Best Hip Hop Albums of the 20th Century

The Top Ten
1 Life After Death - The Notorious B.I.G.
2 All Eyez on Me - 2Pac
3 Illmatic - Nas

Deserves all the best props. Illmatic can't be compared to any Hip Hop album. Nas himself said it, there'll never be another Illmatic. It is a Hip Hop library. A Bible... A book of rhymes... A lexicon... Alpah and Omega of Hip Hop... The best to come out of the streets...

Nas deserves position one with Illmatic, then comes Pac and Biggie. Nas is extremely advanced lyrically. Where are Jay-Z, DMX, Jada, Eminem and AZ?

Best rap album of all time. Nas's flow is incredible. Nothing compares to this album.
