Yep, Paid In Full is my 5th favorite album of all time hence it wins.

Paid In Full.

Paid In Full

Thinking of a master plan...

Rakim wins

but this one is closer than some are admitting...but the legend of Rakim began with this album and that's going to be hard to beat...although when Criminal Minded comes up against it in the next round then Kris is going to win that one IMO!

Question Powell......you say that, and I've also noticed that you rank Kris' albums higher than Rakim's for the most part yet you have Rakim as your GOAT. Why is that? Just wondering.

Probably the same reason you have like 3 Nas albums in your top 25, but Biggie is your GOAT.

I've got 2 Nas albums in my Top 25, and two Biggie albums in my Top 25. Illmatic is my GOAT album but Biggie's my GOAT MC.

Nas is your goat KJ I do not care what you say.

Lyrically, voice and flow wise I have Rakim ahead of Kris just barely...Rakim is my GOAT and Kris is number 2, so there isn't that much of a difference, but I do love Kris's catalog better than Rakim's....

Paid in full
