God bless Preme for recognizing Havoc's album. That was better than Prodigy's album.
Return Of The Mac - 4.0 Mics
The Kush - 4.0-4.5 Mics
Alchemist is a great producer, but I like Havoc's beats better (they have a darker feeling).

I guess his list is accurate...But I don't think Big Doe rehab was that great... I was feeling WC & Scarface more than that...
Wheres Lupe Fiasco's The Cool? & Blu &Exile? lol... Or thw Wu?
Well I haven't heard like half or those albums on the list... Cool list though...

With no 8 Diagrams, this list has no credibility to me.
