A Sufi and a Killer - Gonjasufi (not hip hop, but has hip hop elements)
Take Me To Your Leader - King Geedorah (Another well known artist but one of his lesser known albums; get what you'd expect from a DOOM album)
Quicksand - Noah23 (abstract lyricism with very nice production)

^These are some pretty good ones.
Madvillain- Madvillainy (highest rated rap album of all time on metacritic. just saying)
Blackstar- Blackstar (this album is a classic that everyone should listen to.)
Mos Def- The Ecstatic (Really interesting and varied production throughout the whole album. Top notch lyricism by mr. Mos, and his last album under that name
)
Any album by A Tribe Called Quest is fantastic, but you should get The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders first.
