| | | | 1- Common - One Day It'll All Make Sense
2- The Roots - Things Fall Apart
3- Public Enemy - He Got Game
4- IAM - L'école du micro d'argent
5- Either something by CNN (Capone N No Regae) or something by Immortal Technique.
Then again I'm probably forgetting TONS of artists. 5 just isn't enough. |

1. A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
2. The Roots - Tipping Point or Illadelph Halflife
3. DJ Shadow - Entroducing
4. Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow
5. New Kingdom - Paradise Don't Come Cheap
That's my five at this moment, but I could easily rattle off 200 hip-hop albums that I love. |

the roots-things fall apart, common-like water for chocolate and be, ATCQ-midnight marauders, outkast-atliens, aquemini and stankonia, jay-z-the black album, and liquid swords from the gza is probabaly number 6 for me....amazing album.
