Nas - Illmatic by a mile in my opinion.

Stumble Bum · 8 Jan 2011 at 16:10

Dr Dre. Chronic 2001 and Marshall Mathers LP

DJ_Switch · 8 Jan 2011 at 16:20

Big Daddy Kane - Long Live the Kane

Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions

LL Cool J - Radio

Eric B + Rakim - Paid in Full

Souls of Mischief - 93 'til Infinity

Main Source - Breaking Atoms

Marshall Mathers LP...seriously??

Its not even his best album. SS lp was far more hip/hop and still, imo, his best work to date. Although Recovery is a damn good album and return to form, its just not quite a good as SS lp. bother are better than MM lp

It's illmatic, for me.

Also it take's a million, and previously mentioned. BIG - ready to die, NWA - straight outta compton and Doggy style as well. the pinnacle of hiphop, imo

Immortal Technique - Revolutionairy Volume II

Wu tang Forever is poor. 36 chambers, Liquid Swords, Cuban Linx, Return to the 36 chambers or the first ghostface killer album are all far better albums

I wouldn't call Wu Tang Forever "poor", but those first round of albums (36 chambers, Liquid Swords, OB4CL, Ironman, Tical) are deffo where it's at. Such a classic sound.
