I think Hov is the goat regardless he’s just continued to stay at the top even if he’s missed on some albums

On a side note, I would include Pac because his first two albums are personal classics for me.

The production wasn't the greatest but Pac's rapping and messages were raw as hell on songs like Young Black Male, Brenda's Got A Baby, Souljah's Revenge, and Keep Ya Head Up.

I understand it isn't consensus for Pac's first 2 to be classics though.

Come over to the good side (itunes)

I got you.

depends on what you count as albums but probably kendrick, kanye, dr dre, outkast, and tribe

Earl might be up there after his next album

Nobody said Ghostface huh

I think it's who would be in your top 5 if you only count each rappers first 4 albums

only genuine miss in the tribe discog was their 5th album, but the rest of their discog makes up for it incredibly. there's still a couple gems in that album

Man I ain't even finished Cam solo discography lol. I gotta digest it all first
