As was agaetis byrjun

Vaguely currently trying to organise this in my head at the moment. Surprised not to see that recent a tribe called quest album get a mention as it is an absolute nailed on for me. But then rap/hip hop is a genre I feel a bit out of my depth with - got to pimp but I’ve never really got mad into it.

Fuck I missed Blackstar. Oh well

Fucking brilliant album, although we used to think just slightly shades it for me.

Reading all the submissions in the thread there are quite clearly too many great albums this century, and I’ve missed off an absolute shitload from my list that were really important to me (like, why the hell didn’t I put Frengers on it, it was my absolute favourite album for about two years?) Matter of fact, I might amend to chuck that one in.
