The fact Rolling Stone put Invasion of Privacy above Illmatic and Madvillainy is ridiculous.

Cardi B over Nas, Dre, MF DOOM, Kendrick (execpt for TPAB) is nothing other than disrespectful to people that has shaped the genre as we know it, and shows a clear lack of understanding of the culture around hip hop. There is no excuse to even have her on the list if you're leaving out Lupe Fiasco.

I see now. Melon wasn’t giving MBDTF a 6 out of 10, he was saying it’s the 6th best hip hop record of all time, and this list proves it

Can we talk about how Illmatic and Marshall Mathers LP are ranked lower than a Cardi B album

Wow Rolling Stones released 200 rap albums too huh. Truly the greatest band of all time.

This list has been perfectly crafted to generate as much rage as possible

illmatic is a top 10 album by basically every metric imaginable. It's my number 1, but it at least HAS to be top 10. Was shocked when I saw its placement.

The fact that MBDTF was conveniently at 6th place when Anthony Fantano gave the album a 6/10 makes me feel like they knew what they were doing.

This list was specially engineered to incite rage and violence. The way in which they effortlessly flow between a very solid pick to the most outrageous opinion on a record you have ever heard is nothing short of masterful.

I had a feeling that "Total Xanarchy" would be the greatest rap album of all time

They definitely made this list exactly for people like you to react to and bring traffic to the site. It's gotta be shitty on purpose. There's no way anyone would think that Illmatic is worse than Invasion of Privacy. When I first listened to Illmatic I was in awe at how good the beats and lyrics were. When I heard Invasion of Privacy I felt nothing

glad to see All the Right Reasons by Nickelback make this list. Chad is such an underrated rapper

Illmatic at 24 is fucking ridiculous. Easily a top 5 record at bare minimum. Many people consider it the greatest rap album of all time, myself included. A lot of people have said this already, but Cardi B above Illmatic is so unbelievably ludicrous that you instantly lose all credibility.

Can we all get Fantano to make his own 200 favorite albums list. That would be legendary, and I feel even if I didn't agree with some, everything would have an argument for its placement.

Having Lil Kim's "Hardcore" over "Illmatic" "All Eyez on Me", "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "It's Dark and Hell is Hot" is absurd. To me those four should be at our near the top 5 with BIG and Jay-Z while "Hardcore" should be somewhere in the mid 100s.

i’d actually wanna see fantano make his own top 200 or even 500 list

Whole Lotta Red was here and Fantano didn’t mention it, which proves that he does believe it’s a top 200 album and therefore believes it to be a great album. Thanks for the redux of your redux review Anthony!

Some middle aged white men sat in a room together and said “you know, Nas is cool, but Carbi B is where it’s at!” and then they high fived each other.

So ‘Miseducation of Lauren Hill’ was the highest placing Hip Hop album on their “Greatest Albums of all time” list but was somehow only 10th in the actual “rap album list”???

10:22 I'm so happy tat you mentioned Del the funky Homosapien, been re-visiting his music this year and is still amazing as always

So glad that Rolling Stone has come to confirm all of our opinions that Invasion of Privacy is better than Good Kid Maad City

They didn't put Viper's undisputed record "You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack" on this list, which means it's a bogus list.

Illmatic is the MJ of hip hop albums Putting it any lower than 3 is a red flag

i see DEL every time he comes anywhere close to Toronto. Always an amazing show. and Atmosphere, also amazing live. LOVE your videos btw. EXCELLENT format. very enticing. Please keep up the amazing work.

I was a little shocked to see John Cena's " You Can't See Me " above every Death Grips record, but I feel it's one of the few reasonable choices Rolling Stone has made lately.

i was expecting "the heist" by Macklemore to be 1#

Cardi B being 16 is Egregious and I really liked that album, although should've never beaten Astroworld for the Grammy.

I don't know much about hiphop but your recommendations are spot on, time to make your own list

I’m surprised Anthony didn’t mention how insane it is they ranked Future and Cardi B ahead of Outkast’s Aquemini

According to this and the new 500 greatest albums list, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is somehow both the tenth best hip-hop album and the tenth best overall album of all time.

They absolutely had a very solid list as a baseline and just gave it to someone to attempt to sprinkle in recent albums

Graduation- kanye west The massacre- 50 cent Rodeo and Birds in the trap- Travis scott Kids see ghosts- Kids see ghosts Man on the moon 2- kid Cudi Thank me later- drake All of these albums deserve a spot on this list

We're playing into their hands. They have to be so trash on purpose to generate controversy and discussion based upon their platform. The more we talk about it, the more they win, they suck, don't bother.

the audacity of Rolling Stone to put My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as #6/10 in the Top 10

@fantano Ay Anthony I wanted to point out the fact at 2:10 that CARE FOR ME is a project for therapy than anything else and really shows some truth of the matter that even albums on a top 200 of all time can leave audiences out.

