You've probably already heard it but A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders, is really good for the full album experience.  Its a lot better when your high for some reason.

Yeah but that album is like extra enhanced.  Theres a lot on intricacies in the beat and backround noises and shit that I don't pick up on when I'm not high.

fappy was right on with "a book of human language". im also going to recommend prince paul: "prince among thieves". the album tells a story from the beginning to end with guest spots from some of the illest emcees
