While the finals are taking place, I would like to add and/or mention some of my fav moments [and, not so fav moments, lol] of this classic tournament..........

greatest battle [not including finals]: Makaveli vs. Illmatic. In my opinion, these are the two greatest albums of all time [with Makaveli being #1 and Illmatic #2], and this coulda easily gone either way. The Chronic vs. Doggystyle match was a very close second. The Finals will probably be the best match when its all said and done though.

biggest upsets: Xzibit beating Midnight Marauders. This is just BLASPHEMY. Midnight Marauders shits all over anything Xzibit ever made. Also, Regulate....should have NEVER beat The Score.

best dark horse album: E.1999 Eternal....this was highest ranked album that recieved under 100 pts, and it got very far [and rightfully so, classic album] to make the final four in its Division before losing to what I consider the greatest album of all time, Makaveli. Strong performance from a great album up against great odds. It even beat It Takes A Nation Of Millions [which recieved over 120 pts], which is not an easy thing to do.

Most disappointing match: The Chronic vs. 36 Chambers. I knew the Chronic would win, but I thought it would at least be close. Turned out to be very lopsided.

Albums that shoulda gone far, but didnt: Moment Of Truth, Midnight Marauders, The Score, and Aquemini.

Most overrated album of the tournament: Dogg Food!! I dont even consider this album to be a classic, and how it got ranked #2 in its division is beyond me. Dont get me wrong, its a good album, Daz has some of the finest west coast production here, but the album is a 4 micer, nothing more/nothing less. Soul On Ice is highly overrated as well.

Best album to not make the tournament: DMX - Its Dark And Hell Is Hot.......this shoulda made the tournament over a ton of albums.

Smooth:
Doggystyle, no doubt about it... Snoop's flow is just too untouchable on there...
