DOC - No One Can... never featured in the top 100

What u all think? This was published March 2000 in a british mag so it isnt biased towards a certain coast like the source may be.

it actually says that 69% of the top 100 are East Coast albums and 19% West, 12% are from elsewhere.
Defjam was top label with the most in top 100, them
Jive
Loud
Sony
EMI
Priority
Tommy Boy
Elektra, Deathrow & Rawkus joint 8th place.

top year in the top 100 was 1994 with 14%
the '93 with 13%...
92, 91, 99, 88=98, 97=95, 90=87

What Was The Magazine Called?

18. Can-I-Bus? What The Fuck? It Was A Decent Album, But Not That Far Up.

I'm Feeling There Top 10 List Though. But It Needs "Ready To Die", "Chronic" & "Doggystyle" In The Top 10.

Were These In:

Big L - "The Big Picture"
Fugees - "The Score"
Nas - "It Was Written

They Deserve To Be In.

No Jay-Z. Thats Fucked Up, Reasonable Doubt Should Easily Have Made It, In The Top 20 Aswell.

the magazine is called Hip-Hop

Big L - "The Big Picture"
Fugees - "The Score"
Nas - "It Was Written  aren't in it.

Fugees - blunted on reality is at no. 93
no big L album or nas except illmatic.

[I TO DA GEEZY]

Fuck them. They don't know shit about hip-hop.

(Fuck 'em, fuck 'em)
Young beast to four green
Dirty or clean nigga the money is all green
(Fuck 'em, fuck 'em)
Cock it back ya know me
Every nigga look the same behind a stocking cap
(Fuck 'em, fuck 'em)
Shit on waisted
Rather see death then be locked down in metal bracelets
(Fuck 'em, fuck 'em)
Don't make a difference
Niggas in the hood is still broke and can't fix it

Where is ATLiens and E.1999 Eternal? Its a travesty that those two albums are not on there.
