Masochist
11.24.10 | Oh...and for more Wu stuff:

GnarlyShillelagh
11.24.10 | Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly
Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot
Big L - Lifestylez
Black Star - Eponymous

Run-DMC - Raising Hell
2Pac - Me Against the World
Long list, so if you're wondering where to start, I'd suggest starting with these 10:
Aquemini
Lifestylez of da Poor and Dangerous
OB4CL2
Things Fall Apart
The Infamous
Black on Both Sides
Desire
Hell Hath No Fury
Reasonable Doubt
Revolutionary, Vol 2
But definitely try to get to the others at some point, and don't sleep on others' recs either; they're good and were omitted from my list 'cause others mentioned them.
Also, if you find yourself into underground hip-hop at all let me know and I can rec you some good stuff.
Finally, don't listen to anyone who tells you Gucci Mane or Waka Flocka Flame are good. Those people are liars and should most likely be cut. |

11.24.10 | hilltop hoods - the long hard road (restrung is awesome but listen to the original one first)
ugk - underground kingz
kid cudi - man on the moon pt 2: legend of mr rager

last 2 are a little more underground so you may want to stay away from them until you're a little more into the genre |

GnarlyShillelagh
11.24.10 | Yeah but most of the stuff was rec'd 'cause it's essential to have a good knowledge base for music.
You'd be hard pressed to find someone whose only hip-hop albums were 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, Ready to Die, and Typical Cats. |
