The truth of it, you think of 4 or 5, next thing you know you have 10.
Was gonna make it 10, but that would've been too easy! :P

I just remembered that Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik, Return of the DJ, Wave Twisters and other things exist. DMC youtube vids would def be in my top 5 too if they were an album :oops:

No order off top of the head...

36 Chambers,
Illmatic
something from Public Enemy (Greatest misses was always a favourite, first cd I ever bought along with Black Sunday)
Something Cypress Hill (Black Sunday or Temples of Boom)
Something DJ Shadow (Entroducing or The Private Press)

*edit
Thats 5 but there is more I would have included, definately would have some Rakim in there ("Book of Life" maybe idk)
