... I feel like my favorite artists would've been over-represented and really, when I think about it, I listen to for example Resurrection, ODIAMS, LWFC, and Be very often and love them generally because Common is my all time favorite MC. So I decided to just go with which album of his I revisit the most to represent him on this list.

I realize that may skew the results to some degree (assuming people take part in this poll) but I did that so that I didn't leave out any albums and artists I listen to probably just as often as Common but who have just one album I listen to over and over again as opposed to 3-4 like I do with Common, De La, Nas, OutKast, and a few others.

All that said I realize that Phonte shows up on this list 3x, and Mos and Kweli twice lol but technically the albums are by different groups or "artists"/monikers so ...
