I realize you probably have a limited knowledge of Hiphop (not an insult). Everything you have listed is a major or mainstream release except Tech and maybe Tyler. No “Section 80″ by Kendrick Lamar? “Cats and Dogs” by Evidence? Or what about the Phonte, Saigon, Raekwon, Pharoahe Monch, and J. Cole albums?
Wayne at #1???? Not even in the top 30. Step you Hiphop game up and turn off your radio!
