i'm not really sure what's the truest definition of hip-hop, but personally i view it as mainstream pop but more on rnb and rap. so here goes my list:
5. Destiny's Child's Writings On The Wall
4. Mary J. Blige's No More Drama
3. Christina Aguilera's Stripped
2. Alicia Keys' Songs In A Minor
1. Mariah Carey's Emancipation of Mimi
