yeah ny rap is the best music ever, nothing can or should touch it

Thanks for the whole thing a hoy hoy. I've listened to almost nothing but hip hop for the past month, discovered loads of great albums, loved the rollout.

Seems I seriously overrated affection for Brand Nubian, Souls of Mischief and Geto Boys.

except of course for Dizzee

Sam could you repost the whole list but without ilxor's votes plz?

Our list a little less nerdy than RYM's, but pretty close

album should have made it.

lol symsymsym just wants to segregate everyone

2 (!) kane albums come above lltk

Didn't know ILM hated the Roots so much

yeah well I grew up an hour outside NYC while rap was getting born so I know the dominance was unquestionable for a long time

other regions have risen up in the past 10 years, it's interesting to see how NYC rules even now

and yet tim dog still didn't place

xps

I strongly believe the only ppl who listen to the roots voluntarily are critics who get sent their albums for free

the rest are at guantanamo, being tortured

haw haw

<3 the roots, dunno if i would have voted for them on here though, illadelph maybe.

I think the only ppl who really REALLY dig The Roots are other musicians
