don't tell me.. drug overdose??

heres my top 10 albums just of the top of my head:

Dr Dre - Chronic/2001: cannot pick between them, such different styles and production by dre on both records. both all time classics.

Jurassic 5 - Quality control: The best party hip hop group, awesome dj'ing and scratching by cut chemist and nu-mark, and great rhymes and delivery by charlie 2na, mark 7 and soup. the best non-gangsta album i own.

De La Soul - De la soul is dead: everybody loves 3 ft high and rising but this is my fave, apart from some awful skits and a couple of rare duds, some all time classics on here..."a rollerskating jam named saturdays" "keep the faith" "ring ring ring" etc

wu tang - 36 chambers: where it all started for me. i remember sitting in a mates room sharing a joint and just being blown away by C.R.E.A.M., that was a life changing experience for me. got me onto hip hop in a big way.

xzibit - restless: the only cd to get constant rotation in my car for over 6 months, goddamn i thrashed the shit out of this album. man he fell off after this though, i cant stand man vs machine.

2pac - hard choosing between all eyez and me against the world but ill go with all eyez on me. no explanation necessary, if this aint in everyones top 10 albums of hip hop...:shock:

Raekwon feat. Ghostface Killa - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx: i cant really describe it but this album sounds like no other hip hop album ive ever heard. the production is still raw and dirty like rza's usual beats but so different, like really hypnotic and trance like almost.

method man & red man - blackout: these 2 had such a sick flow off each other, great beats and a great party album too.

snoop - doggystyle: dre's beats and snoops mellow rhyming style just go together like gin and juice

Biggie - cant choose between ready to die and life after death: RTD is awesome, LAD is more commercial friendly but still classics like hypnotize, kick in the door, mo money mo problems all kick ass.

add to that nice list Madvillain aka MF Doom, a very unique rapper who has some weird ass beats but it works somehow.

yeah man I didnt list that cause im pretty sure kool keith is mf doom I got victor vaugh the vaudiville vilian and danger doom ( is danger mouse producer and mf doom ) the mouse and the mask is the album and ive read kool keith is dr octogon aswell my opinion he is but people have told me it isnt so im lil unsure on that one but it sounds exaactly like him I got dr octogonoligist as well by dr octogon

Some others that are good to listen to nowadays: Lupe Fiasco, Procussions, Phil The Agony, One Be Low, Cunninlyguists, Demigodz.

Other great groups and artists I've listened too at one point or another that haven't been mentioned: Mobb Deep, MOP, Ludacris (when he was dropping 'bo's), Dead Prez, Roots, Dilated Peoples, Nappy Roots, J5, Noreaga, Clipse & NERD.

Like the top 10 JZA, but to keep it to 10 is just too hard I would add in there Jay-Z's Black Album, something by Eminem just because of what he has done in hip hop, NWA, Ice Cube, Run DMC, Outkast Stankonia is ****ing dope.

Big shout out to New Zealand hip-hop in Scribe! Saw this guy on the weekend for the fourth time at a massive festival and he blew me away once again! First off he started with Stand Up, then threw his set list away, got about 40 people from the crowd on stage with him and starting covering all the classic hip hop songs from Dre, to Snoop, To Cube! It was sick!!!!!!!!!!!
Fully!

And JZA, I had Restless going for around 6 months too in my car until someone jacked my car stereo with the cd in it! Please X to tha Z, pimp my ride!
