I went back and looked at the old versions of this thread and gathered the ten most popular choices. So this should be difficult. Pick your favorite 5 albums.

Jeru the Damaja- The Sun Rises in the East. One of the rawest albums ever.
Souls of Mischief- 93 'til Infinity. The best west coast album ever imo. The Souls got some crazy rhyme structures on this, and the beats to match.
Raekwon- Only Built for Cuban Linx
Mobb Deep- The Infamous. I've decided this is my favorite album. The most dark and grimey beats ever, and Prodigy is at the pinnacle of his MC career. You can feel the ghetto and shit.
A Tribe Called Quest- Midnight Marauders
Safe to say these are 10 of the best albums ever no doubt. I'll tally the votes once I think the responses have finished.Partial IP: 105.108.96 |

having 2 wu tang albums on the list is cheating.
1. midnight marauders
2. swap both wu tangs for ODB's Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version
3. trade hard to earn for moment of truth
4. the infamous
5. trade sun rises in the east for wrath of the math

but if i had to try... in no particular order....
liquid swordz

OB4CL
illadelph halflife
AAARRRGHH can't decide between 93 til infinity, stress and the infamous and the sun also rises.
TRICK QUESTION!!
FTR, i didn't pick "hard to earn" cuz i don't consider it gangstarr's best album. it's a phenomenal album, but i got a thing for "step in the arena".Partial IP: 219.92.130 |

1. Liquid Swords - lyrically one of the most complex albums of all time and one of my favorites.
2. Midnight Marauders - the chill vibe on this album is untouchable.
3. The Infamous - too many bangers to list.
4. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx - I mean this shit spawned a renaissance in street rap
5. 93' Til Infinity - I love everything that comes out the Hiero camp.Partial IP: 7.99.157.4 |

Looks like OB4CL is the best album ever! Haha. Almost everyone had the top 4. A couple responses were ambiguous and I had to guess what they picked. Anyway good shit. I'll try to do another one several months from now with some albums I haven't done before, old and new.Partial IP: 105.108.96 |

Regardless of the numbers and what everyone picked, those are ALL fuckin great albums and must-owns for every so-called Hiphop head. And I don't mean owning the mp3's, I mean owning the actual Vinyl LP's, CD's or even Cassette Tapes.Partial IP: 188.114.27 |

^Agreed. And I do own all of the OG copies. Except for Liquid Swords, I've had my albums stolen twice and I haven't gotten a chance to buy a real copy yet so I got a burned copy. I'll admit it bothers me, it looks out of place in my cd collection. But I'll live. I hope you can forgive me.  Partial IP: 105.108.96 |
