    The rest of the staff and I put together a list of the 25 most essential albums of the decade that you can read here. This is the topic where you can talk s--- about our list and b---- about why TPAB isn't 10/10 number one already. But on the real, we made this list to open up the conversation, and we'd love to see you comment on and critique our's, as well as post your own lists.

    Thanks to @Hasman, @Blaza, @Narsh, @captain awesome, @Skippy, @helpmefam, @CharlieWork, and @Slyk for their contributions/help deliberating (sorry if I missed anyone).

    Where is MOTM2? Section 80 I think should be Top 5. Great article though & @Narsh must be delighted getting Tha Tour in there as its a great mixtape. Also the way its layed out is great.

    Yeah I saw Cudi was mentioned :khaled2:. But I'm disapointed he wasn't included. But i'm sure MOTM1 would have if it was eligible.

    If you f--- with Yeezus you'd probably like it. Give it a few listens to grow on you at first it sounds like there's too much going on but once you absorb everything its great
