    Bolded are wack. You can't sit here and tell me Back on My BS was better than Before I Self Destruct.

    Italicized should be lower on the list

    The top 10 of 08 looking strong but then it fell the ? off. Haven't heard Elephant In The Room but Ego Trippin by Snoop belongs somewhere in the top 10. I still haven't heard that Ghostface album too for some reason and I'm a big Ghost fan..

    even though its an experimental album its still banging, top 10 last year arguably top 5
