Hard Knock Life really came out of nowhere!! Shocking!! But great list overall (despite a few screw ups). No **** Tha Police I knew I shoulda voted for that song.
30 GREATEST R&B ALBUMS OF THE LAST 30 YEARS
COMING TOMORROW!
So I need Voodoo, Velvet Rope, Control, janet., Rhythm Nation, Aaliyah, Kaleidoscope, Tasty, Mama's Gun, Miseducation, Butterfly, Daydream, Emancipation of Mimi, another Mariah album, Toni Braxton, Secrets, The Heat, Brown Sugar, CrazySexyCool or Fanmail, Confessions, and The Preacher's Wife ALL in attendance. Y'all can have the other 9 slots tbh.
"Lose Yourself," Eminem's highest placing song on this countdown is from the soundtrack to 8 Mile. The song is one of the most popular Hip-Hop tracks of all time, has had countless commercial success, and is a defining song for the Noughties.

Dhjdjdsjjkd You'll have a heart attack when you see the countdown procedures.
I hope it's not 1 album per artist. Or that I can't vote for at least 10. I will NOT be able to deal.
Oh hell no.
Sneek peak: You get 100 points. You may give any album up to 50 points and at least 5 points. You must use all of your points.
That means you're looking at a maximum of 20 albums that you would have to give the same amount of points. I suggest you not put urself in that position. You have to write a paragraph on the album OR ALBUMS to which you give the most points. It takes a lot of thought.

"Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)" was Jay-Z's first taste of real commercial success. The song peaked in the top 20 in America, however peaked top 10 in many other countries, including #2 in the UK. The song samples the Broadway musical, Annie.
Standout Lyrics:
This is surprising! Great song. Not his best to most but I think this is one of those Jay-Z songs I will absolutely jam to everytime. (I prefer it to 99 Problems)

"California Love" by 2Pac and Dr. Dre (okay so I lied about it being his only song ). It was originally intended to be part of a (scrapped) Dr. Dre album, but ended up being on All Eyez on Me. The single peaked at #1 for two weeks, is an anthem, and 2Pac's most successful song.
Standout Lyrics:
Wait. Just checked my list how the hell didn't this not get a spot in my top 20 I think I prefered Me Against the World to this. I'm happy for Tupac. I will always be a big fan of him.

Overall, good list madonnas and you did a great job in doing the rate
