said, it was the grimiest thing moving in an era of shiny suit glossiness. DMX's buzz was insane when that album dropped. "Ruff Ryder's Anthem" is still one of my favorite videos of all-time. Haha. So I vote DMX. Doom should take this with ease though once the majority of this board votes.

The best part of it all is: I'm sure 98% of the people that vote for Operation Doomsday not only didn't hear the album for many years after it was first released, they didn't even have any idea who MF Doom was for those many years either.
There's no way DMX should lose this poll.
IDAHIH (sweet acronym) is a front to back street classic while OD is just one of the 'better' underground hip-hop albums but is nowhere near classic status.

It was kinda dope when Tim Dog came out in the early 90s barking like a dog on records. 5 or 6 years later when a cracked out hybrid of Fredro Starr and 2pac did it - not quite so dope.
DMX almost managed to ruin two of the best posse-cut singles of '98 with his silly schtick - "4, 3, 2, 1" and "Money, Power And Respect" and Ja Rule was always better anyway.
"Operation Doomsday" forever! He samples Scooby Doo and Sade and Steely Dan and S.O.S Band but it was creepy and mysterious and was he drunk lol.

Aren't you from uptown? bx? or some similar locale? Maybe you're making a comment about his predominant audience (obviously to sell that many records we know his main audience was outside the hood). But you can't act like D doesn't STILL have a lot of respect Uptown/BX/Yonkers/NYC. Plenty of New Yorkers would call this album classic. His later work? mmm... Not so much.I Drive A Lexus wrote:Sade and Steely Dan samples are way realer and more hip hop than an ONYXed up version of 2pac for trailer dwelling whiggers from the mid-west and Germany.
That said, it's perfectly reasonable for people to pick Doom. It's kind of like picking what you like more handguns or cartoons. Both great things, but nothing alike.
