I think I addressed this as being precisely my problem with it. Jazzmatazz for example, was one of best best hip hop albums I've heard, but I'd still only give it a 3 on RYM. I've found a lot of hip hop I have nothing bad to say about, but the point remains that I still wouldn't choose to listen to it over any other album in my collection.

Except Demon Days. Fxck me do I love Demon Days.
