I’m lowkey spamming tf out of this thread but so many classics are coming to mind. These albums are pretty well known but not to the KTT userbase who started listening to rap in 2015.
DJ Quik - Safe & Sound and Rhythmalism have infinite replay value
Warren G - Regulate...G Funk Era is slept on in comparison to the title track
Suga Free - Street Gospel
8Ball & MJG - On Top of the World
Z-Ro - The Life of Joseph McVey
Z-Ro & Trae the Truth - It Is What It Is
Atmosphere - You Can’t Imagine How Much Fun We’re Having
Mozzy - 1 Up Top Ahk is a modern classic and I never see it shown any love here
keep going b
Rarely see love for digible planets on here tbh
Yeah i dont mess iwith them too heavy and even less with that electro mess.
Kurious - Consipated Monkey
Heiro in general
Nujabes and fat jon l.p.s
Pete rock - petestrumentals 1-3
Ice Cubes group - Da Lench Mob albums (Fight the power type toughness)
need more nujabes talk on here fr
Dead Prez debut
keep going b
I never see Devin the Dude get props on here, which is a shame considering he mastered blending rapping and melody together. Scarface’s disco is super slept on too. I’m sure you already know this, but hopefully someone less acquainted with classics can learn something new.
Freeway & Jake One - The Stimulus Package
Beanie Sigel - The B.Coming
Big Mike - Somethin Serious
Some of Redmans classics, like Dare iz a darkside and Muddy Waters
Every project Elzhi dropped
Phonte - Charity Starts at Home
Some more modern tapes
Street Knowledge - Ice Cold Mack (super underrated MC from the Bay)
Lil Yee - Cita Son
Nef the Pharaoh - The Chang Album Smoke DZA - K.O.N.Y., The Hustlers Catalog and Dream.Zone.Achieve are pretty slept on
Trademark da Skydiver and Young Roddy - Family Business (Curren$ys protégés, this project is pretty solid)

Tela - Piece of Mind
E-40 & The Click - Game Related
Souls of Mischief - 93 til Infinity
The Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia. Not unknown by any means, but I’ve sadly never seen it mentioned here. I’ve never seen Cypress Hill discussed either
Chino XL - Here to save you all
Jedi Mind Tricks - Psyco Social LP
Witchdoctor - SWAT
Have you heard Chino XL's album that came out back in 2012, "Ricanstruction"? That's his best album to me.
