T-Dogg:
Some people got way too much free time...
What sticks out on your list is Dr. Dre 2001 - 4/5. I know it's useless to debate over matters of taste, but I'd say that shit's a full 5 on your system.
ImmortalOne:
^^^Actually, it didnt take me that long.....a technique called copy and paste made sure of that ;)
And I know alot of people think 2001 is a classic, but not me. First of all, its extremely average lyrically, the subject matter is all the same on almost every song, and it has filler. Therefore, its not a classic in my eyes. But each to his own.

:o
I always thought it was really good lyrically, everyone came off nice...Dre suprised me the most.
I never thought I would see 2Pac's 2Pacalypse Now rated higher than 2001. Ah well :-\
