Aside from Nas's "Illmatic", Tribe's Low End Theory deserves a nod as one of the top rap albums of the 90s.

For best hip-hop album in the 90s, I'd rank'em as:<P>1. Nas - Illmatic<BR>2. Wu Tang - 36 Chambers<BR>3. PE - Fear of a Black Planet<BR>4. Notorious BIG - Ready to Die<BR>5. JayZ - Reasonable Doubt <BR>6. Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory<BR>7. DMX - Its Dark and Hell is Hot<BR>8. De La Soul - Is Dead<BR>9. 2Pac - All Eyez on Me<BR>10. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx<BR>

My Bloody Valentine â?? Loveless, hands (and heads) down.<P>huh, I thought that was late 80's, but it was 1991.  <P>Good one.  That is just a fabulous album.

Smooth "Mecca and The Soul Brother", and Black Moon "Enta Da Stage".

Are you sure? I saw Low and Luna last year at the Blackcat and I think they were two of the worst shows I saw.<BR>

He's like Tupac -- doesn't have a great voice, flow or sense of rhythm, but just overwhelms with charismatic menace.
