I'm not saying Yeezy should be disqualified for Graduation, I enjoy half of it a great deal (Good Morning, Stronger, I Wonder, Good Life, Can't Tell Me Nothing, Flashing Lights, and The Glory in particular is spectacular) and the other half isn't terrible besides Drunk N Hot Girls but I strongly disagree with that and…

I'd actually argue for Word of Mouf being a bit better, it's easily Ludacris best album and only real worthwhile one. Saturday (Ooh! Ooh!) is an unstoppable jam, plus some other nice tracks and nothing reprehensibly bad except for maybe the Howhere skit.

def not Run-DMC, Back From Hell was pretty weak.

Bulletproof Wallets is decent but doesn't pass the test, Big Doe Rehab isn't that great and neither is Ghostdini

Licensed to Ill initially turned me off the Beastie Boys for a long time but coming back to it after listening to the rest I think it's probably my favorite album of theirs.

I'd argue for OutKast's Southernplaya, ATLiens, Aquemini trilogy, although Tribe's is strong as well. Other good ones;

I don't know they've got a real strong 4 album stretch [Mothership Connection to Motor Booty Affair] but I don't feel like Chocolate City or Gloryhallastoopid are up to the task.

Nah, The Mouse and the Mask may not be like super super great, but I can't think of a weak song on it. Hella consistent.

Yeah all of the stuff released under RZA's Five Year Plan was excellent [Enter the Wu-Tang, Tical, Return to the 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Ironman, Wu-Tang Forever]

Graduation and 808s count for Yeezy but OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is disqualified? Bullshit. Both sides of that album have jams for days.

MC Tiny Helpless Bird I am so jealous of your name right now.

10 songs is really short for a hip-hop album most of the time

Asher can be passable sometimes but his album was so fucking awful I'd excuse people for thinking he was the worst.

Yeah, but Biggie's ghost demanded it be cut from the final film.

2Pac might not have hated the east, hype-creating beef notwithstanding. But you clearly do, it's Inspectah not Inspector.

2pac can't fuck with De La, it was a diss out of jealousy.

Yeah, he seems like a douche but he's a douche on the side of angels.

Shia LaBeouf is George Clooney minus the wherewithal and inner serenity obviously.

How dare Ebert take the opportunity of somebody famous dying while doing something incredibly reckless and morally reprehensible to remind people not to drive drunk/crazy fast.

Sympathy promotion.
