    I'll pick 4.

    For me Protect Ya Neck is awesome. Method Man and ODB's ryhmes on it are magic. What an introduction from the Clan.

    Also I love December 4 and 99 Problems by Jay Z. Great stuff.

    Finally Don't Believe the Hype but I could've had nearly anything off Nation of Millions. Yeah Boooyee!
