Lauryn Hill and Kanye West were among the many hip-hop stars that landed on Entertainment Weekly’s “New Classics” list. In the pop magazine’s current issue they ranked the best in movies, TV shows, books, and albums over the past 25 years.
The former Fugees front woman landed at number two with her solo debut The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill; Hill ranked behind Prince’s Purple Rain album, which netted the top spot.
Ye’s outpaced Big Brother on the list. The Chicago lyricist was awarded the number four slot for his debut, The College Dropout. Jay-Z’s The Blueprint pulled in at number seven, to round out the hip-hop entries in the top ten of the 100-entry list.
A pair of critically-acclaimed rap albums showed up on the list next in the form of OutKast (Stankonia) and Eminem (The Marshall Mathers LP). The Atlanta duo landed at 12, while Em pulled in at number 15.
The list didn’t just rely on contemporary hip-hop albums. A Tribe Called Quest’s debut, People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, along with De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising, also made the list. The Native Tounge click proved well at numbers 18 (ATCQ) and 22 (DLS), respectively.
Nas’s Illmatic netted the number 28 slot. Run-DMC’s Raising Hell earned the number 38 position, quickly followed by The Notorious B.I.G. at number 40 for his debut, Ready to Die.
Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and the Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique rounded out the top 50 at slots 42 and 43.
Other albums that made the list include The Fugees’ The Score (51), Public Enemy’s It Takes a Nation of Millions…(55), Eric B & Rakim’s Paid in Full (61), Dr. Dre’s The Chronic (66), 2Pac’s All Eyez on Me (87), and T.I.’s Trap Muzik (95)

Don't agree with that. T.I. is a rapper for southern fans, but not for others. So him on a top 100 of new classics? Hell no.

maybe his other albums, but Trap Muzik is straight hip-hop (minus maybe 3-4 mainstream songs) and doesnt have too much southern about it (esp production wise)

lol, at first i figured that, but i just wasn't sure, i was dumb, and took him seriously. :-[

Yeah, I wont take that list seriously. :grumpy: @ Pac being #87. I would like to see who choose these albums. They left out some great albums, including 50's "GRODT".
-
This list is hella fucked up. but then, we don't have to go by a list, we know what the classics are and thats what matters.
-
this list is completely shit... Dr not even top 50 :-X, and pac at 80 summin? the fuck? kanye at 4? cyaaaaaaa
-

LMAO @ THIS NIGGA FINDING SOME GARBAGE ASS LIST THAT CANT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND BUSTING A NUT OVER IT AS IF IT PROVES SOMETHING.
NIGGA THEY GOT KANYE WEST COLLEGE DROPOUT ABOVE ANY 2PAC, BIGGIE, ETC ALBUMS LOL. THEY GOT THAT SHIT ABOVE ILLMATIC. THIS SHIT IS GARBAGE.
T.I. IS WACK AND EVEN 95 IS WAY TOO FUCKING HIGH FOR THAT ALBUM.

Some of the listing of the albums are terrible but u gotta understand they forget about the older classics as time goes on such as Illmatic, Chronic etc. - not makin an excuse for them, but thats what happened (and thats why they listed "graduation" so high)
Trap Muzik earned its way onto that list is all im saying and im just glad to see it get the love.
-
NIGGA ARE YOU STUPID? STOP MAKING FUCKIN EXCUSES. LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS: "The list didn’t just rely on contemporary hip-hop albums."
THEY HAD CHRONIC N ALL EYEZ ON ME N ILLMATIC N ALL THAT SHIT ON THERE BUT THEY RANKED EM LOWER THAN ALBUMS THAT DIDNT DESERVE TO BE HIGHER. THAT JUST SHOWS THAT THIS LIST HAS NO FUCKIN CREDIBILITY WHICH THEN EXPLAINS WHY T.I.'S CRAP MUZIK IS EVEN ON THE LIST
-
^have u ever heard that TI album or just his other albums or random songs?

HONESTLY, I'VE LISTENED TO EVERY T.I. ALBUM
HE'S AVERAGE AT BEST AND NONE OF HIS ALBUMS HAVE IMPRESSED OR ARE SPECIAL IN ANY WAY. THEY'RE EITHER WACK OR AVERAGE. TRAP MUZIK IS A LIL ABOVE AVERAGE BUT TO CALL THAT SHIT A CLASSIC IS BLASPHEMY.
-
if ti wasnt as big as he is right now it wouldnt be on that list.
LMFAO@college dropout being top 5. This is why we dont need Entertainment Weekly telling people about hip hop.

this list is a complete joke
