These were classics but they’re the least impactful amongst the albums listed.

 

[Goldie]

They’re the weakest of the 10

 

[Goldie]

Get Rich
Iron Man
It’s Dark & Hell Is Hot

These were classics but they’re the least impactful amongst the albums listed.

Maybe least influential, but get rich might be the most impactful album in the list.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Reasonable Doubt
Ironman
Liquid Swords

 

[O.G.]

Get Rich. Doesn't have a NYC vibe. Too pop sounding.

Liquid Swords. Showdowboxin and 4th Chamber sounds NY. But they are really the only two songs I listen to on that album.

Reasonable Doubt got NYC flows but has that pop soind just like GRODT.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Get Rich. Doesn't have a NYC vibe. Too pop sounding.

 

[O.G.]

Nigga singing on all the hooks. That's Pop.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Get Rich
Liquid Swords
Mobb Deep

 

[AllElite617]

GROTD
Infamous
Iron Man

 

[5th Letter]

Maybe least influential, but get rich might be the most impactful album in the list.

Expound

 

[Goldie]

Expound

For me, impact is correlated with performance. How much did it dominate the charts and streets. Grodt was everywhere.

Compared to influence, where an album like reasonable doubt didnt dominate the charts when it was out, but was later appreciated and modeled after.

 

[Don Dada]

Jay Z
Gza
Dmx

 

[DuperVillain]

GRODT, RD, then it's between Ironman & Wu. Leaning towards Ironman tho

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

The best selling solo album by a NYC rapper stays on the list

 

[IP360]

Ironman
Liquid Swords
Mobb Deep

Only I b/c I just a couple of songs on each of their albums.
