Top 10 hip hop/rap albums of all time?

This is not a list of who is better than who, I just want to see who everyone likes, so lemme see what your 10 favorite albums are.

This is all that matters.

Illmatic Enter the Wu-Tang Black Moon - Enta Da Stage A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders MF DOOM - Mm..Food GZA - Liquid Swords CunninLynguists - A Piece of Strange Big L - Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous Main Source - Breaking Atoms I know I forgot something.JML897

mainly ONEBELO- SONOGRAM

I have never heard of Black Moon and seeing how I love all the other albums on your list I am going to peep him.

All opinions aside, I think if you're making a list of top 10 best hip-hop albums, Illmatic MUST be on there. If we're talking top 10 favorite, sure you can put whatever you want on there, but top 10 best is a different list as far as I'm concerned. I don't have a list though cuz mine would change a lot and I'd be too indecisive. Regarding your list, I respect all your choices, although The Minstrel Show was an odd choice. It's a pretty good album, but The Listening > Minstrel Show imo.TheHimura

Illmatic is terribly overrated imo. It's like the Master of Puppets of rap...

edit: correction, only about half of the beats on "Nocturnal" are from Beatminerz, but all the beats are great.

I got Nocturnal my 35 yr old neighbor told me about it, sick album .

You guys are all wrong, Conquistadors is the best track on that Binary Star album :xJML897

No love for honest expression? Slang Blade? One man army? The KGB? Ca't forget about reality check either!

They're all awesome :P

In no order:

I don't really want to start a list, as it would take me forever to decide. I will however, throw this out there.

That album was just so chill.

1. Saul Williams- Amethyst rock star

2. MF grimm- MFgrimm & MF Doom

3. Quarashi- Guerilla disco

4. Why?- Alopecia

5. Aesop rock- None shall pass

6. Atmosphere- God loves ugly

7. Main source- Breaking atoms

8. Dan the automator- Dr. Octagonecologyst

9. Pharcyde- Bizarre ride II the pharcyde

10. Company flow- Funcrusher plus

All you need.

That's not even his best album. :P

I like Lupe a lot, but I wouldn't put either of his albums near my top 10...

Food N Liquor was a good album but The Cool was nowhere on par with it.

Lord Willin - Clipse. Started the coke rap phase. Clipse is such an underated duo man that album is unreal. Good lists by everyone but serious no Raekwon?
