In this episode, the Don't Quote Me crew puts an end to the culture-defining debate: What are the Greatest Rap Albums from Every Region, All-Time? We dive deep into the classic, career-defining projects and break down the albums that truly solidified the sound of the East Coast, West Coast, The South, and The Midwest.

The debate is raw and unfiltered as the panel goes through album-by-album, settling the score on which projects deserve the ultimate crown. We debate the lasting impact of projects like Tupac’s The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, the revolutionary sound of Outkast’s ATLiens, the unforgettable trap blueprint of Jeezy’s Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, and whether Eminem’s classic The Slim Shady LP or Marshall Mathers LP reigns supreme in the Midwest. The conversation culminates in a heated battle for the New York throne, pitting Biggie’s legendary Life After Death against Nas’s resurgence on Stillmatic and Raekwon’s masterpiece, The Purple Tape.

If you're a fan of hip hop history, classic albums, or just love a good heated debate about the culture, this episode is a must-watch. Get your list ready!
