Illmatic followed closely by Enter the Wu Tang, then Midnight Marauders.

I'd listen to just about any of those, though.

Reverend Axel
I'm going with Enter the Wu-Tang

Healing Artisan
that's difficult.

i'll go with 36 Chambers. Illmatic and Stress: Extinction Agenda are tied for 2nd.

Joey Stacks
Life After Death > Ready to Die

on list I say Infamous

Solo
Paul's Boutique, Liquid Swords, or Breaking Atoms. I really like Black Star, too.

Just kidding! On a serious note, I'd have to say the best hip-hop album I've ever heard is Queen Latifah's "Nature of a Sista".

Healing Artisan
went back and listened to 'Life After Death' and 'Ready to Die'.

'Life After Death' is NOTHING compared to 'Ready to Die'.

Maybe it's just me but 'Life After Death' was boring for the most part.

High Priest
I like most hip hop but heres some of my best....

1)Busta Rymes -extinction level event
2)Fabolous-from nothing to somethin
3)Memphis Bleek-534
4)Mystikal-tarantula
5)Snoop Dogg-rhythm and gangsta
6)Mims-music is my savior
7)Clipse-lord willin
8)Jay-z-vol2..hard knock life
9)Busta rymes-genesis
10)Mystikal-lets get ready

Funkadelic
I dig: It takes a nation of millions... - Public enemy, Straight Outtta Compton - NWA, All Eyez On me - 2Pac embarrasment , The Score - The Fugees etc.

But I'm not that in2 hip hop at all, just some of it I kinda dig.

Healing Artisan

Illmatic, just a great album all around plus it has the line "I don't sleep cuz sleep is the cousin of death."

Followed by Wu.
