BQ: What are your top 5 albums on my list?
BQ2: Recommend me a great album that you feel deserves to be on that list which I may not have already heard.
@Ask A Gangster
I'm not really into west coast hip-hop as much but I thought 2001 had great production. I probably could move AmeriKKKa's up a bit though.

BQ2:
Have you heard 3rd Eye Vision by Hieroglyphics?
Evolution Fight by CYNE
- Anonymous10 years ago
Yeah I agree with the people saying you need a few west coast classics in there since that's my favorite style of hip-hop but I can understand that not everybody likes gangsta rap, especially if you ain't black or whatever.
Bq- Ice Cube - AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
Pharoahe Monch - Internal Affairs
Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full
Royce da 5'9" - Death is Certain
Dr. Dre - 2001
Bq2- I think you would like 'Soul on Ice' by Ras Kass, it's one of the best west-coast albums of all time and it would be more lyrical than nwa, snoop dogg ect. so it would be more like the same style as some of your others you chose. Defiantly an underrated classic...

Lol @ 1 [2]
Also Undun isn't that good of an album. Maybe it would make late 90s for me.
BQ: Nas-Illmatic
Common-Like Water For Chocolate
GZA-Liquid Swords
Blackstar-Blackstar
CunninLynguists-APOS
^This is just at the moment, it will change soon
BQ2: You had Cage on there so try Sadistik-The Balancing Act. I know I'm a stan of him but that album deserves to be in at least Top 50
