In revisiting some of these albums the last week I've definitely cooled on my rating of Stillmatic, it's an album of strong highs but much weaker lows. Going in I figured I'd give it an 8 but that's been lowered to a 7.

God's Son I still need to get to, but I've had that at a 7/10 and don't expect to change it. A mix of my favorites from Stillmatic, The Lost Tapes and God's Son would yield a hell of an album though.
