Even though our country is f***ing trash atm with Brexit and Tories and all the other s***e, we have produced some fine albums in our history. Thinking of all the Bowie albums, Beatles (not my cup of tea, but indisputable legends), Massive Attack, Radiohead.

UK Big Beat & UKG continues to inspire the mainstream sound
If we keeping it strictly hip hop, I’d say Blak Twang - Dettwork South East is the first real UK classic. This and pretty much all of the 90s-00s UK rap scene too underground to be comparable to US rap albums like Illmatic tho (as in never got a similar level of popular appeal). Roots Manuva - Run Come Save Me is probably the first one that got anything like major commercial appeal.
Better comparison to Illmatic would prob be from grime, Dizzee Rascal - Boy In Da Corner had strong commercial appeal and great critical reception, and still a seminal album in the scene