Aging Gen Xer here. Lots of missing 90s rap. De La Soul, Digable Planets, Jungle Brothers, Ultramagnetic MC's, Pete Rock & CL Smooth's Mecca & the Soul Brother

They may have had their misplacements, but at least even Rolling Stone recognized the sheer brilliance and humanity displayed by Cal Chuchesta's, "The New CALasic". I agree, and think it is the #1 album of all time.

Seeing Bladee's Crest at nummber 1 really made me start to respect rolling stone again. Ecco2k did get finessed a bit by only being placed at number 5 with the record E.

Brooo finally someone showing love Onyx' All We Got Iz Us album which imo is a classic. I can see how in 1995 it could've gotten overlooked with all the other Classic releases from NY alone but still. Most Def has to be one of the hardest, darkest and grimiest song ever created. The whole record is dark and deranged, guaranteed to f your day up. Da Shining, Only Built, Infamous, Doe Or Die and liquid Swords and so many more banging albuns dropped that year.

didn’t expect you to agree with total xanarchy at number one, but great video!

This list has to be satire. There is no way a group of individuals came together and unironically brain stormed to come up with this.

Illmatic definitely needs to be top 10, GKMC definitely clears invasion of privacy (and some of Mac Miller’s stuff does too), Chronic, Life After Death, & a few others need to be higher

i remember going through their top 100 metal albums of all time list on a show i do and it was also rough

: 10.Kanye West-Graduation 9.Gnarls Barkley-St. Elsewhere 8.Public Enemy-Yo! Bumrush the Show 7.Run-D.M.C.-Run-D.M.C. 6.The Streets-A Grand Don't Come for Free 5.A Tribe Called Quest-We Got It from Here...Thank You 4 Your Service 4.Beastie Boys-Check Your Head 3.Dizzee Rascal-Boy in da Corner 2.M.I.A.-Arular 1.Beastie Boys-Ill Communication

Glad to see Viper filling all 200 slots. Man has such an incredible and vast discography. Truly da 🐐no 🧢.

Ah yes, “Ho, Why is You Here” deserves a spot on the top 200 over “808s and Heartbreak”, an album that is responsible for the sound of over a quarter of the records on this list.

8:29 He’s saying No as many times Chance does in his intro for Acid Rain. What a homage.

Ready to die is my #1. And I agree 100% Flockaveli is a trap record that deserves so much more love it's insane s/o Waka

no CLB, clearly rigged.

cant believe rolling stone also gave mbdtf a 6 smh too perfect

Its time you do your top 100 Rap Albums! Please do it!

Maybe it's just my time period, but I find the fact that The Marshall Mathers LP, Graduation, The Eminem Show, Get Rich or Die Tryin', The Lost Boy, Kingdom Come, The College Dropout, and From a Birds Eye View aren't even on this list is criminal.

He called MBDTF “great” therefore it is now a 10!

I think illmatic is undeniably, and objectively at least a top 5 rap album EVER. There’s no way it should be so low…

You should do a top 100 or 50 rap albums!

Invasion of privacy over Good Kid Maad City, Illmatic, The Chronic, Graduation, Mad Villainy, Aquemini, and TMMLP is criminal

Picking divine feminine out of all of mac's albums tells me everything I need to know about this list

I didn’t know The Rolling Stones had 200+ albums.

I finally understood what Fantano was saying when I saw DS2 by Future ranked above both Illmatic and All Eyez on Me.

The amount of records placed before Illmatic and MMLP is literally fucking insane.

The fact MBDTF is #6, This was really targeted for Melon.

Would like to know their selection process. Invasion of Privacy above Illmatic feels like one of those things that would make any music magazine editor wince at the idea of publishing, but the process had already spoken.

Saba care for me was an album people said was so amazing and underrated that year, but now I don’t think I’ve heard ONE person bring it up besides now or say it was one of the best albums of the decade or whatever.

2001 definitely deserved it's spot. If only because you can listen to the whole thing from beginning to end multiple times.

Happy you said it Anthony. "No Aesop Rock?" I agree. Labor Days has been top 10 for me for a decade now. Nobody was spitting quite like Aes back in the 90s.

How is any Cardi B album higher than Illmatic?

