Hey! I covered 2 albums from the 80s! Even though the 80s is the golden age of hip-hop, I really think it has came a long way from then. But I still like me some old school.

No Nas on the entire list... that's just plain sinful and wrong. Also no Wu Tang, but I can understand not having Wu more than I can understand not having Nas. Blasphemy.

Common at number 1 really surprised me, I didn't see that coming. I am gonna have to download that album, I've never heard it.

Reasonable Doubt at 3 I can't deal with. It's like I am the only person who just doesn't like Jay Z. Never really loved his flow and he's got a bunch of filler lyrics in my opinion. Reasonable Doubt is my favorite album of his, but I just can't dig him no matter how hard I try.
You know, I was surprised that 2Pac ended up ahead of Biggie but like Tuna said...

Also, I have mucho respecto for Wu-Tang and its fellow associates solo albums but eh, this is what I ended up with, for the time being, that is...

Dirty, or anyone else that hasn't listened to "Electric Circus", check back here after you have given it a shot and let me hear your thoughts!
