1 . ATLiens/Aquemini/Stankonia - Outkast. Can't split em, three way tie for first
2 . Midnight Marauders - A Tribe Called Quest
3 . 36 Chambers - Wu-Tang

5 . Illmatic - Nas
6 . 3 Feet High & Rising - De La Soul
7 . Dr. Octagonecolygist - Dr Octagon (Kool Keith)
8 . Late Registration - Kanye West
9 . Madvillainy - Madlib & MF Doom
10 . Black Star - Kweli & Mos

artists I like apart from these legends...

Murs, The Beatnuts, Pharoahe Monche, Souls of Mischief, Organized Konfusion, Bus-a-Bus, Cee-Lo, Goodie Mob, Nappy Roots, Common, Jay Dee, The Roots, Lupe Fiasco, Jungle Brothers, Blackalicious, People Under The Stairs, The Herd, Katalyst, Horrorshow, Spit Syndicate, Def Wish Cast, Dead Prez, Atmosphere, Digable Planets, Ultramagnetic MC's, Pete Rock, Hieroglyphics, Lateef, Roots Manuva, The Streets

Git Up Git out and git something... yeah southernplayalistic is pretty damn top notch too. Should've made it a four way tie.

On the Pharcyde, for years I've been dreaming for them to re-unite the original line-up and tour... and they ARE. Good Vibes 09 oh yeah

I go from skip-skop to hip-hop to be-bop to P-funk
Cutting enough bullsh*t to turn a tree into a tree trunk
'Cause we've sunk ships from the Pacific to the Atlantic
I dig dips who've got the hips that are gigantic 'cause I'm frantic
Take you in a frenzy
Takin' you out is easier than pullin' a pull-out out of a Benzi
Box while I rocks the orthodox styles to make you squirm
Yes I come from Cali no I do not have a perm
I stand firm on the mic device when I gets nice
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price
I got more flavor than 7-11 Slurpees
If Magic can admit he got AIDS, f*ck it - I got herpes

When i was younger i was into 2pac alot. still listen to his albums sometimes. I sort of don't download rap albums anymore but instead i download mixtapes by DJs.

anyone know whats a good site to check out latest hiphop albums?

Also, someone kill Kanya West. He's black so people think he's a rapper.

kanye's first album wasnt too bad but then he got a bank roll.

DJ's these days, especially american ones, like to shout out during the mixtapes, that shiits me to tears.

hot97 is a good website.

try searching for american hip hop radio stations, i seem to find alot of stuff through there.

i didn't say i knew the whole of rap but in terms of albums i've bought all of 2pac's albums that he made himself. The stuff people make for him now i think is crap so i don't buy it but i still dowload it.

because there's about thirty other rappers better than him that don't get 1% the shine he does ...

i like him ... but he doesn't hold a candle stick to most of the G.O.A.T's

My preferred groups are:

Wu Tang Clan
Killarmy
Jedi Mind Tricks
Army Of The Pharoahs
Lost Children Of Babylon

That sort of stuff...underground, political/spiritual knowledge rap.

It is an acquired taste, but quality music.
