A lot of you guys already mentioned some of my favorites but some others that you guys should litsten to is Deltron 3030 witch was a concept album. One of my Top 5 faves is the Cannibal OX album. It is the most darkest hip hop ever. Its almost gothic hip hop. EL-P's dark beats combined with Vast Aire poetic lyrics is just so beautifil together. It might be my favorite but it always switches between thes albums.
My Top 5 (in no particular order)
1.Cannibal Ox
2.Madvilliany
3.The Unseen
4.Third Eye Vision
5. Deltron 3030

great list^
but Third Eye Vision better than Deltron 3030? i would disagree on that one.
and Cold Vein is a crazy album by Cannibal Ox. Morgul is overrated sometimes...but Vast is great.
My list as of today:
1) JEDI MIND TRICKS-VIOLENT BY DESIGN (love everything about this album
2) Immortal Technique-Revolutionary Volume 2
3) Immortal Technique-Silenced Revolution
4) Nas-Illmatic
5) The Streets-A Grand Don't Come For Free (i dunno if this counts but i really like it)
6) A Tribe Called Quest-Midnight Marauders
7) Mr. Metaphor-Metropolis
8) Mobb Deep-The Infamous
9) Mobb Deep-Juvenile Hell
This list changes like every month
Have any of you guys been to any of your above mentioned favorite artists shows!? I was SO close to going to the Madvilliany release party/show. I am determined to go to at least go to one show before the end of the school year. Hopefully they will have a Quasimoto 2 release party and I'll definitley go!!!
I know this is off topic.
in no particular order...
classics
epmd-business as usual
gangstarr-hard to earn
ice cube-death certificate
nas-illmatic
recent
quasimoto-the unseen
lootpack-soundpieces:the antidote
dialated peoples-the platform
ugly duckling-all of their albums get heavy rotation
king geedorah-take me to your leader
will think of more later
"terrible list my ass"
Yes, terrible list. Anyone that cites Lloyd Banks as one of the greatest albums of all time has no musical perception. You picked all 2pac and Biggie albums when both of them only ever had two that were above par. Then you didn't even pick Eminem at us most un-commercial, you picked his breakthrough album.

I heard Aesop Rock's Daylight track for the first time the other day (i know its old now) and i'm gonna get his album as soon as possible. What a great track, can anyone tell me what the rest of the album is like? Also i want to get Sage Francis "Personal Journals" soon as i've heard good things about him to. Any others i should look for?
