So now I'm going to have to but them again (Snoop was my 2nd copy already!)
What are your absolute classics?
Pharcycde - Bizarre Ride 2 The Pharcyde.
De La Soul - 3 Feet High And Rising
Gang Star - No More Mr. Nice Guy / Step In The Arena

I can never do without
Tribe - People's instinctive travels and the paths of rhythm
either
My copy of "Ill Communication" got nicked during my sister's birthday party and it's still one of my favourite LPs.
There aren't really that many hip hop LPs that are great from start to finish - it's more about the singles really - but Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop by Diamond D, Breakin' Atoms by Main Source. Mecca and the Soul Brother by Pete Rock and CL Smooth, The Unseen by Quasimoto and the Beatnuts' first LP are all a good listen.
Can't think of any UK hip hop LPs that I've loved unconditionally, Braintax's first one was great but a bit weak in places. If anyone has a spare copy of "Glimity Glamity" then let me know. 😉
Joolsburger, is that the recent Tommy Boy's Greatest Beats, or the 1984 one featuring Planet Patrol and similar cheese?
Damn, I've 'lost' more CD's than I'd previously thought!
Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star 💡
Black Star - I still have, that is a true masterpiece. One to be listened to from beginning to end!
amongst LP's I had stolen from a club a while ago that I still miss 🙁
KRS One - I Got Next
DJ Shadow - Pre-Emptive Strike
RJD2 - Deadringer
Heiroglyphics - Full Circle
Redman - Whut, The Album
Cypress Hill - S/T
Jurassic 5 Quality Control
wish I had the disposable to income to replace these in particular 👿
The best brit album I heard was
Overlord X - Weapon is my lyric
Doomsday of rap is [b]the[/b] one from Hijack AFAIC, I was in the room when Ronnie recorded that. I'm surprised to see Hijack mentioned here.
