Man that was hard as hell, shows how much things have changed.

Kev, Jada and Styles debuted in 1997 with the LOX.

Forgot about Dead Prez, I'll have to add them to my list. I wasn't counting Blackalicious because they dropped 2 EPs before 2000, but I guess we're only looking at full lengths?

Z-Ro dropped Look What You Did to Me in 1998.

Well just added Mega since he did really just drop his solo debut in 2000...thanks Terry. 50 maybe since he dropped officially then.

Ludacris released Incognegro in 1999

Yeah, technically it was put out in late 1999, but it wasn't distributed until 2000.

I 4got Talib Kweli doesn't he qualify?

BlackStar dropped in 98... so... maybe?

Yeah but when did Talib drop his 1st solo?

2000

Post 2000??

now that's tough because they're aren't that many...hmmm

Little Brother
Jean Grae
Ludacris
Kanye West (pre-808's And Heartbreaks)
One Be Lo (although he debuted in 1998 with Masters Of The Universe)
9th Wonder (as a producer)
T.I.
Nelly (for my pop fix..lol)
Blu And Exile

shit that's about it, I think..lol

Post 2000 sucks big fat disgusting monkey dick, that's for sure!

Powell, you left out The Game, who you voted top 100

Oh yeah The Game too, thanks Shon!

kevin your reasoning that group shit doesnt count is weak....so I guess Bun B makes it too like terry said huh?? andre 3000? big boi???? etc..

Yeah, blackalicious, mos, talib, etc. all those fools don't count.. the reasoning is just foolish

if a rapper is established in the game enough to drop an EP or group album back then they count... otherwise I'm nominating Large Professor because his first official album dropped in 2002...

see how that works?

Anyways, this list is hard. Some of my favorites, like Mob Figaz get knocked out by 1 year.

Here's some of the list:

Shad
Chamillionaire
TI
Ludacris
Joe Budden
Kanye West
Young Buck (his d-tay album dropped in 2000)
Gucci Mane
Lloyd Banks
Tony Yayo
Jim Jones
Juelz Santana
Crooked I
Mistah FAB
Krizz Kaliko
Prozak
Slim Thug
The Clipse
BOB
Royce - does he count?

not all of them.. but there's plenty post 2000

royce was on shit before 2000 and crooked i was on death row before 2000, luda had an album before 2000, krizz was rapping before 2000, clipse been signed since 97 and released an album in 99, cham himself states he's been dropping mixtapes since 98, and jim jones was cams hypeman before 2000, i think the rest of your list is good though, lol
