Wouldn't crack my top 5, but it's pretty good.

Nappy Roots & Non-Phixion run this year. J-Live, Kweli, Scarface & Blackalicious close behind.

OneBeLo: Project F.E.T.U.S.
Sunz of Man: Saviorz Day
Demigodz: The Godz Must Be Crazy (adjustment to Top 5)

Demigodz is a must

looks like a decent year. Hope to have time to participate this time.

Damn this is all the suggestions. This site is really at its lowest moments.

I added all your rec's and still have slots.

Count Bass D: Dwight Spitz
Madlib: Blunted In The Bomb Shelter

Dwight Spits is dope

Cee Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections
Undaground Legend
It Ain't Safe No More
Birdman

Last Temptation
Man vs Machine

Good suggestions Myers. Glad you remembered the Z-Ro, Camron, & Xzibit especially. I only put one Ro album for now. I still have 3 slots left. Waiting some a few more more known albums to avoid default murder. We have plenty of filler now.

It Ain't Safe No More
Man vs Machine

Should not make the list. These are considered these artists' worst efforts. I don't personally know about Man vs Machine but I can vouch for It Ain't Safe No More being garbage. Unless we're not talking about Busta Rhymes.

Lost Tapes wins this year for me

I co-sign Personal Journals, although it won't make it out the first round.

Nas could very well become the first artist to win 3 of these tournaments!

That isn't going to play out on this one.

From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots should be here... it will get maybe 2 votes total but that shit bangs, I like it more than the albums listed so far.

No problem. I had one slot left.

We'll see. I think it has a legit chance of happening though. I don't see any landslide runaway favorite for 2002.

I think Scarface has got this year, but i wouldn't be shocked to see Nas win again.

Scarface will win.

Scarface was what I was thinking, too.

Although I never agreed that The Fix was a classic, it looks like it might win '02. I'm pullin for Devin though, I enjoy it way more than anything else on the list.
