I like my intelligent, conscious hip-hop, I like my gangsta shit, I even like some of the party shit too. It's all dope. I'm not overly opinionated, saying that I only like some groups, and I'm not harsh with ratings.

-----------------My Rating System-----------------

5/5 - Some of these are records that I heard when I started listening to hip-hop, some are just fucking incredible. But there's always something about these that gets my adrenaline going.

4.5/5 - Pretty much the same, the only difference is they don't have that LITTLE SPECIAL THING that makes them bumped up by .5.

4/5 - Excellent records. Most of my records that I like are this rating because there's just so much good hip-hop. Still can be considered classic, just not as perfectly incredible as the top two mentioned. Still, who cares?

3.5/5 - Pretty dope. I like this, I can enjoy it, and there are great aspects of it. Usually a couple problems that keep it from being a 4+, but still great ones.

3/5 - I still consider decent meaning good. Just with many flaws. I can still recommend some of these records, as many of them have redeeming values to them.

2.5/5 - Usually some good tracks, but overall the album is hard to listen to. These records can be recommended for the good tracks, but not for the whole listen.

2/5 - Either boring, or just not that great. Couple joints, but nothing great.

1.5/5 - Really not good. Not the worst, but closer to it.

1/5 - I don't really see the difference between this and 0.5

0.5/5 - Absolute worst. I consider these records painful to listen to. Atleast some 1/5 records can be entertaining because they're so bad that you can laugh at them. These I can't even like at all. Horrendous experiences.
