some of these writers are actually like painfully white
Look at 100-99 do you read English ?
Doggystyle being 100 instead of 99 doesn’t really raise my blood pressure tbh
44. To Pimp a Butterfly
43. Die Lit
yep they knew what they were doing
The moment I saw this I knew for sure this list is absolute bait n shouldn’t be taken seriously
“We rank the most essential and influential albums of this quintessentially American art form.”
s*** is not essential enough to be number one. if you think it should be on the list cool. number 1 is f***in insane
are you like 16 years old
I should publish my List on who I voted for
U able to post the 300 shortlist too? 👀

doesn’t matter if i’m 45 infamous not the #1 rap album of all time
I'll never get the DS2 glaze. I just don't see how it can dethrone Monster as his best work.
It's just his defining album, kind of how The Blueprint is to Jay, it's got a bunch of his most recognized songs. I personally hold 56 Nights as his best project, but having DS2 as number 1 is totally understandable.

You keep changing your argument
It’s not even my number one and I haven’t been arguing it
First you say it’s not an album you would use to introduce someone to rap with despite no one talking about it
Now it’s that it’s not the best ever, which wasn’t even what I was saying in the first place
You seem angry and confused, hope you find peace
I voted on this list and wrote entry #90

Soon as I seen the cover before even reading the blurb I said out loud "Did Eric write this?"
So a few months ago they hit me up to vote on this. There was a bunch of albums to choose From in a pool and we rank them. You could also throw albums in the pool that wasnt already listed that you think should be considered so others can vote for that too
then there was a second round of voting where they narrowed it down from like 500 albums to around a 300 albums and then we ranked from that pool and they averaged it out from there
they need to abolish this

for something to be the #1 MOST ESSENTIAL and influential rap album of all time (THEIR CRITERIA) wouldn’t that mean it’s the #1 album you would recommend to someone as an entry point? my og point was take that s*** out of the top 5 and throw DS2 in.
the entire top 5 being before 2000 is truly insane
i still think apple had the best list
you really cant tell theyre owned by conde nast. they managed to keep their journalistic integrity
