Hip-Hop March Madness Tournament 2016
 

Okay this sub-forum isn't very active anymore so I hope this is a fun way to get people involved without doing another album survivor series. This is slightly different but with the same goal in mind - determining MB's favorite album for this genre.

Here's the vision:
-People nominate 10-20 of their favorite/most essential hip-hop albums
-The master list is narrowed down to 64, albums are seeded based on favorability and placed in a bracket format like so

-One on one battles, where people vote on which album they like better and discuss why, occur every few days until a winner is crowned (the idea is for this to move quickly as long as people keep voting)

Just an idea I had. More than willing to take suggestions to improve it, or move on if there is lack of interest. thanks!

I approve. I'll start thinking on a list. 10-20 means that there's no set number in between those boundaries?

I am definitely in for this. will be back with my list.
