    Mythical album 11: Sean Price & Ill Bill

  • Chad says:

    @ myth, really dude? 2001 overrated? c’mon, you must be backed up and crabby to say something like that.

  • JustMarv says:

    You forgot to add madvilliany 2 to the mythical list.

  • The Man The myth says:

    Hell yeah I’m crabby, but yeah 2001 is madd overrated. Sorry man, I grew up on the funk, and Above The Law’s Legends was released 4 years earlier than 2001, and was much better. Lyrically 2001 is only saved by Eminem, the rest of the mc’s on it made me fall asleep. It had some hot beats, but too much filler and was really boring for me. Dre in his prime is classic, 1987-1995. Dre after that, alot of hits and more misses. Dre now, a freaking joke.

    Andre Young=the Berry Gordy of hip hop. Can’t nothing be done bout that. Even if cats never heard of Detox, his legacy would be undeniable.
