Rap/Hip-Hop fans, What is your go to album/mixtape?

Whenever you can't decide what to listen to, you can go to this tape every time. It never gets old. You never get tired of hearing it. Whether its something new or old, everybody post your go to album/tape. I'm trying to get on some new shite. I'll name a few of mine.
1. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter I
2. Lil Wayne - No Ceilings
IMO, Wayne isn't the same rapper he used to be. I haven't really enjoyed much of his stuff since No Ceilings. Carter IV and D4 sucked and there's not a word I can use that describe how incredibly shitty and terrible Sorry 4 Tha Wait was.
3. J. Cole - Friday Night Lights
4. J. Cole - Cole World: Sideline Story
Cole is easily my favorite artist right now. That mixtape was crazy and the album was even better. He's not showing any signs of slowing down either. There have been very few times where I heard a Cole song and didn't like it.
5. Kendrick Lamar - Section 80
Its obvious Kendrick is up next. Winning Lyricist of the Year over the people he did without having an album or mixtape drop this year is absolutely nuts. I can't wait until the 22nd to get "good kid, maad city." Its going to be nuts.
What do you guys have?

I need to give this a serious listen. I've listened to it, but it was one of those things where I wasn't really paying attention. Just kind of had it on while I was fricking around on the computer. Is it that good?

It seems we have the same kind of taste in music 
. That being said, I'm not really into the mainstream ish anymore and I've become more of an underground person
Los: The Crown ain't Safe
Los is one of the most underrated rappers out right now. He has the punch lines and metaphors of 2005-07 Wayne and the insane lyrics that remind you of Kendrick. But the best part of it all, he only freestyles his shite
Mark Battles: Walking Distance
Mark is just crazy. The dude can spit on a very high level and is talented with the punch lines also
Here is a video of him and Los going in on an amazing beat
Jon Connor: Season 2; While you were sleeping
Connor is real hip hop. The stuff he raps about reminds me of an earlier version of Jay Z in his prime. If you're looking for some real shite, He is the perfect person for you
Logic: Undeniable
The force is strong with this one. He keeps it true to his roots and has a new school flow but with old school bars. This is him going ham on one of my favorite OutKast beats
Nipsey Hussle: The Marathon Continues
Straight Gangster shite. This is your typical money, cars, girls, and guns rapper but with a flow and rhyme scheme that's untouchable. One of my favorites to blast

This is exactly what I was looking for when I started this thread. Everyone has their own favorites and I was hoping to get some responses including artists I don't usually listen to. I just figured this was a better way to go about asking than just making a thread saying, "Who should I listen to?"
Everybody's lists are awesome.

There's no limit. Just post anything that never gets old to you. I just went with those because they are my absolute favorites.
While I'm at it, I might as well post a few more of my favorites.
Nas - Illmatic ..Self explanatory
B.o.B. - Strange Clouds ..after listening to him a few times it didn't take long for him to stick out to me. The man is just talented.
Lil Wayne - Drought 3 ..one of my favorite mixtapes ever. He was untouchable at the time he made this.

Another thing I just thought of isn't an album or mixtape, but it needs to be posted. Any freestyle Cassidy has ever done. He can't make an album for shite, but he is 2nd to none when it comes to freestyling. His verses on Rap City: The Bassment back in the day were just ridiculous. He's had a more recent on on the Cosmic Kev radio show that's just out of control.
