    Hip Hop is basically the only music I listen to. But I've realized a lot of the stuff that I listen to isn't really what hip hop is all about. I grew up liking mainstream and what was on the top 10 of 106 and Park, and I never really bothered to listen to good MC's. So I ask you guys, put me on some good hip hop albums please!

    I know everyone's going to say Ready To Die and Illmatic, so I'll ignore those two. Never really listened to either of them fully, but whatever.
    From my PERSONAL preference (meaning these might not be consensus classics)

    2Pac- Makaveli- The 7 Day Theory
    2Pac- Until The End of Time
    2Pac- Me Against The World
    2Pac- All Eyez On Me (depends on which songs you listen to...a handful of them are classics, a handful of them suck ass)
    Eminem- Marshall Mathers LP
    Eminem- Slim Shady LP
    Nas- Stillmatic
    Rakim- The 18th Letter
    Notorious B.I.G- Life After Death
    Jay-Z- The Blueprint 1 (love this album)
    Xzibit- 40 Days & 40 Nights
    Dr.Dre- Chronic 2001
    DMX- It's Dark & Hell Is Hot

    That's all for now.

    Come on Chutney give some props to ODB. REturn to the 36 chambers is a sick album in my opinion. ODB's style is different but still enjoyable.

    Just personal preference. I've never been a big ODB fan, but I know a lot of people who like his style. Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version definitely wasn't a bad album.

    I like buying the albums, because I like having the actual case, cd art, etc.....I suggest ebay, or you can find local mom and pop record stores who sell used albums really cheap.

    Try amazon.com. You can buy used CD's from people selling them. It's kind of like ebay except no bidding.

    I usually listen to the albums first, and if I decide it's worth the 10 bucks or so, then I will go out and buy it. I suggest you giving some of the albums a listen first before going out and copping it. That way you won't be disappointed

    Only ones I buy are the ones ridiculously hard to download. Usually that means albums of older, classic artists or ones with a lot of skits or random songs in it.
