    Yeah that Dre verse was not great but still a cool song.. Plus this album also has the best Ross x Nas collab of all time

    Trilla is an interesting choice. Elaborate? What do you like about it?

    Its kinda easy to say; great production because that goes for most of his albums. Here Justice League really did a great job though, I love their style.

    I haven't listened to it in a while (not an album guy in general tbh) but;

    - Even though the sequels are cool, the OG maybach music is incredible. Both Ross and Jay k--- it over a smooth beat.
    - Luxury Tax w Weezy & Jeezy slaps same as This Is The Life & The Boss
    - I'm Only Human & Here I Am, aside from them being sonically amazing, I like it when he shows a more serious side, balanced w his 'Boss' image.
    - idc he's a scumbag, that R Kelly collab (Speedin) is f---ing amazing

    So yeah its more a sum of its parts, the fact that it has some of my favorite songs and it barely has songs I skip compared to most of his other albums.

    Week 1 was good. A lot of people were saying Teflon Don was Ross definitive best and even though it did end up winning, the results were very scattered and closer than you’d think.
    Week 2 has begun. This time? Pusha T solos. Another good place to start because, much like Ross, they’re all pretty good albums but everyone has their favourite. Let’s start talking s--- folks

    MNIMN I tend to revisit more, even though I believe Daytona to be the superior album.

    Daytona never hit for me, don’t know what it is but I just don’t care about it. Maybe it would change if I gave it another listen but I just don’t feel like doing that.
    As a matter of fact, none of those Wyoming albums are enjoyable. KSG is the most overrated album of the 2010s

    I added Wrath of Caine and Fear of God II to the poll cuz those are such big essentials imo and his solo discography is pretty small.

    Daytona > Wrath of Caine > MNIMN > Fear of God II > King Push

    Easily Daytona for me. His other projects got some 10/10 individual songs, but Daytona the only one I’m playing all the way through.

    DAYTONA is one of my favorite albums of all time so I'm gonna go with it. MNIMN has some good songs, but I forgot how most of king push sounded like

    Daytona is the clear winner but I've always thought Darkest Before Dawn is massively underrated and I still find myself returning to it often. I remember it dropped right towards the end of the year and was overshadowed by some other huge 2015 albums but Push was on top form, I honestly think I prefer it to everything else he's put out solo (barring Daytona obviously). The title of it is perfect, it feels like a warm up or a precursor to something huge and great, which - looking back now - it was.

    Man I’m gonna have to listen to Daytona again because I must be missing something. Everyone here has such high praise for it. Maybe I was just disappointed with the Wyoming albums I was bitter. I’ll listen tonight

    DAYTONA the best & most consistent playthrough no doubt, but it doesn’t have his highest highs, so I’m going for My Name is My Name.
