    it isnt tho, i agree many people overrate it but come on, you could give it a 7/10 if you were being harsh

    Lauryn Hill was a reach as well, she's someone that deserves credit but not that much.

    Idk what score I'd give it but I do rank it as a heavy contender alongside J. Cole's first two albums as my favorite albums to help me cure insomnia.

    i don't know if kendrick is there yet. good kid, m.A.A.d. city is great, and one of the best albums of this half-decade so far. but there are plenty of rappers who have an album that good and have done more beyond that. when i say "plenty," i just mean that you hit twenty faster than you'd think. like, how do you rank him above quik?

    I'll take the songs from the C3 sessions over just about everything but my only I guess criticism of Weezy's career is he was always close to making that magnum opus but it just never manifested, exceptional catalogue notwithstanding.

    i see your point.
    i think the only way there will be no arguments on a best rappers list is if there are like 50 different lists to choose from, because i can socially connect to a rapper and think he is miles ahead of what you think he deserves

    Lmao at the fact some people think Em and Jay should be interchanged. Em hasn't made an album that can hold a candle to Reasonable Doubt. SSEP might just make the cut but that's it.

    You start listening to rap in 2011? Wayne has had a MUCH better career than Kendrick has so far.

    Sorry but Lauryn Hill ? f---. She only has like one album which I'm not a fan of.
    No 2pac ? smh...
    Biggie #1 ? He is one of my favs but with his short discography Idk maybe 2pac, Jay-Z or Eminem would have been a better fit even though both Jay & Em has lows in their discographies.

    EDIT: I think Kendrick should've been ranked lower than Wayne btw. There is still time for Kendrick to surpass Wayne...

    Irrelevant because
    This is an all time list, Kendrick doesn't belong here yet.
