quality wise this tbh

DMX OR 50 maybe JA RULE

X was definitely up there and could be considered a part of that holy trinity.

Nav goes #1 too, he ain’t Top 3 lol

And I love Nav

Illmatic gives Nas career a certain weight that he'll always carry.

His debut is one of the few perfect albums.

Jay dont even have one of those.

Ye, Wayne, TI (2006 - 2010)
Drake, Kendrick, Cole (2011 - ...)

I’m attempting to make a list for the early 2000s and I think you have to put Eminem lol its no way around it

This why I was asking for the time frame cuz if it’s the 99 - Early 00s it’s defo DMX

I wont lie like he wasnt one of the biggest things ever during that time frame

agreed

I wasn’t the biggest fan but yeah it’s undeniable.

big pac big l but jay z is not top 5 top 10 for sure

Lil Baby, Da Baby and Throat Baby

Both eminem and dmx deserve to be there tbh

DMX

Over Nas?

Excluding Big and Pac

DMX or Eminem

Em's music aged like wypipo

Nas had dominant 2 eras.

One from Illmatic to I Am

And then again from Stillmatic to God's Son

Thug gunna and keed

I wouldn't call them no skip albums but the first two (?), i think they called slim shady and mmlp are pretty good
