RHH: Is this The Co_oL's top 100 East coast albums list?
Yes it is!
Since Perotta did his top 100 southern albums I figured I'd make this... I'm not including instrumental albums and in the case of collab albums, both of the artists involved must be based in the east. I won't order them either because that would literally take forever.
Considering it's is arguably the most prolific region in terms of releases, there is going to be more good albums left out so bear that in mind but feel free to give your feedback

I wasn't really feeling it so I edited my answer to include what i thought
-Things i think might've deserved recognition:
Body Of the Lifeforce - Afu-Ra
Fansatic Damage - El-P
Dah Shinin' Smif-N-Wessun
Uptown Saturday Night-Camp Lo
Hi-Teknology 2: The Chip - Hi-Tek
Doom - Mood
Black bastards - KMD
Livin' Proof - Group Home
I F*cking Hate Rappers - Pack FM
Sacrifce - Substantial
Criminal -Scientifik
Sticky Fingaz - Black Trash: Autobiography of Kirk Jones
Off the top of my head ^^^ not all of these i assume would make it but im just throwing diversity out there for an example
-Stuff im not feeling from that list:
Hells Winter - Cage
MM.. Food - MF Doom
God's Son - Nas
just naming a few from the same artist, i think you shouldve had an album limit
Source(s): great list though - 9 years ago
Good list and props for the effort and time....but no Hell On Earth by Mobb Deep? No Perseverance??
More to consider:
The Visualz Anthology, Dah Shinin', Black Trash, Mirror Music
- ?Lv 79 years ago
Dah Shinin
Internal Affairs
Phrenology
Tonedeff is from the South (Clipse is usually considered South and they're from Virginia)
Great job, though.

Wow dude, this looks great. I was listening to Movies for the Blind last night again and definitely appreciate it more.
Btw, I don't think anyone minds that it isn't in order. I know few people that would have the patience to make lists like these. Props to you guys!

Very nice list, thanks for posting. Props for including A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, Runaway Slave, and Marcberg.
BQ: That'd be nice. He does them for every year (top 100 West Coast albums of the year) but I've never seen him do a full one.
- AmberPLv 79 years ago
Good list, I think I would have added some different ones and took out some of the ones you have but for the most part I agree with these.
- ?Lv 69 years ago
You're f*cking amazing.... I'm looking at this list and I can't argue any decisions. I mean you put albums from the very beginning of hip-hop all the way to now-a-days hip-hop. There are about 10 albums on here that I have yet to listen to, and plan on doing so. Good work.
BQ: Possibly
- Anonymous9 years ago
I dig it.... I'd take out The Renaissance though & add in 2000 by Grand Puba. Or maybe Metopolis Gold by All City
- Anonymous9 years ago
Now I see why S. Perotta used the one album per artist rule. Great list, but there's hardly anything on here I haven't heard, so it's not really useful.
- ?Lv 69 years ago
this is a really dope list Good job! I feel edutainment is better than criminal minded though.
BQ: Oh :( I was thinking about doing a top 100 west coast gangsta rap albums...
