This album's production is practically flawless. TBH I can't really make a top ten list there's way too many albums I fuck with heavily for me to narrow it down.

Nice. Dude killed some of his verses on the Thugga leaks. I always thought he was just one of those Vine-stars, didn't know he rapped, lol.
Bruh... go get them mixtapes

I'm sorry but this is an L.
I can't think of any artist who released a moderate to big major release without a tour this year (not counting irrelevant soundcloud rappers like Thugger). Big Sean toured, Travis toured, Joey Badass, Drake, Cole (technically 2014 release but still).
Kendrick started the spring/summer by doing festivals, which wasn't a bad idea. But the lack of a TPAB tour makes no sense. My only explanation is that TDE shot for larger venues and realized Kendrick couldn't sell them out. What other explanation is there? Maybe they stubbornly wanted him to only take TDE artists on tour, instead of going for a Kendrick+tier 2 artist+Vince Staples tour for instance.
They're fucking up, again.

damn, all this Death Certificate love almost makes up for MBDTF
ya'll 2 were onna A list, check ya messages
is this for real? totally know people who do this, fuck
i mean, of course you'd ride for that over blueprint/reasonable/black album etc haha
some really interesting picks, but ive yet to get through a whole JMT album
i feel like i would've in the early aughts/backpacker days but now i dunno, might feel forced...could be wrong here
man, stankoania as your best outkast is one thing, but this is a really...interesting pick, over the rest of their discog and all
yeah mine'd look a bit like this honestly
wasn't expecting these, nice man
i mean...for real though
esh/PD comin for ya bruh
damn, i used to play this tons in the day, but just kept going to keep ya head up, i get around, papaz song etc...lotta stuff i found skippable but its been forever
just like that, esh fucked my whole shit up - i have to separate these in my mind, or i need like 3 spots for nuja, uyama hiroto & fat jon right off the bat, damn
also fam how do you feel about the shinobifist spin on these things - i.e., he argued Forever > 36 for refinement/etc, part of me feels that way with Black > Reasonable...thoughts?
yeah, i think this is why most go with Me Against (versus say All Eyez which i think has higher highs but far too much padding/Outlawz overall)
but still, doesn't a greatest hits still feel kinda like cheating on a top 10 album list?
yeah, got that vinyl in poor condition from my boy but still love it
yooooooooooooo
if i had to go:
ATCQ - Midnight Marauders
Wu - Enter the 36
Nas - Illmatic
BIG - Ready to Die
GZA - Liquid Swords
Cube - Predator
Snoop - Doggystyle
Ghost - Supreme Clientele
goddamn i need an Eric B & Rakim greatest hits/combo of their first 2 albums
fuck this my list is too safe here's some other junk i like dammit whatever

Nibels' troll list is impressive for leaving off the obvious LASERS nod
exactly - RD has mad love & influence but i just revisit black album to this day. if i had a dollar fo reverytime i referenced PSA, i could pay these student loans
higher highs, and i dont consider most of those (outside justify) dudes personally
if im really inclined to cheat, some of those tracks are fantastic on the many mix albums that resulted too

My most recent all time top 10 is from a GAF-Hop thread ~3 years ago. Most of it hasn't changed so I'll use that with some alterations
No order because it's hard enough to narrow down a top 10 much less rank these
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda
Dr. Dre - 2001 (the first half is so gotdamn good the medeocre 2nd half doesn't matter)
Cunninlynguists - Oneirology
Ice Cube - Death Certificate
Method Man & Redman - Blackout!
Redman - Muddy Waters
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
ATLiens or Aquemini have always had a weird way of floating in and out of my top 10 depending on how much I like Cuban Linx at the moment as well.

its got its merits - like, i love the shit out of Ironman but I gotta go with Supreme personally. there's raw early works and there's sometimes masterclass later shit, you know?
as a biggie stan i think that's one of the big losses, looking at (for me) a top 5 album like ready to die and wondering what he might've put together on a later work
fuuuuuck good picks

You think that until you remember Nas hasn't come close to his own '94 debut in over 20 years.
Sometimes, dead is better
I'm the dude who really likes Street's Disciple over other Nas albums. The only De La albums I've intensively listened to were the two Art Official Intelligence ones and Grind Date, that's why. The older albums are definitely good, but they are a bit too flowery. Stakes Is High is great, too, from what I remember (the Dilla-produced title-track is a classic).
