Another day, another “Best of” list.
Last week, Billboard Magazine compiled a list of the 100 best rap albums of all time. Staff members included only full-length projects released commercially (no EPs or mixtapes). The group then asked themselves a series of questions about each album, including:
- Did it break new ground?
- Do people still play it?
- How did it endure over time?
Of course, Billboard also looked at how each of the albums performed commercially. However, the publication admits that it’s a lesser consideration.
While we can’t give you the full list (you can click here for that), we do have the top 10 albums in the gallery below!
Hopefully this goes over better than the last list that Apple Music did.
CHECK OUT THE PLAYLIST BELOW!
