I want to get some essential rap albums. I am a long-time hater of the genre, but I've come to realize that in every genre there is quality music worth listening to (yes, even country). I've listed 10 critically acclaimed albums that I have been looking at, so feel free to give your input or even recommend different albums. Thanks.

Dr. Dre
The Chronic

Deltron 3030

ninjuice 04.25.09	Get Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint by Jay. First is better, the second isn't. Both are still amazing. Other than that... Kanye West - The College Dropout Pharoahe Monch - Desire
HighandDriving 04.25.09	I agree with Juice, get Royce - Death is Certain.
roofi 04.25.09	i am the farthest thing from a rap expert, but i like illmatic by nas a lot and it's highly regarded on this site
Turtlelephant 04.25.09	Illmatic by Nas Tronic by Black Milk
bodominflames 04.25.09	Nas - Illmatic
ninjuice 04.25.09	Food and Liquor by Lupe Fiasco is good too. It's not "classic" or "essential" though
TheNewWhack 04.25.09	Goodie Mob - Still Standing Anything by Kaze, Murs, and Big Pooh Talib Kweli - Quality
AlexTM510 04.25.09	The Roots-Phrenology & Game Theory. Note that they use a live band so if you ceom from a rock background it'll be something to sink into easily. If you like those two check out the rest of their stuff. Lupe Fiasco-Food & Liquor, The Cool
illmitch 04.25.09	Mobb Deep - The Infamous Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Nas - Illmatic UGK - Ridin' Dirty Goodie Mob - Soul Food
Bsmith7 04.25.09	Deep Puddle Dynamics - The Taste Of Rain... Why Kneel?
kitsch 04.25.09	mobb deep sux ass i second the nas and black milk get all eyez on me for some more good pac get some roots albums too.
illmitch 04.25.09	dude are you serious? have you even heard The Infamous? it's easily one of the greatest old-school Queensbridge albums. Nas even does a verse on it.
TheGreatD17 04.25.09	A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders I can't believe they haven't been mentioned.
stoopkid 04.25.09	Fantastic Damage by El-P.

R6Rider 04.26.09	so much props for E 1999 Eternal, I hate rap now but back in the day I listened to that album all the time
Dave de Sylvia 04.26.09	Most people around here (including me) will tell you that Fear Of A Blank Planet and Yo! Bum Rush The Show are the best Public Enemy albums.
Ruins 04.26.09	what, Mobb Deep fucking rules. Black Star- Black Star Mos Def- Black on Both Sides Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf- Big Shots The Roots- Rising Down Ghostface Killah- Ironman cLOUDDEAD- cLOUDDEAD
