7th Grade '01-'02- Blueprint and Stillmatic. I'm a Jay fan but I think more dudes bumped Nas back then.
8th Grade '02-'03- Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Don't deny it-- if not a classic, then certainly a hood classic.
9th Grade '03-'04- The Black Album. All that stuff Timbo was saying how Jay was gonna blow every other rapper out of the water when they were recording "Dirt Off You Shoulder", FACT.
10th Grade '04-'05- The Documentary. Be and The College Dropout were better, but that was irrelevant.
11th Grade '05-'06- Late Registration. The last hip-hop magnum opus by any rapper.
12th Grade '06-'07- Timabaland- Futuresex/Lovesounds. I can't find it in me to include Justin TImberlake's name with the aforementioned works. Nothing against the album or the man.

As for the culture (err, fashion), I feel like it really helped us grow also.

Early years- Diplomats and the jerseys. Jay did, so did everyone else. But only the Dips mattered.
Middle years- The Jay-Z grown and sexy button-up/Kanye polo thing.
Senior years- Kanye hipster look. (I actually wouldn't call this a maturation but it happened)


Just some food for thought from some dude who's too busy bugging out to "The Documentary" to study for any finals.

Son...thats like...my Exact list

. College dropout was 8th grade though. Lemme guess, you a freshman now?

9th-Its Dark.../ Ruff Ryders vol 1./When the smoke clears/Flesh of My Flesh
10th-Marshall Mathers Lp/Dynasty/Ghetto Fabolous/Mista Dont Play

11th-Ruff Ryders vol 2./Kiss The Game Goodbye/Lord Willin

/Train ofThought

/Blueprint/Backstage/Professional pt 2.

12th-Blueprint 2?? This wasnt even my favorite album in 03 but its all that i can think of. Funny considering that was my most recent year of high school.

Then again i was stuck on alot of older %$#@ in high school like no limit,scarface,2pac, the death row movement, bone etc.. so i listened to a lot ofdifferent time periods but their were only a few albums i was really stuck on ALL through high school that was when the smoke clears,backstage, and train ofthought
