6:34 Madvillany is right in the center and separates the more complex album covers to the more minimalistic ones… neat

1996 is one of the best years in hip-hop. The amount of classic albums we got that year is insane All eyez on me - 2Pac Reasonable doubt - Jay Z ATLiens - Outkast The score - Fugees Ironman - Ghostface Muddy waters - Redman It was written - Nas The 7 day theory - Makaveli (2Pac)

2018 was an amazing year for rap albums in my opinion, Daytona - 10, Kids See Ghosts - 9, TA1300 - 9, Some Rap Songs - 9, Swimming - 8.5, Astroworld - 8.5, DiCaprio 2 - 8.5

the Eminem show should definately be in the HM or even a contender for best album of 2002. nothing against el-p but seriously dude...TES common lol

I like your taste. Keep it coming

Massive W for Big Krit and Denzel Curry, two of my favs

Thia mans music taste🔥🔥🔥VALID

The 1993 choice is legendary and so hard to contest but I would offer Return of the Boom Bap as a very strong honorable mention ...Outta Here , Black Cop , Sound of da Police and I can't wake up on the same album make it a must listen along w the other Dj Premier produced bangers . Great list and video .

IGOR is such an amazing album 💜

Dope List Man! IMO - These have been the best pleasing to my ears. 94- Illmatic - Nas 95 - Me Against The World - 2Pac 96 - Blueprint - Jay Z 97- Life After Death - Biggie Smalls 98 - Capital Punishment - Big Pun 99 - Slim Shady Lp - Eminem 00 - Marshall Mathers - Eminem 01 - Stillmatic - Nas 02- Eminem Show - Eminem 03- Get Rich or Die Tryin - 50 Cent 04 - The College Drop Out - Kanye West 05 - Late Registration - Kanye West 06- Food and Liquor - Lupe Fiasco 07 - The Cool - Lupe Fiasco 08- Carter 3 - Lil Wayne 09- Relapse - Eminem 10- MBDTF - Kanye West 11- Undun - Roots 12- GKMC - Kendrick Lamar 13- MMLP2 - Eminem 14 - Forret Hills Drive - J Cole 15 - TPAB - Kendrick Lamar 16 - Atrocity Exhibition - Danny Brown 17 - Big Fish Theory - Vince Staples 18 - Drogas Wave - Lupe Fiasco (or Di Caprio 2 - JID) 19 - Zuu - Denzel Curry 20 - Kings Disease - Nas 21 - (TBC)

Really good choices, only differences i can comment on is that i got LR >>>>>> Be, SRS >> Veteran > TA13OO, and CMIYGL > SWNT. everything else i pretty much agree with, cool to see some 80s albums i don’t know as well.

Below the heavens is a godly album, hats off to you

The Infamous would be my pick for 1995, as it’s influence on east coast on hardcore hip-hop is nearly unrivalled. Furthermore, Shook Ones, Pt II is definitively one of the greatest hip-hop tracks. Respect to your honourable mentions too 👍

I just watched the last one but idk LR not being AOTY for 2005, but w for Yeezuz

Recomendations: - Entroducing by DJ Shadow (1996), same level than Donuts by Dilla - Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox (2001), I prefer it over Labor Days and I love that album, seriously recomendable - A Piece of Strange by Cunninlynguists (2005), third best HH album imo And.... *Death Grips*

wow so good!!!

How cool is it that you've got the low end theory in what 92 or 93 and then 2008 16 years later with Q tip. He's got that freaking silky smooth voice man every girl I knew loved his voice

Don’t agree on a lot of these. But they’re no doubt all fire

the 97 pick makes you cultured my friend.

the roots are so underrated

glad to see the 2 MF DOOM albums get a spot

Massive W for Fantastic Damage over The Eminem Show. Same with Funcrusher Plus you definitely got some good taste

I don’t think Weezer’s blue album is a rap album, but I respect your opinion!

