Hip Hop at finest for sure :lol:

Where’s Rudebox? 😂

Speakerboxxx / The Love Below appreciation post. :wub:

Would love them to do a top 50 list for the same time period, but just UK artists.

Didn't realise the Plan B album is up there with those heavyweights.

The top 3 is solid which is pleasing to see, however there is just too much stuff from the Black Eyed Peas in the top 5 sadly

 

 

Eminem easily dominant here - would have thought Kanye would have given him a bit more of a run for his money but perhaps just as well regarding what's happened to him. Loved that Streets album at the time.

Love The Streets album now still!
