edited May 2015 in The Reason
I conjured up 64 albums from The Reason's "classics vault" that performed the best on the polls , which left acouple albums not making the tournament. I think this tournament will raise very good/interesting debates. Two threads a day will be made until we reach a winner and The Reason's official greatest album of alltime.


Before you start ? about why a certain album didnt make the cut, I only selected albums that are in the vault. I faced em in the order that the threads were made in, until the last few matches.



Here's what the brackets look like:

Division A-

Division B-

Division C-

Division D-

Ill be making threads for the first two matches shortly , which are

7 Day Theory VS Supreme Clientele and E 1999 Eternal VS Life After Death

    I got a beef with Goldie for leaving off some albums i know are in the vault but keeping others on....

    I dont see no Slick Rick, Devin, or Three 6 in the mix






    ....east coast biased

    There's east coast cats I left off too (Az,CL Smooth). Plus Slick Rick's an east coast rapper , idk why, but his first album aint even in the vault.

    Youre right tho, a 3-6 album should be in the tournament. Im replacing Blu's- Below the Heavens album with Mista Dont Play.

    I put "Dark Fantasy" up there on accident, it should be Late Registration, DF's not in the vault.

    If yall think I should switch it with "Whut? Thee" , Ill change it. I tried to get every artist in the tournament, so some artist with multiple albums in the vault only got 1 or 2 in the tournament, I even left off "the black album".

    So this is some southern "affirmative action" ? going on huh? There's no reason for a ? Project Pat album to be anywhere near a "classic", don't make a mockery of this ? already.

    I'm not even the biggest fan of Blu or that album either.

    Mister Dont Play and even Ghetty Green will get more play by me than some of the ? in the vault

    Three6 "The End" should be in there too

    Yea, he was born in the UK and moved to the bronx when he was 11 and lived there until his 30s. I would give him the east coast rapper label.

    I over looked "Adrenaline Rush" which Im sure a thread was made for it to go in the vault, I think either menace or 5th letter may have made it. But there's still one face off in the first round I havent done yet Guerilla warfare vs Bow Down, I think Im gonna replace Bow Down , with Adrenaline Rush.
