I don't disagree with what you said about Nastradamus (although I have it at 3 stars) but GOAT lacks replay value. Even when it was released I had it no better than 3.5. Nowadays it's probably a 3.

I noticed these two were missing and they are being added unless people object:

Z-Ro vs. The World
Erick Onasis

If filler is needed: Country Grammar

I'll admit to spinning the fuck out that album when I was 10-11.

LOL @ Nastradamus being 3 stars, now thats funny IMO....and G.O.A.T. has quite a bit of replay value IMO with production on from Roc Wilder and Havoc among a few and of course lyrics by Cool J..

that Nastradamus has absolutely no replay value IMO....it was not above 3 stars IMO.....Nas's worse effort by far....Cool J's worst effort is Todd Smith which I have at zero stars.....but G.O.A.T. is a legit effort IMO.....and in my top 10 for the year of 2000

Country Grammar is dope

It's only a half star higher than you have it, dude.

Project Windows>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Anything on GOAT, easily.

You're entitled to your opinion, but in my opinion GOAT isn't even a Top 20 album of 2000.

I agree that Country Grammar is dope.

Country Grammar and GOAT are both at least 4 stars IMO. When I first spun GOAT I swore up and down that shit was classic. But, I also liked Phenomenon quite a bit.

GOAT was LL's welcome back to my purchases after 2 that I wouldn't buy.

K. Rob as a Quik fan I was surprised you didn't have Non Fiction listed or mention The Konnectid Project (at least until you didn't have room for it like other comps), but I can understand leaving off Darkside's Heat Misers.

Nero, could you cosign that Rehab, so K. Rob will add it...still love that one.

I kinda hate Rehab. But sure, lol. I might vote for it over some other shit on that list. Like Let's Get Free, for example.

I thought you were the one looking for a physical of that Brooks Buford? My fault. How can you hate Southern Discomfort...classic material.

You know I did not even think about that Maus album. I never heard it and never wanted too. I never felt him as a rapper. He had dope rhymes but his delvery and voice was just not on point to me. I looked at the trklisting again and see it has some of my fav's as guest. Did Quik produce the whole album?

List updated. There are 4 slots left. I'm holding off on adding that Afru, Screwball, & some of those Romp rec'ed.

Romp I added two off your list.

Southern Discomfort is dec, and I was more just interested in Buford as a solo guy, I guess thinking he would be more hip hop instead of more rock, but I was really really fucking wrong lol.

He produced 10 of the 16. Has features from KK, D, AMG, Hi-C, Suga Free, Dresta, Playa Hamm (as well as Quik), sounds like an album you'ld enjoy to me.

Yeah I knew you wouldn't add that Little Bruce or Smoov-E, and I don't blame you, nobody around these parts has probably heard those, Nicky never wins a round either, so I hope it was the album from Warner Robins, and the one from the CPT.

Decent? That's all you're gonna give this masterpiece. The Cee-Lo & Big Gipp features on Storm Chaser is all the more of a reason some of the people not knowing should check for it and realize that for 11 years they done fucked up for not having it in their collection. Yep...I love this record that much hahahaha.

I added Dre Dog and Southern Dis. Dre Dog has some fans on this forum. Southern Dis was just for you.

Mddl Fngz Trouble was a decent album. But me and you are probably the only ones on here that heard it. I was already thinking about next year should I add Live From The Manjah. Only person on here I know heard that one is Slang.

If you had to pick one of those you would like added which would it be? I can cosign Trouble but I don't know if will you be around to be the other vote when it comes up...lol.

Skimming the list I can make at least 40 informed votes for this year.

I'd love to see Young Buck & D-Tay's Thuggin Til The End added, but I'm not sure anyone but me would care.

Also, Big Tymers' I Got That Work and BG's Checkmate are both dope to me.

i cosgin pretty much every album people listed. And i dont know how you leave the Screwball and Afu-Ra off though...


anyways, my top 20 or so:

Supreme Clientele
Violent By Design
The W
Deltron 3030
Masters of the Universe

I'll cosign that Big Tymers it was str8. I got the BG but it lost all replay value overtime. Don't care about that one. Maybe someone else will. BG did do good in the tourney last year.

Cosign Afu, Screwball, Doom/Grimm (if needed), an Big Tymers

lolz!

well, already got some co signs on the MF, however if I had to choose one personally it would be Bam, although I hold no expectations.

Thanks for pushing that SoDisCo through K. Rob. This is a little taste of what your missing on Non Fiction.

Just remembered Quik is back in town on the 19th, gotta scoop my tickets before it's too late, damn my procrastinating.
