I think they're confusing some of the (arguably) best albums with those that changed the game. It's clear, from the absence of albums made prior to 1994, they are only focusing on the "golden age" of hip hop. Illmatic changed the game but I don't think Ready to Die did (especially since they were released within 5 months of each other). It's Dark and Hell is Hot should definitely be on this list as should Enter the Wu-Tang.
