They snubbed Eminem

[NotFinished]

Thank Me Later? Really?

[King Lance]

The list is so annoying to go through..I hate how they force you to go through all the artists.

don't search for Eminem, they snubbed him lol

[Blu]

Thank Me Later instead of fucking SSLP?

[TRSL]

The list is so annoying to go through..I hate how they force you to go through all the artists.

don't search for Eminem, they snubbed him lol

Well, Infinite is Em's first album...

[HeySamantha]

lol he's Artist Of The Decade with Diamond albums and he's not on the list? Seems legit...

[Solace]

That isn't his debut dumb nigger

[Solace]

Seriously though, what goes through the minds of whoever creates the layouts for RS and Complex articles like these? I doubt there's a single person on earth who thinks going through the list one by one by clicking is better than just displaying them nicely in a proper list.

86. Kendrick Lamar - Goog Kid Maad City

Goog, might want to fix that.

Spelling Mistake


So many albums should have been on the list tbh

confessions of fire
doggystyle
the documentary
the slim shady lp
it's dark and hell is hot
food and liquor

MJ ? Tupac ?
...

[Rattle1]

It's a list about the greatest debut albums and not the best selling albums.

[HeySamantha]

Don't think she meant it like that dude, she was just stating a fact thats all.

Exactly. SSLP should have been on there, hands down.

[Rattle1]

Well maybe, Idk.

If Marshall Mathers LP was his first album, Eminem would have been on the list but I still think that Slim Shady LP doesn't "transcend" the genre.
With that said, I don't know what is Drake doing on the list, I don't want to act like a hater but if you ask me, Lady Gaga and Drake are the only artists who shouldn't be on this list lol

[King Lance]

In fact, I've just realized that a lot of albums on that list are from the 40's,50's and 60's

[King Lance]

They're best albums of all time has Pac and EM on it.

TMMLP and TES right ?

Preach my brotha!