I’d say you nailed 2018 in your first vid, but respect

The Eminem show didn’t make your honorable mentions 😮 That’s kinda tough but you got very very good picks

Interesting list

I feel like graduation should have definitely won 2007 it’s one of the best albums to ever be created

Personally id probably fit Daquiri Factory Cocaine Raps volume II by Andre Nickatina on there, that album is a straight up classic.

Actually for 1995 I think that one revolutionary rap album was The Infamous by Mobb Deep since that album is so killer!

The most beautiful songs in albums 2001 DR DRE top 5 1999 5-bang bang 4-big ego's 3-frog abaut dre 2-next to the episode 1-stil the marhal mheters lp eminem top 5 2000 5-kim 4-under the influence 3-the way Im 2-stan 1-the real slim shady get rich or die truiy' 50 cent top 5 2003 5-21 questions 4-wanksta 3-many man 2-P.I.M.P 1- in da clup

Anyone know where I can download 3 feet high and rising and the ecstatic?

I'd prollz replace 95' and throw The Infamous and 09' and throw MOTM

Ay smiling with no teeth🔥

Smiling With No Teeth is so damn good but so ridiculously underrated

Great video tho

Why not rap albums before 1987? There are some good ones like licensed to ill - beastie boys, radio - ll cool j, raising hell - run dmc

The game - the documentary

Paid in full dropped in my birth year 😎

2014 forest hills drive?

My list 1990: Fear of a Black Planet - Public Enemy 91/100 1991: Death Certificate - Ice Cube 90/100 1992: The Predator - Ice Cube 87/100 1993: It's on Dr Dre - Eazy-E 86/100 1994: Illmatic - Nas 100/100 1995: Me against the World - 2Pac 94/100 1996: Fugees - The Score 94/100 1997: The Notorious BIG - Life After Death 92/100 1998: Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star - Black Star 85/100 1999: Black on Both Sides - Mos Def 96/100 2000: The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem 96/100 2001: Stillmatic - Nas 94/100 2002: Lord Willin - Clipse 89/100 2003: The Black Album - Jay-Z 98/100 2004: Mm Food - MF DOOM 100/100 2005: Be - Common 95/100 2006: Hell Hath no Fury - Clipse 94/100 2007: Graduation - Kanye West 95/100 2008: The Renaissance - Q-Tip 93/100 2009: Born Like This - DOOM 98/100 2010: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West 96/100 2011: XXX - Danny Brown 94/100 2012: Good kid Maad City - Kendrick Lamar 93/100 2013: Yeezus - Kanye West 93/100 2014: Pinata - Freddie Gibbs and Madlib 98/100 2015: Rodeo - Travis Scott 94/100 2016: 4 Your Eyez Only - J.

IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD BACK was the best ALBUM in 1988 and the greatest album in the 80s.

50 cent 03-07 is untouchable but he’s not on ur crazy ass list gwaaad daaaam😂

Good picks, where is travis scott though? in the honerable mentions at least

Genesis owusu yesss, so underrated

W list

We both have so many of the same AOTYs lol

2021 is King's disease 2 , without a doubt

I agree with 2014, 2016, 2017 those are my top 3 albums ever created

no graduation????

What about astroworld in 2018??

no Mobb Deep here I feel assaulted

My man’s smoking crack after 1992 lol wtf where biggie, pac, DMX, 50 cent

I think the cold vein is the best album of 2001, if you havent heard it i would strongly reccomend it.

Yo MF DOOM got best album of the year two times in a row???

How tf did J Cole not even get an honourable mention for 2014

I agree with most of it, but 2001 Labor days? I love Aesop but Jay-Z takes the cake that year with The Blueprint, no question about it.

For 2005, common was ok to have that, but the Game's Documentary may be the best of that year.

i prefer care for me to taboo but i guess it is what it is, both are great records

we need to start gatekeeping our culture...because wtf is this

W for the genesis owusu

We all forgetting that MF DOOM and Czarface dropped a collab this year?

