Lil Child‘s 2020 album, My Flip, landed at No. 8 on Billboard’s new listing of the “Prime Billboard 200 Albums of the twenty first Century,” sparking large debate on-line. The rating positions it as the best rap venture on the listing, following behind albums by Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, and extra artists. As for a way Billboard decided its rankings for the listing, the publication explains on its web site: “Billboard’s Prime Billboard 200 Albums of the twenty first Century chart displays efficiency on weekly Billboard 200 charts dated Jan. 1, 2000, by means of Dec. 28, 2024. (Titles launched previous to mid-1999 are excluded.)”

Followers on social media have been in an uproar concerning the rating. “No exaggeration however this one of many worst rating alternatives I’ve seen a very long time. The identical century that gave us Kanye, Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and so forth. But they choose Lil Child ‘My Flip’ as the largest rap album of that century? Whoever selected that has minimal Hip Hop information,” one consumer wrote on X (previously Twitter). One other argued: “Kanye and Jay Z didn’t make the listing. We are saying it quite a bit however this actually is perhaps worse listing ever put collectively Beyoncé didn’t make it both.”
