Hm, I'd go for something like "It takes a nation of millions to hold us back" (Public Enemy), "Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde" (The Pharcyde), "Train of Thought" (Talib Kweli + Dj Hi-Tek/reflection eternal), "Death Certificate" (Ice-Cube) "Ironman" (Ghostface Killah), "Criminal Minded" (Boogie Down Productions/KRS-One), "Internal Affairs" (Pharoa Monch), "All Eyez on Me" (Tupac), Illmatic (Nas) amongst others... Oh, the topic more or less changed to greatest hip hop albums. :) So I thought I'd give my share as well. The other question is a bit weird.