YESSIR 2017 MULTIALUMNI

Black on both sides over 2001 is interesting i like it

Needs more drain gang

I think in 2013 it should be MMLP2

1999 2012?

The Blueprint and Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ should have taken the 2001 and 2003 spots and All Eyez On Me should of have the 1996 one. Bad list.

Me personally would say the black album is the best from 2003

Only 3 changes I would’ve made. ‘96 should’ve went to all eyez on me. ‘98 to it’s dark and hell is hot and lastly, ‘99 should’ve been blackout! by meth and red. Overall very valid and fair list.

This is the weirdest list i ever seen

This shit is 🎩

Man just put Kanye, Denzel & RTJ, congrats.

I agree with this list except that imo 2013 should've been Wolf and 2017 should've been flower boy or 4:44 and 2021 easily goes to CMIYGL

Where's Wayne? 2009 Should've been Tha Carter lll, even kids were singing lollipop in Africa and A milli. Lil Wayne is underrated google how much albums he puts out a year. You'll see what I'm talking about..

Lack of wlr, I fear

1987 - Paid In Full 1988 - It takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back 1989 - 3 Feet High and Rising 1990 - Amerikkka’s Most Wanted 1991 - Low End Theory 1992 - Chronic 1993 - Doggystyle 1994 - Illmatic 1995 - Me Against the World 1996 - All Eyez on Me 1997 - Life After Death 1998 - It’s Dark and Hell is Hot 1999 - Chronic 2001 2000 - Marshall Mathers LP 2001 - Blueprint 2002 - Eminem Show 2003 - Get Rich or Die Tryin 2004 - College Dropout 2005 - Thug Motivation 101 2006 - Hell Hath No Fury 2007 - Graduation 2008 - Carter III 2009 - Deeper than Rap 2010 - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 2011 - Take Care 2012 - Good Kid Maad City 2013 - Nothing was the Same 2014 - Forest Hills Drive 2015 - To Pimp a Butterfly 2016 - Coloring Book 2017 - DAMN 2018 - Victory Lap

Jay Z had the better album in 2001 and 2Pac had the better album in 1995

2014 should've definitely been 2014 Forest Hills Drive by J Cole

1995:5th wheel 2 the coach it's absolutely

I would have switched Aquemini for Miseducation and Aesop Rocky for Miss E so Addictive

Respectfully 1996 goes to All Eyez On Me

It Was Written> Reasonable Doubt

Didn’t even start from 79

older picks were fire, newer ones have some misses

Here's my list since the year i was born: 2008 - Kanye West - 808's 2009 - MF DOOM - BORN LIKE THIS 2010 - Kanye West - MBDTF 2011 - Childish Gambino - Camp (underrated imo) 2012 - Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Maad City 2013 - Tyler The Creator - Wolf 2014 - RTJ - RTJ2 2015 - Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly 2016 - Frank Ocean - blond. 2017 - Tyler The Creator - Flower Boy 2018 - Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs 2019 - Roddy Ricch - PEMFBA 2020 - Mac Miller - Circles 2021 - Tyler The Creator - CMIYGL

2008 Carter 3??! Omfg😂😂😂😂😂

Self-titled clipping. album is a 10/10 perfect record, change my mind.

My List: 1988 - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - Public Enemy 1989 - 6 Feet High & Rising - De La Soul 1990 - Fear of a Black Planet - Public Enemy 1991 - The Low End Theory - ATCQ 1992 - Spiral Walls Containg Autumns of Light - Divine Styler 1993 - Enter da Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu-Tang Clan 1994 - Smoked Out Loced Out - Three-6-Mafia 1995 - Dreamworld - Blackout 1996 - N*ggaz of Destruction - N.O.D. 1997 - Come - N - 2 - My World - The V.O.S.

Just title the video conscious rap because Monster is probably the best rap project of 2014, jeffery easily the best of 2016 and Rodeo should be an honourable mention for 2015

1996 = All eyez on me
