My favorite rap album ever is Tupac - Me Against the World

What's yours?

All 2pac albums are classics. Even those after he died, except for Loyal To The Game...Eminem really messed that one up. Besides 2pac, I would have to say:
50 cent - Get rich or Die Tryin
Warren G - The G Funk Era
Master P - Ghetto Dope
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers Album
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
BONE Thugs N Harmony - East 1999
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
T.I. - Trap Musik
UGK - Ridin Dirty
That's all I can think of right now. My definition of "classic" is a rap album that you can listen from start to finish, and every song is good.

I'll go with Jay-Z's Curse album from Blueprint 2. Really too many to list though.
