HipHopDX's Top 10 Albums of The '00s

I just read HipHopDX's top Ten Albums of the '00s (not a bad list actually) and I noticed three things:

1. There is no album that came out after 2005 on the list. This is a great example of how even mainstream online media outlets think recent hip hop albums have sucked. It's amazing that the second half of this decade doesn't even get one album mentioned. Actually, it's not amazing - it's correct. I commend HipHopDX for being honest in their opinion here.

2. Four out of the ten albums were released in the year 2000 (which obviously is closest to the '90s). Hmmm... Looks like hip hop has been on a decline for quite some time now.

3. Without doing any research or really giving this any thought, off the top of my head I would put Jedi Mind Tricks "Violent By Design," Raekwon "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II," and Killah Priest "The Offering" on this list instead of Outkast "Stankonia," Scarface "The Fix," and Jay-Z "The Black Album." I think "Stankonia" was a terrible album and the beginning of the end for Outkast. Scarface's "The Fix" is the most overrated rap album of all time and Jay-Z's "The Black Album" is amazing but it has some tracks on it that suck so bad that I simply can't call the album a classic. "Violent By Design" is top ten of all time. It needs to be on this list.
