I agree with every sentiment, except for Talib Kweli's second album. I remember loving "The Beautiful Struggle", but granted, it's been years since I've listened to it.

If you haven't heard Aesop Rock's 'Skelethon' album, might be worth checking out. Probably his most accessible album and still one of his best.

Nah Talib's second album is Quality. Haven't heard past that.

Are you considering Black Star to be his first album?

I was thinking you meant Talib solo albums.

Damn, I forgot about that one. I'm almost positive I own it and have listened to it. I'll have to revisit it.

The problem having just an old school selection would be so few people would submit, as if I stuck to strictly Old School, I would only choose about 5 records, for most the Disco Rap era is quite a niche sound for people, and most find it, dare I say boring?
