Tooo hard. I mean I didn’t even list and Mobb, Gangstarr, Dre, Jay, etc. But variety is the key of like: some rap, thrash metal, trip hop and would have added pop but prefer compilations.
Dummy is outright one of the best albums ever. Suggest everyone listens to it at least once.
I couldn’t decide between illmatic, stillmatic and LIG.
I think LIG resonates most with me in this moment in my life .. but I ain’t wanna overrate it for that reason.
I almost added Graduation but realized I only had one slot left
