Best rap album(s) - What do you think?

[Palmares]

I think Illmatic is by far the best. Someother good ones in no specific order are;

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Straight Outta Compton
Ready to Die
Life After Death
All Eyez on Me
The Blueprint
Stillmatic
Chronic
Me Against the World
Until The End Of Time
Lost Tapes
It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Not all of these are my personal viewpoints, some are reccommened, but all by Nas are true to my word.

"Represent'n is ILLMATIC."

3.DYWM
4.The Listening
5.BlackStar

I think by far my favorite is Things Fall Apart...it's the album that turned me on to hip hop

I wasn't feelin nas then like I am now

[Dhul Fiqar]

Enter the Wu-Tang 36 Chambers

That album has everything, the sound is EXACTLY the right kind of raw type that I like.
