I remember listening to this excessively on a camping trip when I was in middle school. It's one of the quintessential hip-hop albums. It was one of the first albums in the genre that I felt like I understood. Growing up as a lower-middle class white kid I wrote rap/hip-hop off as a joke. It's got consciousness, heart, humor, and killer production. It balances it's heavier tracks with amazing grooves. "B.O.B." is a classic that never gets old. "Stankonia (Stanklove)" puts you in another dimension altogether.
