Thought about 01, yet those 96 classics was too much to ignore

My only problem with the 96 list is "It was written". HOW COME "SILENT MURDER" WAS ON THE CASSETTE VERSION AND NOT THE CD???

Weazel

It was a bonus track on the album, atleast on the album I bought

GetoBoy

2001 - The Blueprint, Stillmatic, Bulletproof Wallets

Lyrically...96>>>01
Musically....01>>>96
Plus that time period and those two albums from jay and nas gave birth to one of the greatest battles in hip hop history that I don't ever see being topped

But its as close as close can get to me.....

Wallets wasnt Ghost's best material but I can't vote against Blueprint and Stillmatic.

It Was Written was the first Hip Hop CD I purchased retail when it dropped. Slight sentimental bias.

I sat here for a good minute like...... "? ....... these ? got me stumped..... "

But I gotta go with 1996. It Was Written is a classic to me. Ironman is a classic. Reasonable Doubt is a classic. Bulletproof Wallets is not. Now if this Stillmatic, Blueprint and Fishscale, I might go with that.

'96 ? is sick no doubt . . .

But The Blueprint n Stillmatic r two of my favorite albums ever. Like true soundtracks to my life when I was out there in the streets putting in work. If I listen to those two albums now they take me back n give the same feelings I had when I first t listened to them

Kinda feel you on that. Blueprint dropped on 9/11
pivotal time for the country in general. Also Blueprint Unplugged is GOAT.
Nas dropped Ether on Jay Z birthday which was I'll also. Nas called up the local station and said " This is for my boy , got a little gift for him fir his birthday"

Reasonable Doubt- Jay's best album

It Was Written- Nas' 2nd best album

Ironman- Ghost's 2nd best album (personally like Supreme Caliente more)

Weazel

1996 - Reasonable Doubt, It Was Written, Ironman

Reasonable Doubt & The Blueprint are my favourite Jay albums
Illmatic, It Was Written & Stillmatic are my favourite Nas albums
Ironman, Bulletproof Wallets & (cosing Poncho), Supreme Clientele are my favourite Ghost albums

2001 is a very close second though

YamoleySensei

1996 - Reasonable Doubt, It Was Written, Ironman

1996 easy....
2001 Blueprint & Stillmatic (overrated), Bulletproof Wallets (meh)
2006 Hip Hop is Dead (okay album), Kingdom Come (wack as ? ), Fishscale (3rd best Ghost album and a personal classic for me)

Breezy_Kilroy

Great poll though. I gotta think about it
