Jhey · 07-08-2007, 04:09 PM

I brought Awfully Deep wen it come out, and I was kinda disapointed with it, his other shit was betta, it was jus abit weird and spacey

Rue_Kin · 07-08-2007, 04:29 PM

who the hell are all dese ppl?

.Verbal Arts. · 07-08-2007, 05:44 PM

Thas fucked up

Millenium Metaphors should be in top 10 easily, nd its not even in ther top 50

& i never saw much special in gansgter chronicle

El Scorpio · 07-11-2007, 08:52 PM

I've got 3 of those albums and hardly heard of any of 'em anyway...I like Blak Twang's music too

Hip Hop Police · 07-11-2007, 11:47 PM

So why bother posting on here then eh??

I listened to gansgter chronicle last night....it's alright.....not what i would class as the best Uk of all time mind you.

jusmyopinion · 07-12-2007, 06:21 AM

"13. Klashnekoff - Lionheart: Tussle With The Beast"

ya crazy man, this album is shnide as....... an its well to new to be put at no. 13. but any wayz..

HAVE YA PUT THEM IN SOME ORDER HER COZ YA GOT BLACK TWANG-KIK OFF AT 44, AN I KNOW THATS A AIGHT ALBUM!

NICE ONE FOR HOOKIN US UP WITH THE ALBUM NAMES.
I AINT KNOWN ABOUT ALOT OV THESE,

Better Than You · 07-12-2007, 07:39 AM

^ Klash's album was dope...i would of had 'The Sagas Of' in the list ahead of 'Lionheart' though...and yeah the list is in order and was compiled by Hip Hop Connection Magazine

as for 'Gangster Chronicle'...the album is 17 years old...if your listening to it for the first time now then your hardly going to appreciate it the same as older heads, but i guess thats where there is always going to be problems with lists like this, are albums getting props for the actual quality of the music or because they laid the foundations for the hip hop scene in the uk

and Phi Life Cypher should definitely be in the list somewhere, good shout about Millenium Metaphors

Beefkilla · 07-12-2007, 01:40 PM

Don't know bout some of em'
Surprised Boy in da corner didn't make top 10

Rascit · 07-12-2007, 06:15 PM

havent heard that many of them

G-Unit_HMFC · 07-12-2007, 06:58 PM

I hope the only reason Kano isn't in there is because they are classing him as grime.

n123b · 07-12-2007, 07:29 PM

^^lol well why would Dizzee be there?? But your right tho he should be there..as should Da 2nd Phaze...

Y0UNG PR0FIT · 07-13-2007, 03:07 AM

Nah mate, don't get me wrong.....the album is good,but you can listen to old school US stuff and that stuff is still good to this day. I just don't think it's the best of the UK crop......but credit has to go out to those that paved the way for Hip Hop for UK artists

.Krysis. · 07-13-2007, 09:41 AM

Why is Dizzee even there... & The Brotherhood - Elementalz should be nearing or in the top 10...
