No order aside from #1 which is

Nas-Illmatic-perfect. Short, great production, great lyrics and the formal introduction of the greatest and smoothest flow in the history of hip hop.

Long list of the albums I personally would not be complete without owning or having listened too

Aesop Rock-Bazooka Tooth but really his whole catalog. Guy has the largest vocabulary in history

Az-Doe or die
Beanie Siegel-the truth-this did is so underrated
Blu/exile-below the heavens-rivals the best debuts ever
Cannibal Ox-The cold vein-classic
Digable Planets-reachin-criminally slept on
Dr Dre-the chronic
El P-fantastic damage and cancer for cure
Run the Jewels-RTJ 1 and 2
Elzhi-the preface
Scarface-the fix-really great album
Eminem-marshall mathers 1
50 Cent-get rich
Foreign Exchange-connected
Fugees-the score-should be on any list. Lauren murdered this album
Gza-liquid swords
Ghostface-supreme clientele-most underrated wu tang album of them all
Illogic- celestial clockwork
Immortal technique-revolutionary vol 2
Jay Z-reasonable dount /Blueprint
Joe Budden-mood muzik 2
Kanye West-college dropout/dark twisted fantasy
Killa Mike-monster/RAP music
Little Brother-the listening-introduced phone who is fantastic
Lupe Fiasco-food and liquid
Company Flow-funcrusher plus
Madvillian-madvilliany-mo fan of doom but this album was great
Monb Deep-the infamous
Blackstar
Mos Def-black on both sides
Murs-3:16 the 9th edition
Nas-stillmatic/it was written
Biggie-life after death-take the 4-5 fillers off and this is a masterpiece. He was on his way to being the best of all time
Biggie-ready to die
Onyx-shut em down-sticky fingas was a beast on this album
Raekwon-cuban linx
Ras Kass-first album
Roots-things fall apart
Smif n wessun-dah shining
Black moon-enta DA stage
Snoop- doggy style -these young kids don't know just how anticipated this album was. He was the king at that time
Tonedeff-archetype-if you haven't heard it, find it
Tribe called quest-their first 4-5 albums are all top notch
Makaveli-7day theory-his best work IMO
Wu tang-36 chambers
Wu tang-forever-as with all doubles, take the filler off and this one is up there with the best. Filler drops it though
Slum Villages fantastic 2
Pharoah Monche-internal affairs-criminally slept on
Reflection Eternal-train of thought
DOC-No one can do it better

Outkast-best group of all time and aside from Idlewild they don't have a bad album.

Southernplayalistic-the introduction. They were so raw but so talented. Organized Noize served up the backdrop and set the bar for southern production

Atliens-the beginning of Andre's transformation into Andre 3000. He was just starting to perfect his craft. Maybe Organized Noize's best work. Completely different sound than playalistic and some hated it but its outstanding once you settle in and vibe to it

Aquemini-perfection. All of them at their best and in a zone. Andre completed his takes of perfecting his flow and lyrical acrobatics. He was as good as it gets on this album. This was his entry into the best alive competition. Production was fantastic on this and Big Boi rose up and didn't let Andre completely push him aside. Imagine having to rap next to Andre and not be completely forgotten. That's how good Big Boy is but also shows just how good Dre is.

Stankonia- completely different and definitely an acquired taste but it has BOB on it and that beat is ridiculous. Also has their biggest radio hits on it(other than hey ya of course). For their worst album its responsible for the commercial appeal that led to hey ya being so huge. For the commercial success of Mrs Jackson and So fresh, So clean, they aren't commercial records.

Speakerboxx/love below-honestly not my thing especially love below but Big Boi did a great job with speakerboxx. He showed he could hold his own. Don't think anyone that's a true Outkast fan can explain the massive success of Andre and his "singing". Why such a gifted lyricist and rapper went to the extreme he did is beyond me but I'm not uniquely genius so maybe I'm just not able to comprehend.

Will wait forever for the reunion album and it will come. They have to give us one more. It will come and they will cement their legacy as maybe the best rap act of all time. Already are imo

No Eric b and rakim?
