good stuff, and i'll probably still be working my way through this in 2018

[olo]

No Kool G Rap???. Sorry, list busted...

[BobDobalina]

What a dumb fucking list.  MF Doom gets a footnote, sure.

[koolkeyZ865]

Yeah but where is Viper?

[Silent Member]

List is bullshit.

 

List should be called best selling rappers by year.

 

Gocab is furious.

 

There's a fire in his pants.

[doublename]

Yeah this is just rappers who sold records that year. They also tried to have it both way giving Nas 94 and Biggie 95, even though the albums in question were both from 94.

 

Edit - Wu-Tang alone gave us Liquid Swords, Cuban Linx in 95 too.

[Guest Chesney]

Awful, i'm not a hiphop head but can think of tons that deserve credit.

[Kennylogg Bubblebath]

Where's Phife? Andre 3000? Big Pun? MF Doom?

 

(I know a couple of em got honourable mentions but c'monnnn)

[Leon Sumbitches]

2004 should have been DOOM, 100%

[usagi]

3 mentions of Drake, no mention of Kool Keith. great stuff.

[Soloman Tump]

3 mentions of Drake, no mention of Kool Keith. great stuff.

[DavieAddison]

[Lewps]

No Sensational?? pffftt

[joshuatxuk]

3 mentions of Drake, no mention of Kool Keith. great stuff.

 

[Rubin Farr]

Nicki Minaj, gimme a fuckin break.  I'd say Adam Horovitz definitely deserves an honorable mention, same for Andre 3000.  Cardi B made an entertaining album last year.

Yeah but where is Viper?

 

cruisin the school yard

[ghOsty]

Yyyyeeeaaah.... fuck this list. Drake dickriding, Nicki Minaj *vomits* tons of glaring omissions... No Kool Keith, no Del, no Slug, no Aesop Rock, no Ghostface, no Black Thought, making DOOM a footnote, undermining the Beastie Boys, no Outkast... I could go on. But seriously, fuck this list.

[joshuatxuk]

RAED isn't even on here, is he?

smh

[usagi]

[YangYing]

[peace 7]

This list is WHACK-- WORD TO THE LIST'S MOTHA

[BCM]

[usagi]

quite.

[hma]

[ambermonk]

Everything after '96 is over-commercialized mainstream pop MTV bullshit. I'll make an exception for Kendrick tho.

A couple of you guys mentioned MF Doom and Kool Keith. We should make our own damn list and include those cats. I'd also add Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), El-P, Anne Hutchinson, etc.
