ya theres definitely some surprises but i think that just shows the uniqueness of the forum. im gonna nominate a few more i think i missed so this could still change but overall the list is pretty dope but a lot of my faves also missed it

This is actually a better list than I expected to see.

While there's some albums that I feel should have made it instead of others, I'd say that Black Trash is the only album that doesn't objectively belong.

Black Trash is REALLY dope, and honestly there's 10 albums above that one I would question first. But no real hate here. Decent list.

It's dope, but not "Top 50 East Coast albums of all time" dope IMO. That said, the list is pretty good overall.

its a pretty cool list, there are a lot of good albums that just missed the cut id like to see in but whatever

Yeah I feel the same way. There's some albums that missed the cut that would have made my Top 50. But objectively I can see why most of the albums made it.

no female rappers made and they never will

Liquid Swords....I agree 100%.

Not in this forum, but in most others they would.

What female emcee albums you got in your top 50 of the east coast KJ?

Liquid Swords absolutely crushed every album

For good reason.

I absolutely crushed your mother.

Capital Punishment should have made it. Pun gets no respect.

Cosign, this forum is biased against Non-Black rappers though who are not White.

Indeed....Jin "Rest Is History" is a 6 star album but the forum hates Asians (I'm mostly looking at you )

Hey Tran if you link me up with that Jin I promise I'll listen to it and rate it.

lol I don't own the album

Lyte As A Rock and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill for certain. All Hail The Queen possibly.

Captial Punishment is a classic album without a doubt, but the East has hundreds of classics. If Pun were from any other region I would have voted in his favor.
