Nas is up there doe

that almost flew over my head lel

[King Lance]

I'd take 7, 8 and 9 off that list.

Doggystyle was one of the best albums of the 90's though

And Pac should probably be number 1 just based on the fact that he had so much more material than Biggie did.

No love for Big L?

Snoop Dogg, man? Fuck that, put Big L up there. Dude was king of punches.

I can't disagree with the list much. I'd probably switch a few names around, but this is one of the few Complex lists that I don't have an issue with.

I'd put Pac over Big, but it's debatable.

Jay-Z is too high, he's one of the goats but people weren't fucking with him until the late 90s

The only problem with putting Wu member on the list is which ones to choose from.

Method Man was the most popular member in the 90s, but many felt (back then) that Inspectah Deck or GZA were the best in the group.

People felt that Rae made the best solo album in Wu (in the 90's), but Ghost and Cappadonna also had a big part in Cuban Linx.

After Ghost started drapping flawless albums in the 00's, people considered him the best in Wu, but that doesn't make him top 10 in the 90's.

Why a not? I was never a big fan and its my own opinion.

amerikka's most wanted and death certifcate are some of the greatest hip hop albums ever

he had everything from lyrics to the the flow the vocab that was the first mc i heard
using complex rhyme schemes from the west before pac.

he was ahead of his time

GZA is a beast but he doesn't have the best solo material
hip hop artists are often ranked based on their catalog, not on what they could do

[ronnie56]

eminem should be on the list also infinite slim shady ep lp etc
