I was 4 when that album came out. I JUST got into rap music this year.

Well, I only heard Illmatic for the first time 2 years ago, but that's not the point. The point is I'd heard before everyone was going nuts over the new album.

On a side note, I'm surprised Let There Be Blood isn't #50 on this list.

I wasn't even considering going within 10 miles of that shit.

I think they reason they recorded it was because Gary was probably moping "well the only album anyone ever talks about with us is Bonded By Blood, the only album that ever sells well is Bonded By Blood, maybe if we rerecorded that album those stupid fuckers will buy it again"

It's for better residuals for the current members.

very interesting read Overkiller, I wish I had the time to listen to as many albums as you in one year, well blame it on Iron Maiden



btw, you didn't listen to 'Blooddrunk' by Children Of Bodom, is it because you don't like them or just you didn't had a chace to get a hand on it ?


Cheers !

I have no real interest in their new stuff. Once in a blue moon I'll throw on Follow the Reaper or Hatebreeder, but other than that I'll pass on CoB.

Pretty Solid list but seriously Lil Wayne in the top 10. I think Tha Carter 3 is patheic. Nas's untitled and Jedi Mind Tricks's A History of Violence are much better.
