Yet, makes a song like Big Pimpin'

So one song from a different album means Blueprint wasnt lyrical?

People outside of New York didn't know what rap was until this album came out


I was a white suburban teenager in Baton Rouge, Louisiana... and had Run DMC (s/t) & King of Rock... so that's a pretty strong claim. It was probably their biggest seller... but they were well known when this album broke...

Never said that. Saying he has made similar stuff to what he is basically saying ruined hip hop.

The Trifecta of 400 Degreez, Get It How U Live and Guerilla Warfare was as good as Cash Money ever got!
Notable additions: Chopper City, Carter I and II, I Got That Work, How U Luv That?, Tha Block is Hot)

....god damn was Cash Money on fire from 1996-2001!!!

I don't think bling-bling rap ruined hip-hop. Some of the Cash Money albums and Houston rap from that same time frame is some of my favorite music. I just enjoy that for different reasons than I enjoy an album like "The Blueprint." The Blueprint might be my favorite rap album all time, but I love Big Pimpin and songs like it as well. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

I see no mention of the 2 Live Crew album
As Nasty as They wanna Be.

That album had a huge influence

Not that all of these are top 20. Some are, some are honorable mention.

As good as "The Blueprint" is, it still comes second to Jay-Z's "Reasonable Doubt." In the same vein, RD has been far more important to the hip-hop scene both then and even down to the present.

I think Jay explains this for us on the Black album on the song Moment of Clarity

Dr. Dre -- The Chronic

Not the best hip hop album, but the most important.
