    In high-school we were more about singles than full album. It was always grime too. Lethal Bizzle - Pow. Kano - Signs In Life. Akala - Shakespeare. These songs are still good today to be fair.

    Definitely, created a massive shift in hip hop when that dropped, no album will ever be as impactful as Raw.

    That is what I meant, like four albums you loved that defined your taste that also came out while you were in high school, but people kind of just listed their four favorite albums of all time while in high school

    I was tempted to throw No Ceilings on the list but couldn’t justify it. It would be next up for me though
