Of the albums you listed i would say DMX or Hotboys. because the production still has the more one producer one sound feel to the whole album.
The albums after that started that new era of multiple producers on each album, plus one cut for the ladies, one cut for club, type shyt they did throughout the 00s. Like a nikka like Jadakiss in 2004 will do 70% of his album some straight gutter lox shyt, but also throw in a song with lil jon, or a track with Marey Carey and shyt. No cohesiveness to the album at all just there to be singles and sell records.
Nowadays, shyt is the opposite an album is basically just all that shyt, singles, and couple gutter tracks of straight bars to show they still a real spitter
