    There will be a Clipse album on here, I know BigCountry has been very vocal of his appreciation for them so I'll be shocked if Lord Willin' or h--- Hath No Fury aren't on one of those choices. I'm fairly positive Midnight Marauders and post-808s Kanye will be on here for certain. Great write-ups and choices I'm glad this isn't one of those sanctimonious purist lists you'd normally come across.

    Yeah actually HHNF is definitely the 00s album. For some reason I thought Big Boi's was 09. :snoop:

    Really enjoying this thread. I'm glad you had Monster on there. It was the first project that really started growing my love for Future. Pluto and Honest were solid for me at the time but didn't give me the same feeling Monster did. And I'm gonna sound like a hipster but it's also cool cause it isn't as popular and hasn't been outplayed like most of his recent projects, making it a little more special. I still think 56 Nights is my favorite though.

    Here are some of my guesses:

    Kendrick Lamar - S.80 (I remember you saying this was your favorite Kendrick album. It's my favorite as well.)
    Outkast - Aquimini
    Clipse - h--- Hath No Fury
    A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
    Kanye - MBDTF

    @Ordinary Joel seems pretty accurate with his choices. I don't think Herbo though cause you might feel like it's too soon to put it in your top 10. For the 2010's I considered Danny Brown, Gibbs, and Thug but I don't think they make top 10 either. At least not yet.

    yeah I remember bug saying s80 was his fav kendrick project, I always remember him saying mbdtf was in his top 10
