Last year we voted on our favorite hip hop albums of all time. 27 Lessonheads participated and the list resulted in a pretty good mix of universal classics and Lesson favorites. However, with the exception of three 2000 releases, the top 25 was all 80s and 90s albums.

The year I’ll be bringing this back, only this time lets focus on 2000s albums (the 2000-2009 decade). Clearly the three albums that were featured in the top 25 of all time (Like Water for Chocolate, Train of Thought, Fantastic, Vol. 2) will finish near the top of the list, but what else are the definitive great 2000s hip hop albums according to The Lesson?

Post up to 25 of your favorite hip hop albums (key word: favorite, not best) of the 2000-2009 decade, starting with your favorite/#1 and going down.

1. Favorite album (please use Artist - Title format, ex: Common - Like Water For Chocolate)
2. Second favorite
3. 3rd favorite

25. 25th favorite

I'll log all the responses and count the votes, with points being distributed on a weighted basis.

1. If you don't want to submit 25 albums, submit however many you want (up to 25) and they will still count. Anything greater than 25 won't be counted.
2. If you don't include #'s with your rankings, I'm assuming the top album is your #1 and so on unless otherwise noted.
3. After this post is about a month old and seems to have died down (no new entries), I'll close out voting and post the results in a new thread.
