A hip hop thread and only a few nods for Wu-tang? 36 Chambers for me, changed my view of hip hop completely.
killarmy - silent weapons for quiet wars
killarmy - dirty weapondry
killah priest - heavy mental
wutang clan - 36 chambers
wutang clan - wu forever
method man - tical (1994)
dead prez - lets get free
dead prez - get free or die tryin'
canibus - jack the ripper
outkast - aquemeni
outkast - atliens
tupac - all eyez on me
tupac - makeaveli
jedi mind tricks - the psycho-social, chemical, biological & electromagnetic manipulation of human conciousness.
jedi mind tricks - legacy of blood
the pharcyde - labcabincalifornia
the pharcyde - plain rap
the pharcyde - bizarre ride
gangstar - moment of truth
the fugues - the score
lauren hill - the miseducation of
gza - liquid swords
gza - beneath the surface
mob deep - the infamous
mob deep - hell on earth
the roots - things fall apart
the roots - illadelph halflife
roots manuva - run come save me
roots manuva - brand new second hand
krs one - i got next
phi life cypher - millenium metaphors
company flow - funcrusher plus
gravediggas - pick, the sickle & the shovel
guru's jazzmatazz - vol.I vol.II vol.III
i like 4th disciple as a producer, dj premier and enemy of man kind of course.
the list is surely incomplete, those are just the cds i know are well rounded and have heard well.
i can make a nice list of good hiphop in spanish if anyone is interested.

I didn't read through this whole thread..but there was some great stuff on here. Let me add mine..some have been mentioned before.
(I'm also only listing CDs that I have actually purchased)
Wu Tang: 36 Chambers
Slick Rick: Art of Storytelling
Rakim: The Master
Big L: Lifestylez of the poor & dangerous
Method Man: Tical 2000 Judgement Day
Big Pun: Capital Punishment
Dr. Dre: Chronic 2001(Personally, I feel the original Chronic was more groundbreaking than great..it's still pretty fucking good, though.)
Eminem: Slim Shady LP(all of his are good, and I especially like Eminem Show, but this one caught everyone off guard.)
D12: Devil's Night(I don't care what you say...it's great..R.I.P. Proof)
Scarface: Greatest Hits(I'd really hate to list a greatest hits album..but it fucking rocks hardcore).
D.O.C.: Deuce.
I think those are my favorites
Edit:
Chali 2na: Fish Market(probably one of the best rappers ever...just not much reputation)
Outkast: Aquemini(this was a fan-fuckin-tastic album that my brother actually got me)
ODB: Nigga Please / Trials & Tribulations of Russel Jones (2 of the most entertaining albums ever purchased)
Beastie Boys: Liscense to Ill

If you just want some thugged out hardcore rap, Big L is the shit. If you want some shit with a message, you cant beat Immortal Technique. If you want some thuggish shit that also has a message to it, Tupac Shakur and NAS are great.
