Apr 10, 2015 Yo, it's BoshtrichBurger here to bring you the Greatest Hip-Hop Album Knockout Tournament to ever grace the SectionEighty forum! Over the past two days I've collated the results that YOU gave to me. You guys were asked to nominate what you thought were some of the greatest albums (either universally lauded or just personal selection) to ever grace the great genre of Hip-Hop. A total of 103 albums were put up for nomination, with 64 meeting the requirements to enter this knockout tournament. To set up the seeds (from 1 to 64), I ran the list through random.org and what you will see below is the seeds that were spat out of the randomiser. I will try my best update this OP throughout the running of this tournament. So anyways, let the tourney begin! PS - Each round will last 18-24 hours.
