1. Outkast - Stankonia. "Outkast wit' a K/Yeah them niggaz r hard/Harder than a nigga tryin' to impress God/We pull ya whole deck/Fuck pullin' ya card/But still take my guitar and take a walk in the park/Then play the sweetest melody the streets ever heard/Got bitches suckin' on my nouns and I'm eatin' they verbs/Get full..." With that quote from an Andre 3000 verse, there is no need to explain this album. Everyone has it. Everyone has heard it. Everyone already knows who produced this album. LEGENDARY MUSICAL MASTERPIECE. "So Fresh, So Clean" is still one of my ride-out songs.
1. 2Pac + Outlawz - Still I Rise. As you can see, this album is tied with Outkast's Stankonia. This album was actually released on December 19, 1999 but was certified double platinum in 2000. I appreciate this album for two reasons : 1. They didn't alter his vocals, and 2. The production was EXCELLENT coming from EDI MEAN, Johnny J and QDIII. There were no features with artists that 2Pac didn't get along with like most of his posthumous albums. This has to be the best release that Ms. Shakur authorized.
2. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP. Eminem sold over 1.79 million albums his first week. Then went on to sell well over 19 million copies. The production was handled by the great Dr. Dre and Eminem himself. It featured Dr. Dre, D-12, Xzibit and Snoop Dogg. This album was crazy. Simply put. It spawned the hits, "The Way I Am", "Stan", and "The Real Slim Shady". In my opinion, this is Eminem's best album. This release also solidified Em's position as a lyrical threat to opposing rappers...
3. R. Kelly - TP2.COM. I may catch some severe backlash for this one but OH WELL! In my opinion, this was a well needed release from R. Kelly. TP2 sold over 4 million copies within 6 months of its release. Kellz is a musical genius. A few of his albums will make the 'greatest albums of all-time' list. A lot of people in America have created children to this album. Do your research. "Strip For You", "The Greatest Sex", "I Don't Mean It", "I Wish", "A Women's Threat"...shall I continue?
