And College Dropout instead of Encore. (though, Encore is an underrated album)

The Game - Documentary - 2005

Yeah, T.I., Kanye West, Nas all have arguments for 2004.. good ones too. Will probably convince myself first hand when I listen to all.

Also, :oldlol: at anything but Madvillainy for 04.

[Knicks101]

Also, :oldlol: at anything but Madvillainy for 04.

Dude says anything Kanye or Kendrick, then posts this. Then deletes the post when he said anything Kanye or Kendrick because he realized College Dropout came out the same year as Madvillainy.

Just wanted to point that out.

A lot of people don't like Eminem or his subject matter. Why is that hard to believe? I don't mind MMLP being considered the best in 2000. Great album but slow down with the hyperbole.

Stankonia
Supreme Clientele
Deltron 3030
HNIC

Any of those can be considered better. Hell, 2 of them are clearly better imo.
