Low End Theory
Ready to Die
The Black Album
Marshall Mathers
Stankonia
All Eyez on Me
Straight Outta Compton

Probably throw License to Ill and Raising Hell on the list just based on how influential they were in making rap mainstream.

Best rap album I heard was Public Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.

Good album choices except for last 2.

Everyone knows that if it wasn’t a double cd, AEOM would be a classic but there were a lot of songs that were just there to fill time.

SOC wasn’t the group’s best album. Although SOC had the best lyrics of their catalog, it was just rhyming over samples. Their 2nd full album was easily better in production and music that set up the west coast sound for a decade and the lyrics were pretty good with Ren and Doc doing the writing.

Missed the group thing but OutKast, Tribe, Beasties, Run DMC were all groups.

Yeah I kind of skimmed through them I missed Tribe and Outkast....I never really listened to Beastie Boys or Run DMC.

I love 36 Chambers, but Midnight Marauders, Low End Theory, and Beats Rhymes and Life are all better, imo.

I had an underground hip-hop show at KZSU 90.1 FM Stanford from ~1996-1999. At that point Wu-Tang was fully entrenched and the solo albums from GZA and Raekwon were seminal. I don’t ever knock new era hip-hop, but the 90s truly were the Golden Era of the music as far as I’m concerned.

 

[Sarek]

Rock & Roll, 1970's & 1950s

Rap 1980's & 1990's

Techno/NYC House Music Late 1990's & Early 2000's

On and on with swing 1920's etc.

 

[zrinkill]

Method Man is the best

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Public Enemy it takes a nation of millions
NWA Straight out of Compton
Wu Tang 36 Chambers
Fugees the Score

The next two might be cheesy to some but I loved them back in the day

UTFO - UTFO
Whodini The Escape
