If Ready to Die is in the top 3 then MMLP should be in the top 25. Impact means as much as quality.

impact = sales ??

And sales mean something, you think MJ's Thriller would make any lists if it only went 3 platinum? Also, the MMLP created a lot of contraversy and brought a lot of good attention to Rap. Well, better attention than MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice brought to it. MMLP was an MC at his finest, he played around with a lot of flows, and created a spectacilar peice of conceptual poetry with Stan. I don't know what makes anything by Biggie better than this. I've said it before, and I'll say it again; Chris Wallace was the most overrated MC in rap. He was good, even great, but he's way over praised. He very rarely expiremented, his flow and rhymes overshdowed his lyrical content. The guy basically retold gangster movies on wax. Where was the originality. I'm not saying Em is number one, or even close, but just because of Stan I place him above Biggie as far as being an artist goes.

Paid in Full for greatest album is cool with me anyday

I can see Paid In Full on top of any list. Arguing the greatest rap album of all time is a very hard thing to do, but Paid In Full is top 5 in any list. So being rank number one is no surprise.

De La Soul and Ready to Die, top three though... hum? I'd put Illmatic up there, along with Makaveli, The Diary and The Chronic. Too many great albums to choice from, including Criminal Minded and Low End Theory. Lets not forget AmeriKKKa'z Most Wanted, the only westcoast album to get a 5 mic review. It's a hard list to complete for sure.

Hieroglyphics - 3rd Eye Vision, well.. thats my favourite haha.
