Cant believe nobody has mentioned 17 REASONS. Definitely changed the game. Sales wise, it did well, but what it did as far as impact....hardly any of them albums mentioned on here have had the success that 17 REASONS for bay culture and latins in general.
17 Reasons is a compilation, doubt if that qualifies. Your right though, it was ground breaking and did in the range of 60 maybe 70,000 pieces. Very impressive #'s for an Indy considering it was also BNB's first release.

Funny i was thinking right before i saw this thread just now that Nickatina/Dre Dog is the only rapper i can think of that his first 3 albums were classic, usually its everyones first release that is by far there best work but he did it 3 times in a row. Im not making no list but if i dont see a Glp album on the list im not gonna take it serious
