September 15, 201115 yr I don't even remotely have a list yet. But let's hear everyone's. The only thing I know for sure are these two albums will definitely be on there: Notorious B.I.G - Ready to Die Outkast - Aquemeni
September 15, 201115 yr Not going to list 10, but one I always feel is completely underappreciated is Harlem World by Mase.
September 15, 201115 yr A couple notes to preface this: 1) this isn't a "most influential" or even a "best" list; these are just my favorite, 2) I only allowed for one album per artist or both Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest would have made multiple appearances each in my Top 10 and 3) I did this off the top of my head... it will probably be different by about 8 pm tonight. I might post an update... Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Madvillain - Madvillainy Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders Das EFX - Dead Serious Lords of the Undergound - Here Come the Lords CommonSense/Common - Resurrection DJ Format - Music for the Mature B-Boy Jay-Z - The Blueprint
September 15, 201115 yr Don't know if I could particularly name ten, but these four would have to be in mine: Fugees - The Score Outkast - Aquemeni A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
September 15, 201115 yr Wow, going to take a lot of thought before I can come up with a legit final list, but just off the top of my head a few to consider are..... Not in any order..... Tupac - All Eyez On Me Biggie - Ready to Die Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP NWA - Straight Outta Compton Dr. Dre - The Chronic Outkast - Aquemini 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Trying Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle Wu Tang - Enter the Wu-Tang Bone Thugs and Harmony - The Art Of War Black Star - Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star The Game - Documentary Master P - MP Da Last Don Mixtapes Wiz Khalifa - Prince of the City II Wiz Khalifa - Kush and Orange Juice Lil Wayne - Da Drought III Lil Wayne - No Ceilings Gucci Mane - The Return of Mr. Zone 6 Mac Miller - K.I.D.S. J. Cole - Warmup Edited September 15, 201115 yr by dolamite
September 15, 201115 yr No Illmatic yet?! I'll also add Midnight Marauders by ATCQ. Good thread, by the way.
September 15, 201115 yr No Illmatic yet?! Great album, just not a huge Nas fan. Maybe its because I like Jay-Z a lot better?
September 15, 201115 yr Author No Illmatic yet?! I'll also add Midnight Marauders by ATCQ. Good thread, by the way.If it doesn't make the final cut it will definitely be in the honorable mentions.

If you would have said Ghetto D then I probably wouldn't have said anything...but Da Last Don was pretty awful. Other than that it's a solid list.
September 15, 201115 yr That last one sticks out like a sore thumb. If you would have said Ghetto D then I probably wouldn't have said anything...but Da Last Don was pretty awful. Other than that it's a solid list. Well couple of my favorite P songs were on that album so I guess thats why I included it other than Game Face or Ghetto D. I have been listening to Da Last Don a lot more than the others lately so that probably has something to do with it. I just had to get a Master P album on the list, always loved P and never felt he got the recognition he deserved as far as putting his stamp on the hip hop industry.
September 16, 201115 yr Author Going to put my list up later tonight. Love this thread.Been listening to Hip-Hop since 8 a.m. and I'm nowhere closer to having a list. Can't wait to see yours man. And still waiting on the Pac/Biggie answer.
