    It’s not pure rap but it’s enough to be considered a rap album imo

    You think 400 degreez is better than miseducation? I love both but miseducation is a potential top 10 album of all time

    This & the All Eyez On Me review are great, especially for those that are trying to learn the context behind those records.

    It certainly had the greatest long-term influence between Louisiana rappers inheriting part of Juve's flow & Mannie setting the blueprint for Southern producers, but I'd still take Aquemini any day over it

    Great writeup, and I'd definitely say it's probably the album from that year with the most influence, but I'd be lying if I said I return to it that often.

    If I'm picking only one rap album from 98 to listen to, it's probably Black Star.

    Funny as f---. But seriously, no. Nah, baby. Just no. The real best rap album of that year was released by THESE GUYS:
