Top 10 Hip Hop Albums?
If you had to pick your top 10 favorite hip hop albums, what would they be? Here's my list:
1. Eminem - The Eminem Show
2. 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin'
3. Lloyd Banks - Hunger For More
4. Notorious B.I.G. - Duets: The Final Chapter
5. Obie Trice - Cheers
6. Ludacris - Word of Mouf
7. Kanye West - College Dropout
8. Jay-Z - The Blueprint
9. MethodMan & RedMan - Blackout!
10. Chamillionaire - The Sound of Revenge
This was a hardass list to put together. Keep in mind this isn't a list of the all time best hip hop albums cause I'm definitely missing classics like Eric B. & Rakim's Paid in Full, Nas' Illmatic, and Dr. Dre's The Chronic. This is basically just your most listened to rap CDs.

I gotta say, as a fan of hip hop you should really check out some more stuff from the 90s. I know its an opinion, but when the oldest album on there is from 2001 I'm sure your collection of hip hop albums is still pretty small at this point.
My top 10 personal favourites
Nas - Illmatic
Common - One Day It'll All Make Sense
Nas - The Lost Tapes
Mos Def and Talib Kweli - Black Star
Outkast - ATLiens
GZA - Liquid Swords
Eminem - Slim Shady LP
Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor
Fugees - The Score
Cunninlynguists - A Piece of Strange
