Complex.com premiered their version (another one) of their top 100 albums of the 2000's today. The list is compiled mostly of hip-hop acts that get little notice from the likes of Pitchfork, with Jay-Z's 2001 album The Blueprint taking the top ranking, and Kanye West's 2007 album Graduation holding in as runner up.
The compilation, while given credit for following the route not typical of the other music publications, is still fraught with confusion and questionable ranks. For instance, New Orleans alternative hip-hop duo The Knux debut album Remind Me in Three Days was placed at number 58 on the list, followed by Bubba Sparxxx's (likely the first and last time I write his name here) 2003 album Deliverance.
While these albums certainly have their fans, just for point of reference I'd like to note that Modest Mouse's Good News for People Who Love Bad News was ranked at number 96. So, you can maybe make some kind of point.
