Wow Naughty by Nature goes down in an upset...

Tribe should be number one.

What a shitty list.

 

.. the Lox..? For real?

oh it's for real.

It's hard to argue against Kast at number one. I've tried my best in the past and failed gloriously every time.

 

I mean, with each passing year, I come closer to believing ATLiens is the best hip hop album ever made.

 

...also, shiny suits aside, Jadakiss and Styles P have always been quality MCs.

G-Unit and The Lox don't belong anywhere near that list. I'm a fan of Jada and Styles, but there are much more deserving groups.

 

Definitely agree with OutKast at #1 though.

ATLiens is easily one of my favourite hip hop ablums of all time, also Im not arguing against them being #1... list making is always a tight rope, you can interchange that #1  spot with a number of other groups and justify it successfully.

 

But if he's putting the Lox on there simply cause of longevity (10 years), then how did The Roots get honorable mention and not crack the list? The've been doin it since 95. Not to mention the fact that they were front runners in changing the way live hip hop shows were performed forever.

 

Not being versed in Jadakiss and Styles P historically, Im not sure how exactly theyve changed the game?

 

Dudes should title these lists "My Favourite..." instead of GREATEST OF ALL TIME...  it makes it harder to digest when they use the latter.

 

And buddy doesn't even mention  Eric B and Rakim? Bollocks

How do Public Enemy and The Roots not crack the top 8???

where the hell is Arrested Development on this list?!  Conspiracy suckas

Why a list of 8? I think this needs at least 10. Pharcyde, BDP, Jurassic 5  and Company Flow need some love.

 

G-Unit is a snorefest. 

Was Color Me Bad not elgible?

Run DMC should have been number 1. Boogie Down Prod. and Public Enemy should have been on the list instead of honorable mentions.

I second that Bryan.

What about Snow? :)

 

"informer...." hahaha
