Try and get your hands on "The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury". They dropped it in 1992 and it's got some pretty hard-hitting rhymes.

Hazy Shade of Criminal by Public Enemy is really good.

really dug that The Perceptionists song as well as Billy woods

my personal favorite is Sole -Theme

but i can honestly say that Consolidated's Unity of Oppression is quite possibly the most influential song i've ever heard....i was 13 or 14 when i first saw this video and it lit a torch inside me....i changed and have never looked back
