Списание Rolling Stone е смятано за един от най-сериозните авторитети в света на музиката и това е така вече над пет десетилетия. Известно със своите чести провокации и фокус върху музика, политика, кино и спорт, изданието само по себе си се е превърнало в културен феномен за няколко поколения почитатели.
Мнението им се цени и затова от там често правят класации за най-добри песни или изпълнители в различни стилове или пък изобщо.
Сега са решили да направят такава за 200-те най-велики хип-хоп албуми в историята.
Без съмнение трудна и може би противоречива задача, имайки предвид разнообразието на стила и дългата му еволюция до днес.
"Така се получава един списък, засягащ всеки важен момент от историята на жанра - от компилации, които почитат първите дни на стила, до нейния артистичен разцвет в края на осемдесетте и началото на деветдесетте с Public Enemy, De La Soul, Eric B. и Rakim, преминава през класическия период на генгста хип-хопа с легендите 2Pac и B.I.G, последван от изгряването на суперзвездите като Jay Z, Kanye West и Ники Минаж, за да стигнем до модерните блог, дрил, трап или емо", отбелязват от списанието.
Съвсем логично класацията е силно повлияна от американската култура и включва само албуми от американски изпълнители, имайки предвид, че най-известните и успешни рапъри са работили и творили най-вече зад Океана.
