By the way, I tried to avoid instrumental albums.

I’ll do a separate list lately.
@B.k.S: I did that mainly because I prefer it over it. Sorry for the absurdness there.

@Crystal: It’s my top RHH albums. Reason why it’s in RHH.

I can do one of these for rock too.
@Tyrone:

R.E.B.I.R.T.H in my opinion is better than S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M because it has my favorite One Be Lo tracks on it.

"Born & Raised"
"War"
"Don’t Sleep"
"Gray" (Which is my favorite One Be Lo song)
"Hip Hop Heaven"

Albums that surprised me: #2, #15, #20, #28, #31, #36, #44, #65, #78, #80.

A Piece of Strange is also my favorite album, and Game Theory is also my favorite Roots album.

Unless I missed it, I’m f*cking shocked that you didn’t put any Qwel or Sage Francis albums on here.

Shame, shame, shame for not having Die, Rugged Man, Die on here. Lol nah.

My top five would consist of:

1. A Piece of Strange – Cunninlynguists

2. I Phantom – Mr. Lif

3. ATLiens – Outkast

4. Project: F.E.T.U.S. – One Be Lo

5. The Ugly Truth – Prolyphic & Reanimator

You get a ten for originality and dopeness.
