Ice Cube-The Predator:

Captured the feeling of the LA Riots very effectively.

Nas-Illmatic

HIs flow was tight on that one. A classic.

This is a hard one because there are so few. Probably Luke's "I Got Shit On My Mind".

Kim and Foxy shouldn't even APPEAR as 2 of the choices...in fact, they shouldn't even be mentioned in an ALL FEMALE version of this question.

Best rap album of the 90s = X-Clan "To The East, Blackwards"

De La Soul 3Ft. High


Biggie - Life After Death


2Pac - All Eyez On Me


Lil Kim - Hardcore


its very hard 2 choose between all these for me..

De La Soul had too many interludes

Biggie the 2nd disc was better but as a whole it is classic
2Pac - I havent really got that in2 that album though it is really good.
Lil Kim left me limp by the end.

Nasd - Illmatic it's a very good album but it just sounds very dated for my time. Maybe I should go back in2 it.
