I think a lot people might argue for God Loves Ugly but YCIHMFWH is the better album, IMO. And I prefer The Undisputed Truth is the better album from Brother Ali but I get preferring Shadows on the Sun.

A Different Mirror definitely deserves to be mentioned with the best albums made by any Twin Cities rappers. It's excellent and terribly underrated.

I think Cecil Otter's Rebel Yellow deserves to be mentioned too, I love that album, front to back. Doomtree's self-titled album as well.
