DMX - Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood

50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin
Kanye West - Graduation

That'd be my top 10 I think. Keep in mind I liked pharcyde, roots, common, mos def, etc but not enough to put any of them in my top 10. I do strongly believe people like Ice Cube deserve an album in the top 10 over people like 50 cent, but 50 cent had that one album that stood out while all of cube's albums i couldn't pick one that stood out from the others. Honorable mention would be amerikkka's most wanted or lethal injection. I also don't personally like Nas, so you can chalk his absence on the above list to a personal bias. I'm also too young to put public enemy, krs-one or grandmaster flash on my lists.

Honorable mentions:

Reasonable Doubt, Black Album, American Gangster, Life After Death, Makavelli, Me Against The World, The Chronic, Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Lethal Injection, The Predator, Westside Connection (Bow Down), Straight Outta Compton

im sure i could keep going with the honorable mentions but meh
 
Good- I was hoping no one would miss listing Souls of Mischief in there.

93 till infinity is still a staple that comes on a few times a week in my playlist.
 
Finally...

Finally, someone mentioned Straight Outta Compton - best track of all time, IMHO, is Fuck Tha Police.

Anyone else remember UGK - Super Tight?

And no love for Scarface? The Diary wasn't great, but it was memorable, and Last of a Dying Breed was a damn good album.

Also, Paul's Boutique should be in everyone's top 10.

Not to nitpick, but some of the classic Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions really isn't that much older than some of what you listed. PE's "It Takes a Nation.." came out the same year as "Straight Outta Compton" and then "Fear of a Black Planet" was actually 2 years later. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five never had what most would consider a full rap album.


Some that haven't been mentioned yet :

Ice T - "Freedom of Speach..."
Ultramagnetic MC's - "Critical Beatdown"
Mobb Deep - "The Infamous"
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - "Mecca and the Soul Brother"
The D.O.C. - "Noone Can Do It Better"
Black Moon - "Enta Da Stage"
Run D.M.C. - "Raising Hell"

Yeah, but I was 5 years old when straight outta compton was released, and I didn't listen to it at that point. I'd say I started to really listen to hip hop at age 10 with doggy style, cypress hill and house of pain. After listening to doggystyle you find out about the chronic, then on to N.W.A, easy-e, then tupac, and from there biggie and wu-tang and other east coast stuff, but I never really listened to public enemy or krs-one, I always knew of them and that people considered them classics, but never took personal interest in them.

grand master flash was more to just prove a point. :1orglaugh:
