LiveAbout (USA) - The 100 Best Hip-Hop Albums of the 2000s (2020)

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

Ranked by year. I'm going to be posting a bunch of lists from LiveAbout and uDiscover Music, some of which I feel more or less certain about in terms of eligibility, but this one I feel should probably get a pass (the first lists I post from these sites are ones I'm pretty confident about) because he's an acclaimed hip-hop writer and journalist who's been published in a lot of places.
