Aquemini
Below The Heavens
Boy Meets World
College Dropout
Reasonable Doubt

Potentially MBDTF and GKMC

These are pretty much just my favorite classic albums. I recognize others as being technically better, but not as enjoyable for me to listen to.

I've tried so hard to really like this album but I just can't

They don't have enough of an "edge" for me. It's just not gangster enough.

I really don't listen to rap. It just isn't my style generally.

That being said, Illmatic is the only rap album that I consistently listen to. I think that it is so good that it appeals to people who generally aren't into rap. I also listen to The Chronic occasionally.

Hey, different strokes for different folks. I'm way more into the laid back hip hop I can burn a biscuit to so ATCQ is one of my favorites

I'm probably going to have to knock one of them out when Jay Elec drops his album. Whenever that may be.

Ya know, we should start a Greatest Hip Hop Album of all time tournament.

ETA: And no love for Only Made for Cuban Linx.

Any Gravediggaz fans in here?

That's probably my favorite Wu-Tang offshoot album after Liquid Swords
