Again, DONT VOTE IN THIS THREAD

These lists werent just randomly picked, i spent way too much time thinking about them and got opinions of as many other people that were in the chat at the different times so no complaining about your favorite album not being there. I tried to balance everything out by taking into account a lot of different styles so everything got covered. Originality also played a role for some albums getting in and we tried to limit the amount from the same artist.

Looks good..can't wait to vote!

Yeah man great job on the selections and mixing up the styles.

I think Dre has a good shot to win the west coast bracket. LOL!

Hey I helped! I think this is gonna be closer and maybe not as obvious as I thought it was gonna be.

I'm liking these match ups. Nice work.

the only on i dont like is (2) Illmatic - Nas vs. (15) Livin Proof - Group Home. i already know people are going to pick illmatic in a land slide just because its illmatic even though group homes album is on of the best produced in hip hop and i have even seen dudes on this forum say that

who cares cory, this is the consensus of the forum, not just you. whoever wins it doesnt change your opinion

And besides, Cory, no matter what group home was going against it was gonna lose first round anyway, no disrespect but there's a reason it's a 16 seed.

so why do you bitch and cry all the time when your little rappers dont make the top 100. group homes album is often called one of the best produced albums in hip hop, it would get more props but it had shitty rappers

Cory, you're always whining/hatin when it comes to Nas. Go ahead with that bullshit!

If Group Home were matched against 36 Chambers or Nation of Millions you wouldn't complain even though you know they'd lose those matchups too, so just be quiet.

Sounds good. I didn't notice this thread before, but am all for more voting threads. This is my favorite portion of the forum for sure. lol

I like the concept of this topic.

One thing I don't agree with though, is a number 13 seed for RUN-DMC's Raising Hell. I thought they should have gotten a much higher seed than that. It's a classic album and easily one of the best of all time, so it should have gotten more love than that.

Just my 2 cents.

Now that you mention it, I totally agree. However, no one person who creates a topic/system like this will meet everyone's expectations, so I suppose it's cool.

And to be honest, I'm still confused by the whole NCAA tournament style voting. I think I get it.....I just don't watch sports much. I know I know...lol

LOL Pounds, you summed it up in a nutshell, you don't watch sports much!

The NCAA tournament is one of the coolest sporting events IMO, because it's the ULTIMATE playoff system. Gives 64 college basketball teams a shot at the championship.

Looking at it again, and seeing how we had a voting system like this for something before back on Amazon, I'm pretty sure I get it. lol

And honestly, all I watch regularly sports-wise, is the Minnesota Vikings. And they haven't been good since 1998. lol

They were good last year even though they lost in the first round of the playoffs. Adrian Peterson is a BEAST, and if they get Favre they're easily a Super Bowl contender.

Adrian Peterson is a beast! And yeah, we may have a chance...lol...but I've seen them with stellar lineups over the years and they have never won a super bowl...only been to 4...most before my time. It's almost a little sad.

Damn Falcons!

There's no way that the Falcons would beat the Vikings with Brett Favre at QB after he got that shoulder surgery.

Yeah they probably would have. As good as the Broncos were, I don't think they would have stopped the 1-2 punch of Randy Moss and Cris Carter.

Damn, you guys know the Vikings better than I do...lol...they were undefeated that season (or only 1 loss), until the kicker (too drunk and high too remember the name) screwed the pooch. lol

Good times though. I found out I was getting my paycheck this week, so I'm celebrating. lol

no actually i think group homes production could take those, its one of the best. people dick ride nas so they would never admit they think another album has better beats. so fuck you you fucking douche bag

alright heres the official bracket....voting starts tomorrow (friday)

dont pay attention to the dates on that picture

I agree with Cory that Group Home shouldn't be pinned against Illmatic in the first round. That's two top 10 albums (production wise) going at it, IMO.

Nice job Slang!

Illmatic DOES have great production, you fucking canadian cocksucker!!! You're just hatin

Group Home's album did have good production, but there's at least 3 or 4 Gangstarr albums that had better production IMO. One of those should have been put in the tourney instead.

I think it was the mis-management of Dennis Green that cost the Vikings that game against the Falcons.
