    I think Vaudeville Villain was album of 2003 too personally. And I'm only laughing because they aren't exactly the obvious choices considering they aren't widely known or celebrated.

    at that point in time? maybe if you ignore scarface, jay z, kanye, doom, slug, etc

    there are allowed to be more than 1 incredible rapper.

    and even then, thats not all this list was about. it takes into account influence on the genre. Eminem, IM sure, is up there even for WPG. just wasnt #1 or #2.

    so you've never listened to The Fix front to back, have you? or Just Tryin' Ta Live? thought so. you need to listen to more rap music before you b---- about people who have put in the work.
    no. kendrick put out a great album in 2011 and a masterpiece the next year. he's a phenomenal artist. he's not putting out anything within shouting distance of future this year.
    thoughts?
    marci is one of the most influential rappers of this decade. go south of the mason-dixon line and tell me kevin gates isn't a massive star.

    future basically has just as much critical acclaim (b/c its spread over more projects than kendrick), and hes definitely more in tune with his artistry than kendrick.

    Is Mood Muzik 3 a classic?

    I open the debate

    It'd be for me if it wasn't for the audio quality

    i have him second in two different years.
    eminem was and is one of the most commercially successful artists of all time. no one can or should try to take that away from him. he had little to no palpable impact on the direction of hip-hop.

    Was that your first Madvillainy listen?
    Hmm didn't see that apologies, still think he deserves both 04 and 03 though or at least 03.
