Title: Top 5 Albums of 2004
Post by: Minkaveli on July 14, 2004, 04:03:31 PM
Since we are past the mid-way point now, I wanna know everyone's top 5 albums of '04.


Here are mine:

1.  Kanye West: College Dropout   8.5/10
2.  Jadakiss: Kiss Of Death   7.5/10
3.  Erick Sermon:  Chilltown NY  7.5/10
4.  The Roots:  Tipping Point   7/10
5.  Knoc'Turnal:  The Way I Am 7/10

I am very picky on my reviews.  I have only given out 4 perfect reviews.
2 Pac: All Eyez On Me
Dr. Dre: Chronic 2001
Common: Like Water For Chocolate
A Tribe Called Quest: Midnight Marauders
Anyway...

As of this post:

1. Kanye West-College Dropout-8.5/10
2. Mobb Deep- Amerikka's Nightmare- 8/10
3. Erick Sermon-Chilltown NY-7.5/10
4. The Roots- Tipping Point-7/10
5. Knoc-Turnal- The Way I Am 7/10

Reason Jadakiss was kicked off is because it has low listenability which means it got old pretty quick

I only bought one album this year...

Kanye West - The College Dropout (9/10)

It's been a year... this album is a personal classic, I still play it and play it front to back.

I put this album up there with The Blueprint and The Fix as my personal classics since 2000.

2. the alchemist - 1st infantry (tick tock and different worlds are truly incredible!)
3. nas - street's disciple (the production is a bit of a let down... but i love rest of my live and just a moment.)
4. murs - 3:19 the 9th edition (the pain is one of 2004's best songs, at least in my opinion.)
5. kanye west - college dropout (slow jamz. 'nuff said. :D)
