Pretty nice list there, Id replace the above because some of which i haven't heard and others i dont agree with.
anyway, my replacements:

Dilated Peoples - Expansion Team straight swap for the The Platform, i think its a more solid album all round
Makaveli - The Don Killuminati (The 7 Day Theory)
Chino XL - Here to save you all
Cormega - The Realness
DJ Format - Music For the Mature B-Boy
Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol. 1
NaS - The Lost Tapes
LL Cool J - Radio
Talib Kweli - Quality
The Coup - Steal This Album
Trajedy Khadafi - Still Reportin'
Westside Connection - Bow Down
P.E - it takes a nation of millions.....

Makaveli

DJ Format is number 32.

Orizio

Obviously that was a personal list right Makaveli?

Little suprised Lost Tapes isn't there.I'm not really sure how you can have 36 chambers ahead of OB4CL or Liquid Swords either.

Tep ten then,since I haven't even got a 100 albums,nevermind 100 Hip-Hop albums...

1.Nas-Illmatic.(Shocker!!!)
2.Cormega-The Realness.(Incredible how hard he fell off after this lyrically)
3.Mobb Deep-The Infamous.
4.GZA-Liquid Swords.
5.AZ-Aziatic.
6.Raekwon-OB4CL.
7.Talib Kweli and Mos Def-Blackstar.
8.Outkast-Aquamini.
9.Chino XL-Here To Save You All.
10.Nas-The Lost Tapes.

Makaveli

Personal list yes, and as stated not in any particular order.
Lost Tapes isn't there as 3 Nas albums is overkill, and I was trying to spread it evenly.

Scratch Acid

Beh. 10 will do.

Enter the Wu-Tang
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
Madvillainy
It Takes a Nation of Millions...
Liquid Swords
The Cold Vein
Arrhythmia
Emergency Rations (Mr. Lif)
Step in the Arena
Run-DMC

I don't know as much older stuff as I should. Ah well.

2pac - all eyez on me, brilliant and 'can't see me' is class
jay-z - dynasty roc la familia, some great ones on here like 'parkin lot pimpin' and squeeze 1'st the whole album is full of great songs
