Top 5 albums released in 1998

1. OutKast - Aquemini
2. Aceyalone - A Book of Human Language
3. Black Star - Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are...
4. Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
5. Goodie Mob - Still Standing

Now this was a pretty decent year. Better than 97 to me.

DMX- Its Dark and Hell Is Hot
DJ Quik- Rhythm-Al-Ism
Goodie Mob- Still Standing
Kast- Aquemini
8 Ball- Lost

97 was the takeover of No limit but 98 saw Def jam trying to make a run for the market.

1. It's Dark and Hell is Hot
2. Capital Punishment
3. Moment of Truth
4. Heavy Mental
5. Black Star

"Moment of Truth"
"Aquemini"

In no particular order:

Outkast- Aquemini
Gangstarr- Moment Of Truth
Lauryn Hill- The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill

I think your list would be good if you didn't list Capital Punishment, Black Star or Moment of Truth.

I don't really have a specific taste. I like what I like.

And after hearing him Goodie Mob's Soul Food, I was hoping for a Witchdoctor solo. And after the wait, I wasn't disappointed at all. It was better than I expected.
