9- Beastie Boys "Licensed To Ill

Picking on this for a second. They're my favourite band but it's amazing how such a jokey album got so big and it overshadowed mostly all their career. I belive "Pauls Boutique" should be there instead because along with De La Soul's "3 feet...." it changed sampling as an art.

But you dont have to agree :hilarious:

Hey I found a link with MTV's list of the 10 greatest albums of all time, for some of these mcs there it wasn't there best albums, and I thought "Illmatic" was ranked too high, "It Takes A Nation Of Millions" should switch places with that one, and there was no JJFP, KRS-ONE, or LL on the list, but at least they put "Paid In Full" at #1.

I think it's to hard for me to pick just one. I'd have to say that Paid In Full (Eric B. & Rakim), It Takes A Nation (Public Enemy), Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (Outkast), Doggystyle (Snoop Dogg), and The Great Adventures of Slick Rick (Slick Rick) would make up my personal top 5. Not necessarily in that order.
