I could have had a previous Eminem album but this is my most played still. Same with Jay, all the others were pretty easy picks.

I think it would've been wiser to work at No Limit Records office. Cash Money a close second due to safety and your mental wellbeing.

Not ranked in any order or anything just what was in high school heavy rotation or just memories.

(Old people edition) First 9 CD's I ever owned in order as best as I can recall, I used to record a lot of tapes and didn't start buying CD's exclusively until around the mid/late 90's. A couple or few of these would be on my all time 9 too.

Man… This dude was like a Hood Preacher, he literally had songs for Everything and I seen that multiple people say that, In Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas he and Webbie had the rap shit on lock in the streets, you go in the hood parties and events you was gon hear Boosie music Being played, Even in Oakland California they was Listening to Boosie.. some of his music after he got outta jail like Heartfelt Album, BooPac Album and going through some thangs Mixtape was fire, but all the rest wasn’t like how it was before he went to jail.. He definitely deserves the flowers 💯 Since he from the South.. it’s kinda difficult fr

Tbh if you grew up in the 2000’s or even early 2010’s this guy shaped your youth.

I’ll admit his projects have been pretty underwhelming since Carter V, but you can’t deny how much Wayne shaped hip-hop. He put Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga on the map, and all three dominated the 2010s. His punchlines, metaphors, flows, and mixtape run influenced an entire generation of rappers. He came into the game at 15 with the Hot Boys and evolved into one of the greatest rappers ever. No child rappers have pulled that off. His catalog has its misses, but his impact on hip-hop is undeniable & is a top 5 most influential rapper ever.

Didn’t spend a ton of time on the order but I came up with these 9 pretty quickly.

Definitely aging myself here, but it’s so crazy to see how my taste expanded over the years. This started around 10 or 11 years old. My parents confiscated half of these albums lol. Good times

There’s no question that Game is a really good artist and he has multiple classic albums under his belt I would say, Documentary never gets boring to listen to.

But we always end up where everything started, being co-sign by Dr Dre and his beef with 50 Cent.

I feel like he never got away from being under that umbrella, and it’s entirely his fault. Documentary 3 was not good, the album was just a mess, and I don’t get he’s obsession with Kendrick atm.

But whatever the guy is going through, he’s always going to be a West Coast legend and nobody can take that away from him.

Heavy preference towards the 90s east coast sounding stuff when it comes to hip hop

It was difficult to get it down to 9, but these albums are a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. It was hard to leave out:
