    It's alot of dope albums but you can only name 10. Nobody putting that overrated ass so far gone over 90s classics

    That's your opinion fam. Like for me, my opinion 400 Degreez is a classic and one of the best hip hop albums ever. But I'm from the south. Some others may not feel me on that.

    But So Far Gone did change the game, so for that it should get credit. All classic music doesn't have to be a thing of the past or when everyone was rocking timbo boots and ? . I hate mumble rap, but real ? the IC needs more balance and more youth. I respect the ? outta The Golden era of hip hop, but I ain't oblivious to what's going on in music now or how youngins gonna he calling Acid Rap a classic in 10 years.

    I remember back around the start of 98 The Source had their 100th issue & they put out a 100 best albums list. Looking back that ? was legit, put me on to a lot of history.

    This is a countdown. The vault is just albums that were voted in with no ranking involved.

    How did So Far Gone change the game when it basically was a 808s and Heartbreaks knockoff

    Illmatic- the new testament of the rap bible

    Paid in Full- the old testament of how to design rhymes and rhyme schemes

    ?

    The Chronic both of these albums helped elevate a specific sound unique to the West Coast and the put the West on the map

    36 Chambers- premier of the hardest group out and the blueprint for how to market your group for mainstream and underground appeal

    Ready To Die- never has their been a debut that was bigger and more defined in Hip Hop than Big's first album

    Me against the World- the album where Pac had fully grown into his Prime

    7 Day Theory- the best posthumous release of any rapper

    ATLiens - classic southern sound with funk influences and like MATW the quintessential album of this group

    Amerikka's Most Wanted-forgotten gem but another album that made the West
