of course, there are a few more.

I probably would've said it, but I haven't listened to it fully and comprehended it. It'd be hypocritical of me. :[

Dalek-Absence is quintessential Hip Hop.

I deffinently think Regulate G Funk Era by Warren G is awesome.

Only the first two tracks are worthy of a mention and the album version of 'Regulate' omits the Michael Mcdonald sample. Although this would usually be a good thing, the sample greatly enhanced the track.

I think Anti-Pop Consortium - Arrhythmia is the only hip-hop album where I love every track. Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version comes close though.

Yeah, that was Ice Cube's first album, wasn't it?

ODB's debut for sure. and all the Wu solo debuts are pretty definitive I think. some personal faves/generally acclaimed:

Black Sheep - A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
Busta Rhymes - The Coming
the Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
De La Soul - Stakes Is High
Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep
Main Source - Breaking Atoms
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
Young Black Teenagers - Young Black Teenagers
Public Enemy - Takes A Nation..., Fear of A Black Planet
Black Moon - Enta Da Stage
Guru - Jazzmatazz
Mobb Deep - The Infamous
Brand Nubian - One For All

+ madvillainy by madvillain.

Is it really possible that this thread has gone 4 pages without anyone mentioning I, Phantom by Mr. Lif? That album is about as close to perfect as you can get and probably my favorite hip-hop album of all time.
