Some bonafied Hip Hop classics, some R&B picks, one of his own, a soundtrack and even an album that's less than a year old, guest editor Sean Price gives HipHopDX readers his all time Top 20 albums.
When we handed the reigns over to Sean Price to guest-edit HipHopDX for this week, he gave us this list. Truth be told, we didn't ask for it. But in the age of the Internet list, we wouldn't argue, especially with Sean P. Plus, we really liked some choices.
