Maybe...i'll have to do some research or wait until we get deeper into the 00's. I know I have some fav yrs from this decade I may take over a few in the 90's. 97-98 would be to easy.

I agree with what everyone else has been telling you. But, if you are genuinely curious, they have several songs on youtube that you could peep.

Edit: Personally, I'm a big fan. Have been since I heard their song Counterparts (with Dilated Peoples) on the 2001: A Rhyme Odyssey CD I bought. Made me check out their Balance album, and I've been hooked since. But, as you can see, I don't share the same taste as everyone else. I'd recommend peeping songs on youtube, and if you like, then maybe buy (or download) an album and go from there.

I just realized something after going through my collection. No one picked UGK's Dirty Money as one of 2001's best albums, including myself.

I know what that reason may be. I was just pointing it out, lol.

Yep, and that reason is that Pedro ain't here. He's the only one that would vote for that album.

Moka Only isn't on that album, and he's only on like 2 out of 7 releases. The rest sound like Jurassic 5/Dialated Peoples shit, you cheap assfucker.

And yet I know I bought more 2010 albums than you....

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA really? You think so?

let's not do this all talk bs, lets end this talk by showing pictures. I'll upload all the new 2010 albums that I bought this year and you do the same. I ain't KJ, all talk and bs.

And than after that, shut the fuck up about this cheap bs. I like getting deals, so fucking what.

Keep my name out your mouth!

I just counted, and you have 32 HIP HOP albums you bought released in 2010 (assuming you bought everything on your list). I think I have 25 on my list, with 6 or 7 pre-orders out. So you might have one more than me. If I really need to upload pics, I will find a way to do that.

Then upload a picture of you holding the BLH album, fool.

Not including the Gorillaz, Dutch and like 6 other non hip hop albums. My 9th/Murs and Kidz in the Hall are in my car. I have the Sage, but it's deep in my collection, that album sucks. I pre-ordered Bizzy, waiting for my Shad to come in the mail. I didn't include re-releases and reissues. If you want me to include those albums stated above, I'll show it. Now stop with the cheap talk man.

See, you only have 29. I don't keep my shit in cases so give me til tomorrow to collect them all and up a picture. But pleezbaleev I have more.

Victor Shade wrote:

why is your carpet so dirty? is that where you skin your cats?

Don't know how I missed one, but I suppose I'd drop Dilated Peoples to a "near miss" and replace it with 7L & Esoteric - The Soul Purpose.

You really can't count...

I bought almost 40 2010 hip hop albums man. I'm one short.

lol, there's 34 there

Oh shit that's 34. No my screen makes me scroll across because of the pic. MY BAD.

No pictures means all talk. KJ does that quite well.

you both need to shut up. I'll get out my cd's and embarass the both of you.

Hence why I never said I bought more than you...lol.

Can't say 2001 holds any album I truly feel is worthy of my personal classic tag. The first 2 albums are one's I would have considered 5 stars and still do in many ways, but they have not held constant replay value since I purchased them....

In order:

1. Aesop Rock "Labor Days" (5 stars)
2. Sixtoo "Songs I Hate (And Other People Moments)" (5stars)
3. Living Legends "Almost Famous"
4. The Coup "Party Music"
5. Eyedea & Abilities "First Born"

smh. The Realness is 5 stars to you.

They carry the same sound.

Nah, I've flip flopped on that one from time to time. It's worthy, but I actually have become more fond of The True Meaning over the years. That one, I would give 5 stars........damn, I forgot to include that one in my 2002 list too. lol
