That is a really good album, and it's your list, so I can't fault you for putting it up there. So much good stuff from the early 90s that it's hard to narrow it down to 5 per year.

That's the challenge right there, narrowing it down to 5.

Wow, lol.

Narrowing it down to 5 is indeed a challenge. On any given day, Stunts Blunts & Hip Hop or Daily Operation could make my Top 5, but I'm comfortable with the albums I chose.

No way is AMG even close to being the best of 92.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't feel that it's a classic album.

Yes Highsmith. I love both albums but the Pharcyde debut is one of my all time favs. It's a really fun and unique album. Daily Operation is great also, but I prefer Bizarre Ride. That just goes to show you how deep 1992 was as far as classic albums go. Probably one of my 4-5 favorite years in hip-hop history.

1992 was a deep year for classics, and we haven't got to 93, 94, 95, or 96 yet.

fave album from this year = Show and AG - Runaway Slave

heres the rest:

G Rap - live and let die
PR & CL - mecca and the soul brother
Redman - Whut thee album
Dr Dre - The Chronic

After peeping all involved lists, I believe The Chronic should be rightfully dubbed album of the year. It's best competition from my observance is Mecca and the Soul Brother then Live and Let Die or Daily Operation.
