I agree with the ranking. I'm not a big fan of 20/20, but it has enough hits between the two to certainly beat MOTW and there's no question LoveSounds is his best album, even with the release of EITIW. JT may consider EITIW his best album but in this ranking, I'd place it above or below Justified. It's debatable.
HOW TF THIS LIST DON’T HAVE R. KELLY OR BRIAN MCKNIGHT? GTFO YA FEELINGS AND GIVE THE GREATS THEIR PROPER CREDIT AND CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC. SHITTY AZZ LIST.
The reason First Family is their best to me is because it’s more dynamic than the others and has better features. Tracks like Blood, Sweat & Tears and What The Future Holds add a dope contrast to their style and work well. Features from Jay, OC, Heather B, Freddie Foxx, and Treach are ALL great and Salute Pt 2 with Gang Starr is their best song to me. NY Salute is also their best closer.

I would had put I wanna know by Joe in 2000 and I know he canceled his legacy but back at one by Brain McKnight. I also would have added Cry Me A River by JT in 2002. Timbaland was on fire around that area. I also want to add Mariah Carey we belong together for 2004.
