Cypress Hill III: Temples Of Boom
First hip-hop album I bought. Absolutely love it to this day. Darkest beats ever.

Every newcomer to hip hop should check out Madvillain - Madvillainy imo, prime example of how not all of this genre's not the same
Maybe not the first album you ever listen to though, maybe treat it as a deeper cut to get into after Illmatic etc
And definitely check out Stankonia

I've been meaning to cop the INI album for ages now, just haven't got around to it. It's now been bumped up the list though.
lowphat, if you haven't, check out 'Petestrumentals' and 'Soul Survivor'
Also this is dope as hell:

Cheers Maccaveli. Will check it out.
For anyone who's interested, my mate's got an album coming out soon. Check out the promo mix.
DJ/Beatmaker from Perth, Australia.... working on his first album... The Chase.... featuring KRS-One, Kool G Rap, Yesh, MF Doom, OC, Bahamadia, Percee P, Sean Price, El Da Sensei, J-Live, Thirstin Howl the 3rd w/ Sadat X, Craig G, Masta Ace, Prince Po... more to be announced.... mid 2012 release... stay tuned!!!
He produces old school, which is amazing to watch. I've heard alot of the verses that are completed and they are dope. About 2 months ago he was waiting on a verse or two, so should be out hopefully soon, if anyone's interested I'll find out for you.

CL Smooth album
INI
petestrumentals
his tracks are all over a slew of legendary hip hop albums, those are really the only big solo/exec production albums that come to mind
