[Edited on 6/4/2004 by Sinobyte]

1. Eminem
2. DMX
3. 50 Cent
4. G-Unit (and each individual member)
5. D-12
6. Ludacris
7. Dre
8. Xzibit
9. 2-Pac
10. Nelly

I listed just the Artist because the all have several very good Cd's that I couldn't choose. Theres alot of other that are really good but just not good enough to make the Top Ten.

Amantine likes underground hiphop, so you probably don't know any of these artists.

1. Prefuse73 - One Word Extinguisher (+ Extinguished Outtakes)
   
2. Non-Prophets - Hope
   
3. El-P - Fantastic Damage
   
4. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...
   
5. Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst
   
6. Prefuse73 - Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives
   
7. MF Doom - Vaudeville Villain
   
8. Anti-Pop Consortium - Arrythmia
   
9. Hieroglyphics - Third Eye Vision
   
10. The Herbalizer - Something Wicked This Way Comes
    
11. RJD2 - Dead Ringer
    
12. Sage Francis - Personal Journals
    
13. Danger Mouse & Jemini - Ghetto Pop Life
    

Yes, I know that Prefuse73 and DJ Shadow aren't really rap, but I really like them. There are 3 albums by them in the list, so it's a top 10 if you subtract their albums.

Tupac: Me Against The World

Talib Kweli and DJ Hiteck: Reflection Eternal

AesopRock: Labor Days

Nas: but I'ma blow yo head with this, It Was Written is better than Illmatic

Jada Kiss: Kiss of Death (only cause I can't stop bumpin it right now)

Mos Def: Black on Both Sides

Ice Cube: Death Certificate

Above the Law: Uncle Sam's Curse

Lauryn Hill: The misudeducation of Lauryn Hill

Public Enemy: Fear of a Black Planet or Enemy Strikes back--man, can't pick both too dope.



that's me--yo, i could've kept goin but oh well...

These are not really the best per se, but my top 10 list, in no specific order.

2Pac: Me Against the World, The Rose That Grew From Concrete Vol. 1(compilation of poems), 7 Day Theory
Nas: Illmatic, God's Son
Jay Z: Black Album
Kanye West: College Dropout
Mobb Deep: Amerikaz Nightmare
Talib Kweli: Quality
Notorious B.I.G.: Juicy
Paris: Sonic Jihad
50 Cent: Get Rich Or Die Tryin'
