Thanks for that reminder, I was definitely planning on getting this but it somehow slipped my mind until now.

I honestly can't think of any hip hop albums that are "perfect from start to finish", there's always a couple of weaker tracks. But my favourite albums would be.

Madvillain - Madvillainy
Ghostface Killah - Fishscale
Outkast - Stankonia
Jay-z - American Gangster

Ugh. Back when that album came out I had a downstairs neighbor who used to blast it day and night. It was like it was the only music he owned. I've avoided it for years and I'm still not sure I could ever give the thing a fair listen because of that.

Sorry Luke but I have to agree with Janszoon on this one. I think this album was one of those crossover albums that melded an RnB asthetic onto a Hip Hop beat and unleashed a whole heap of trash on the world.

It is not solely responsible but this album definitely ushered in a new way of marketing Hip Hop methinks.

Well they're far from groundbreaking, but I enjoy The Fugee's from time to time. They can't be blamed for all the ****ty Rn'B music imposed on the world Jackhammer!

Thats unfair isn't it?

Look at how the fugees were marketed, and compare them to artists now. Do you really see much of a connection between Akon, R-kelly, T-Pain with the fugees?

Are you going to blame the pioneers of punk as being responsible for blink-182 and avril lavigne?

You make it seem like every album that blends RnB is crap, which is incredibly far from reality.