5:47 I was literally just thinking of this one rap song (I think from Ka) I heard with no drums at all lol

My top 11, FWIW: 1. Public Enemy: Yo! Bum Rush The Show 2. Mobb Deep: The Infamous 3. De La Soul: 3 feet high and rising 4. Snoop Dogg: Doggystyle 5. MF DOOM: Doomsday 6. Company Flow: Funcrusher Plus 7. Jedi Mind Tricks: Violent By Design 8. Danny Brown: The Hybrid 9. Run DMC: Raising Hell 10. Ugly Duckling: Taste The Secret 11. Biggie: Ready To Die

So glad they put Limp Bizkit's Significant Other at the top, truly deserving of the number 1 spot and gets overlooked so much

They put “Live.Love.A$AP” with the “Long.Live.A$AP” cover on there. That’s what I need to know

the flo milli album name is so ironic

3:45 Them putting Lil Xan’s Total Xanarchy this low is absolutely criminal

Anthony I think I speak for your entire fanbase when I say we would much rather see your top 200 rap albums big dawg!

Illmatic not being top 5 is a fucking disgrace and immediately disqualifies the list.

The fact that a Megan Thee Stallion album and Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday is over Kanye & Jay Z's Niggas in Paris on this list can already incite rage like an exploding volcano

Hear me out: 36 Chambers in the number 1 hip hop album of all time….. of all the things Wu tang brought to the culture, that album set the bar so high. You’ve got some of the best lyrics, skits that actually add to the content of the album, creativity 10/10, uniqueness 10/10, originality 10/10. the beats??? Started their own sub genre in hip hop. Led to many artists getting their open hype, led to many Killa Bees getting their own… it was raw, it was rugged, it was a biography of life in the ghetto in the US Dystopia. It was has been sampled more times then almost any other hip hop album…. Next point: CREAM! Absolutely genius. Which leads me to the next point, The Genius. God Zig-Zag-Zig Allah. He is the master of the craft. Then you got Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, the RZA: Master MC and Master Producer. Produced HUNDREDS of tracks,,,,,,,,, You got all that coming from one single Album to put a crew on the map…. 36 Chambers. There is literally an entire Wu Tang sub culture in the world. You can go to any country, you can sport a Wu Tang Symbol, and eventually someone will give you a shout out…. 36 Chambers did so much more for the people on that album then literally any other album in hip hop. . Also, I didn’t see ILLmatic, which is probably my number 2. But you gotta include Del, Cappadonna,,,, I’m very disappointed The Pillage wasn’t on that list. No Brand Nubian, I didn’t hear of Jeru,,,, was there any KRS ONE????! This list seems very incomplete to me 🤣

So happy to see WLR at that number 1 spot. They really did get things right for once!

The perfect 2 am video

7:24 bro im trying my best to hold myself back

I respect anthony way more now for recognizing Capone N Noreaga as the greats that they are . Reunion is another good album by them

Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous is criminally underrated, especially in this list.

no Lupe Fiasco is an absolute crime

Great Video

Totally agree this list is off…really off. You should make a top 25 list and share it. I’m a huge Jay-Z fan and somewhat of a Nas fan. You mentioned 4:44, but Reasonable Doubt needs to be there. Nas has 2 or 3 that should be on the list, obviously with Illmatic leading the way.

What’s crazy is that the coup designed that cover in June 2001 and had to postpone the release until November to design a new one after 9/11

The list is basically a shit post intended to stir controversy and clicks. I know no one expects much from Rolling Stone these days, but it still shows a pretty incredible level of contempt for their audience. Unless the list is genuine, which might even be worse.

This list makes Hip Hop Universe's one look perfect 😭😭😭

I know man. I was also looking for Joaquin Phoenix to be on here for the I’m Still Here soundtrack. Seems like they didn’t really put soundtracks up for consideration.

No Aesop Rock, Denzel Curry or Injury Reserve is such a huge series of misses. Cardi B above TPAB is a tragedy edit: I goofed, I meant above GKMC

Props to them for basically randomising the order of this list whole 200 until the top 10. They knew how get people MAD with this batshit order

"Ho why is you here?" That's a good question?

Get rich or die trying, Eminem show, marshal lathers LP, good kid mad city Classic albums

"Definetly a record. Would I have placed it higher; probably." Is my favourite review that Anthony has ever given to a record.

GOATED list. Can’t believe Tupac came back just to give this list his seal of approval

Some of my thoughts: 1. Any album on the list>Invasion Of Privacy 2. Kendrick Lamar's untitled unmastered. > any "Lil" rapper's album (except Lil Wayne) 3. Not Having The Eminem Show on the list is disrespectful asf 4. I don't know what people adore in Future's 'DS2'. I listened to it, and I felt nothing. Good music makes me vibe my head, and this albums just didn't

Why you don't make one !? We all will look forward to it!!

One of the reasons I love Anthony is he will actualize my hatred of Rolling Stones lists in video form

Someone will eventually make a list we can all SILENTLY disagree on but respect and understand

The Illmatic placement is criminal. Probably the most no-brainer top 10 pick on the entire list.

Acid rap would be around my 36 slot too imma be honest (from Chicago and like psychedelics) but outside that bias, the flow, instrumentals, and uniqueness is top tier
