Of course the classics (Illmatic, Chronic and chronic 2001) but seriously no love for tupac? Maybe this isn't the right way to say it, but tupac made music with a great message, music that incites positive change.

Has no one mentioned Wu Tang Forever yet? In my opinion it is even better than 36 Chambers

Also:

Power In Numbers - Jurassic 5

Rainy Dayz Remixes - Amplive

Moment of Truth - Gang Starr (mentioned many times but my favourite album of all time)

ATLiens - Outkast!

I'm from Minnesota so I have a horrible bias.

So . . .

Eyedea and Abilities - E&A ("Now" is pretty much my favorite hip hop song ever)
Atmosphere - Lucy Ford ("Woman with the tattooed hands" is my second favorite)

Not only the greatest rap album but the greatest album ever made

Such a joke when I see people say shit like 'illmatic, it takes a nation of millions..., 36 chambers, paid in full, ready to die, low end theory"

If you want anyone to actually respect you, form your own opinions.

FUCK YEAH! Came in here to post that, Common Market is so sick. Also, God's Son by Nas is probably the best album ever, in any genre.
