What’s your hip hop album of the year for 2001??

Tough one. For me it’s between Tha Realness by Cormega, The Blueprint and Stillmatic.

Shoutout to J Live too he dropped a dope album that year.

 

[Don Dada]

Stillmatic is the best album in that year

Stillmatic over Blueprint.

This one just isn't fair b/c Nas, Jay, & DMX put out classic to solid projects than they did 2 yrs before.

In that year and my mind state
1. Blueprint
2. Stillmatic
3. Miss E. So Addictive

As of today, still the same
1. Blueprint
2. Stillmatic
3. Miss E. So Addictive

We should do a poll based on what albums get the most mentions.

 

[grYmes]

At the time and for years Blueprint to me was the best album of that year. I’m recent years tho Stillmatic barely edges it just based on Nas lyrically. It’s almost 1A-1B when it comes to them albums.

1st kiss until Blueprint dropped then Stillmatic. Ghostface was definitely in that mix. Might be my favorite ghost lp

 

[BlackRain]

The Blueprint
Dirty Money

Man that was a year with tough albums...


The Blueprint was the first JAY Z album I remember playing on repeat with my brother... The approach of the musical production was intriguing at that time...

Stillmatic was NaS against the world... Especially with the loss of his mom's ... And of course the comeback against the biggest rapper at the time

Welcome to Detroit... Of course the JayDee connects

The Wu joint.. The De La Soul joint


I think I went through every or almost every album in the OP

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

Daum 2001 was a great year... All those joints got classics...

Stillmatic might just edge out Blueprint... Nas was on one with that joint, came out swinging...

'Disposable Arts' one of my favourite albums too...

Out of that list I played the hell outta Fab's album too... Think its an overlooked album because so much heat dropped that year...
