*With production by Danger Mouse and contributions by MF DOOM & De La Soul, I'd say this is a proper hip hop-ish album. Worthy of placement on this list. (Plus I played it at least 40 times - no exaggeration!)
**Even though it's reggae, I consider this a hip hop album as well.
Graduation >>>>>
ReplyDeleteGraduation!?!?
ReplyDeleteAgreed on the Damien Marley rationale. When him and Nas ripped "Road to Zion" @ Rock the Bells that was one of the dopest concert experiences ever. Hyped for Distant Relatives btw.
