We're discussing great ALBUMS, not overrated mixtapes..

[Req]

ALREADY SORTED

http://www.steadybloggin.com/best-albums-of-the-2000s/

[rooski]

not doing a long ass list
pledge 2 and hell hath no fury are the top 2 of the decade

[stems]

Dedication 2 may have jacked a few beats, but it was a cohesive album that was given a commercial release and wound up on many critics' Best Of lists.

Other albums may have been more artistic, but this was a game-changer and had more impact than 90 percent of the discs in this thread.

And the final point is objective, but no album of the past decade had a better collection of verses.

What is a Dedicated 2?

And Sadat X's Experience n Education album was dope as hell.
P.Bros The Gas was album of 08, imo.
Born Like This and OB4CL for 09.

i was really high on about 18 general kinds of drugs and drinks, so knowing the chronology of these LPs is difficult/undo-able [without research]. I'm sure all of them are after 2000 and before 2010.

peace to the next wave of old school mcs and new school mcs and new styles and innovative trends that come in 2010 and 2011....then
