    d--- that's tough. Almost went with Nas, but I have to give props to Kanye. College Dropout and Late Registration are albums which I could listen from start to end. I might even consider adding Graduation to those...maybe.

    Others I considered: Illmatic/IWW, 808s/MBDTF, MMLP/TES, S80/GKMC

    Illmatic is universally loved and I happen to like It Was Written more.

    Noticeable Ommisions:
    The Infamous => h--- on Earth
    Ironman => Supreme Clientele
    Vaudeville Villain => Madvillainy
    AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted => Death Certificate
    It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back => Fear of a Black Planet
    Step in the Arena => Daily Operation
    Black Star => Black on Both Sides
    Illadelph Halflife => Things Fall Apart

    I picked Kanye (CD & LR) but Eminem, Biggie, Nas & Kendrick are very close calls.

    Someone should also add OutKast ATLiens & Aquemini as choices

    Yeah I was gonna say this too but voted for AEOM/7 day theory anyways since it's close. I do prefer MATW though.

    Eminem wins this one for me hands down. I'd put Kendrick 2.

    Dr. Dre- The Chronic and Chronic 2001.

    The only rapper ever to release nothing but classic albums. Which is why he's now afraid to release anymore.
