That rap album Anthrax made...because it's made by the same guys who wrote Madhouse and Caught In A Mosh. XD But talking REAL rap, I'm not a fan of it in the least...except for maybe the Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air song. =D

Woah, when I first saw this topic, I was thinking "Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A"!! And your post was the first thing I saw.

Anyways, yeah, I've been listening to N.W.A a lot recently. My favorite song on that album has gotta be "F**k Tha Police". That song is a masterpiece.

Snoop Dogg - Rhythm and Gangsta - the Masterpiece T.I. - T.I. vs T.I.P And probably some old Tupac album I don't know the name of. Old school rap has a lot of good ones.

No shame that was one of the best hip-hop albums of the past decade.

Yes, very hilarious song. I also really like Tupac - Strictly for my (n-words), however, it's pretty depressing. Most rap is upbeat and funny to listen to, but this album pulls no punches, which in a way is a good thing, but then again, the lyrics and mood is really intense and doesn't ever let up. Someone also mentioned Immortal Technique, I have the Volume 1 album of that set, Revolutionary I think it's called.

Ready To Die by Notorious B.I.G. Life After Death was another great one, especially since it was a double disc.
