To me it's impossible to pick one.

At first I'd have a tough choice between Better Dayz, Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture, awesome Smif n Wessun and Boot Camp Clik albums but then too many other awesome ones come to my mind. I really liked the J.Wells & Kurupt album, the 8mile album, RZA's albums and many, many others that are not on top of my head right now.

Come to think of it I'd have problems saying which one is the best of 2009 while between 2000 and 2008 we had an unbelievable amount of awesome albums (especially in the earlier half of that decade).

 

[THEV1LL4N]

we even had dr. dre release 2001 lol.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

i wouldve thought "the big bang" by busta would have been a contender. that album had some nice production.

no ghostface albums?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

we even had dr. dre release 2001 lol.

That was released in 1999 right?

 

[Rahim]

Better Dayz

 

[THEV1LL4N]

That was released in 1999 right?

yes. i'd always wondered why he called it 2001.

i think it was because someone labelled their album "2000" and he went 'one further'.

or am i thinking of someone else??

Suge knight brought out a compilation called Chronic 2000.


Its good to see a lot of peeps saying Better days. I also love that album. The day it dropped was my grandads funeral, i left early to drive 30 miles to go get it, lol. I seem to remember at the time a lot of people dissin it, which sounds crazy now after the drivel that came after it, although some stuff on Pacs life was good.
