This list is a continuation of my Top 50 Hip Hop LP's of the decade list that I submitted to my boy Jeff Weiss this past Summer including my honorable mentions from said list plus my favorites from the past few years (2005-2009) added in. These 100 selected projects represent many but nowhere near all of my favorite albums of the past decade as well as the ones I feel were the most influential. These albums all represent classic material to me.
A lot of you may be wondering where certain other albums are, to that I say look at the album covers displayed on my blog as well as my Top 50 favorite instrumental projects which should better or more accurately round out my personal favorite releases of the past decade. The 00's weren't the 90's but I'll be damned if anyone tell me that they were devoid of any influential or classic Hip Hop. Damn that! © Martin Lawrence
Without any further ado (and no alphabetical order or year of release for each selection because, let's face it, transcribing sucks balls & I'm not getting paid for this. LOL), here is my list.
