It's always hard to be definitive - especially only 5! After nearly 50 years of listening to music though, these are the ones I always go back to...

David Bowie - Heroes
Bill Nelson - Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam
Beatles - Revolver
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

^So C4C still hasn't surpassed Fantastic Damage for you?

David Bowie - Toy (The Lost Album)

Beach Boys - Smiley Smile

Cream - Fresh Cream

Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo

Curren$y - The Stoned Immaculate (totally left-field from everything else that's listed but this is hip hop at it's finest)

No way no how. Probably surpassed I'll Sleep When You're Dead though.

The only problem with Fantastic Damage is Ill Bill, whereas Cancer 4 Cure has a few more weak spots (Danny Brown's verse, "If you kill him I won't tell", the length of a few intro's and outros)

Me and you... we're on the same ****ing page as concerns Aesop and El-P, I think.

Ill Bill was the 1 point off of 100. 99/100 for FanDam. Ill Bill.... what an un-necessary feature. "gettin my dick sucked by cokeheads...fantastic damage.... what?!!?!?" derpppppppp shut the **** up!!

I didn't mind If You Kill Him I Won't Tell. It's one of the weaker tracks, yes. But I don't mind it. It's a really clever, sad story and its also good for social commentary on the whole "no snitches" lifestyle. The New York way of life seems so damn depressing and ugly. El-P has captured the nastiness of New York perfectly.

You damn right. That's one of the albums I can just play right through, and rap along man. Well, not really rap along, cause they use so much slang! I don't think anyone has deciphered their demo, "Bubblin'". Ski Beatz is a legend on that beat. Someone needs to remake it! Haha!
