i have more of a conscious rapper preference

Kanye west - Late Registration/ orchestration
Notorious BIG - Life After Death
Wu Tang Clan - enter the wu
A tribe called quest - Midnight marauders
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly (greatest album of MODERN DAY (2005-now) hiphop so far)
The roots - Illadelph Halflife
MF Doom - madvillany
Tupac - the 7 day theory
The roots - things fall apart
Nas - Illmatic (of course)
The Pharcyde - bizzarre ride II
Black Star album ( Talib Kweli and Mos def)
Dr. Dre - 2001
Eminem - Slim shady LP
Common - be
Lauryn hill - the Miseducaton of lauryn hill
Missy Elliot - Da Real World
Outkast - ATLiens
NASA - The Spirit of Apollo
Jay z - reasonable doubt

You're not the only female hiphop head don't worry.

Is this ever going to kick off?

What's the point? Madvillainy is just going to win anyway.

Most of the ones I like have been listed already, I would just add:

1. Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill (still their best by far imo)

2. L'Orange and Jeremiah Jae - The Night Took Us in Like Family (thanks to Exo, I heard about this album from his 2015 list)

^Have you heard Time? Astonishing!? The lyricism isn't as good, but I think it's superior on all other fronts.
