Hip-Hop Album Survivor

Cypress Hill's self titled debut is essential for the 90s list imo.

Anyone have any other albums for this?

Just general albums I like?

I think Super Tight by UGK should be there, as it's not only a personal favorite, but also there isn't much southern hip hop represented - as far as I can tell it's just Outkast

Don't know if I can hype it enough, but The Water[s] by Mick Jenkins would top my '10s list.

There's also some albums that I'd switch for a different one by the same artist (Eric B & Rakim, Mos Def, etc), but I can't really argue with putting the current ones on here.

Thanks for the bump Frown, I forgot about this for awhile. If there's anyone with any recommendations, or arguments that other albums should be here instead of the existing ones, I'm all ears. It'd be nice to get this thing rolling within a week or two if possible.

I'd be up for putting The Water[s] on here, great project. Anyone object/agree?

I added a handful of albums, I think the list is starting to look pretty good. It'd be nice if we could get at least 15 for each decade though.

Well, if there's nothing left to add, would everyone be alright with getting this thing started?

Well, if you insist.

I'm thinking of starting this off like the rest of the Survivor threads on the forum, voting off the albums you like the least and whichever gets the most votes is removed. Once we get down to four albums for a decade however, we'll move on to the next one, until we have 4 albums for all 4 decades (that's 16 albums for those of you who can't do math.) I will then throw those 16 albums into a tournament style bracket with random seeding and we'll go through the match-ups until just one album remains.
