twenty people picked outkast, so it wasn't a blow out.

i'd like to think this poll will reflect a better balance.

Never heard the Roots album
so it's gotta be "the main ingrediant".

Lot of good albums to choose from in that list. Would be an interesting poll for sure.

probably Black Thought's best lyrical performance
beats bored me for the most part
but there were some classic tracks on here

Main Ingredient is still better to me
indeed

I voted illadelph the other day, but after giving them both another listen through, I like The Main Ingredient more currently.

The Main Ingredient. Illadelph Halflife was just too dark and bleak in some spots for me. Nevertheless both great albums.

i cant speak on you cause i dont know when you last listened to it...but i do know that main ingrediant more than any other album is one that heads pull out years after it came out and only then realize how incredibly nice it is

i personally always liked it much better than mecca but for most when they first heard it and it wasnt mecca they abandoned it...if this is you i suggest spending the next two weeks solely on this album

Main Ingredient by far for me. Although, Pete Rock is one of my favourites, and I feel this was his best work.

Not to take away from Illadelph, dope album, although I didn't expect it would be doing so well.
