Yo Cory you got Death Certificate twice....

I'm really digging everyone's list man, you guys know your shit!

Yeah the 90's is probably the best decade in hip-hop history where the music really evolved and became something special...and 1988 IMO is the best year ever in hip-hop history...there has NEVER been another year IMO that has that much quality although 1994, 1990 and 1993 are right behind it!
