In no specific order

Nas - Illmatic

Dr. Dre - Chronic 2001


(I realize im missing some)

 

Lupe Fiasco--The Cool
Immortal Technique--Revolutionary Volume II
Immoral Technique--3rd World
Lupe Fiasco--Food and Liquor

 

both very good, don't know enough Lupe to judge

 

Listen.. Some people may disagree with me, but a few good Albums/Mixtapes would have to be by lloyd banks..

Lloyd Banks - Gang Green Season
Lloyd Banks - Return of The PLK

 

MY FAVORITE ALBUM THUS FAR IS Lupe Fiasco--Food and Liquor
LUPE IS A BEAST

 

Your list is essentially all my favorites, but I also like:
Nas - It Was Written
The Game - The Documentary (Edited, because I was looking at my iTunes and realized I prefer this to Doctor's Advocate or LAX (Although all 3 are good albums)
2Pac - Me Against The World
Common - Resurrection
KRS ONE - Criminal Minded
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold us Back
Public Enemy - He Got Game(Perhaps more than It Takes a Nation)
and definitely Wu Tang - 36 Chambers
Eric B and Rakim - Paid in Full
Kurtis Blow's self titled album should be mentioned too, where would hip hop be if it weren't for The Breaks?

I'm missing tons of very great albums, too many to name pretty much.
Illmatic and Blackstar are likely my all time favorites, but you have them.. And "Cold World" and "Liquid Swords" off Liquid Swords are two of my favorite hip-hop songs.

 

JIZZ IN MY PANTS!!
such a song

 

The entire Notorious B.I.G discography including Born Again, Duets, Greatest Hits, Life After Death, and Ready To Die, as well as sinatra.

Nas- Illmatic,

KRS-One I Got Next

 

Nass- Illmatic
Nas- It was written
50 cent- Get rich or die trying (nice diss tracks)

2pac- Me against the world (alot of other albums)

I havnt really listened to krs, immortal, or anyone else so im not to sure about there music.

 

Man.. I gotta hear it was written. I don't think I ever did

 

Besides obviously Illmatic, I'd say it's his best album. Also, I know Criminal Minded is a BDP album, I said KRS One so people who didn't know what BDP is would understand.
