Nice list, I'd probably remove Mobb Deep and Big L though and add Liquid Swords and Death Certificate.

-Edit- It's also nice to see that no one has put 2pac. Not that I don't like 2pac I just think none of his albums are THAT great.

 

[hiphophooray123]

well he said R&B and rap too he didnt just say hip hop

in that case, otays list looks nice though id replace O.C with jigga - RD and re-arrange the order a bit, put raekwon higher
