Bloody Hell! It should be at number 1. Those who never heard this album should drown themselves in water. Every song of this album is awesome. Especially "LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE FT RIHANNA" is the best. Love it, it brings the beast out of me.


It sickens me to see Notorious B.I. G at only number 19.

This is the best rap album because of its legacy memorability and greatness R.I.P Easy E
